| Best amps for Usher X 718 I want an integrated amp w phono | |
| New favorite VINYL Album? I really like the new The Arcade Fire lp and the fairly new Kings of Leon. Recommended if you like the music. | |

| Speaker recommendations I want to replace the kg4's b/c, IMO, they sound a tad bright, they dont image well, and the finish isnt good any more either. | |
| Speaker recommendations I have above $1000 to spend on speakers. I prefer full range b/c I wont have to spend extra for stands and a sub and speaker wires. But, I like to pin point imaging that comes with monitors, and I like the flexibility of a sub...does that help? |
