| Demoing speakers in LA area? I should say though that if you are looking for the latest wham bam home theater or stereophile reccomended/audiophile approved product, then some of the other suggestions are probably better. However, if you want to cut through the BS and just en... | |
| Need to match a receiver to Spendor S5e You'll need more power than any of those provide. If you must use a receiver, try an Arcam AVR300 with the 6/7th channels bi-amped. I briefly powered a pair of S5e with a RSX-1055 and the sound was anemic at best. Even with more power I didn't fin... | |
| Good Budget CD and integrated???? I would 2nd the Rotel recommendation. I first started in this hobby with the Paradigm Reference line and Rotel equipment. Thought they worked quite well with one another. The RA-1062/RCD-1072 combo has received universal praise and would be well u... | |
| Monitor Audio Silver RS6 Plenty of chatter on 'em at on AV-focused sites...RS6 thread on avforumMA discussion on avsforum, RS specific more towards the end of the thread | |
| Is KEF no longer relevant? Some would say that they've diluted the brand by focusing at least their lower-end models to the home theater crowd (the Eggs, for example). In addition, I get the sense that the Uni-Q concept was originally perceived as a bit of a gimick and back... | |
| Dipole surround speaker to match KEF 104.2? I have nothing substantive to add other than to say that I'm another longtime 104.2 owner. Curious to know what you all are using to power the Kefs? I was using a Rotel RSX-1055 receiver. I've had good experience with Rotel amps powering the Kef's... | |
| Arcam AVR-300 vs. B & K AVR 507 vs. Rotel RSX-1067 "Though my B&K seems in great company and is making great music with its fellow Brits, I have to wonder how the Arcam reciever would sound."A minor point, but B&K is a US and not British company. | |
| Height clearance for a Rega Planet 2000 Thanks, Nick. | |
| Help KEF 104/2 what amp do I need to drive them? Having owned the 104.2 for some 5 years now, I wouldnt call them particularly picky. Like most good designs they do respond to better amplification, but, as your experience shows, they will sound decent with even mediocre amplification. Ive run ... | |
| Jolida JD100A Reliability I've owned one since they first came out some 3 or 4 years ago (can't remember exactly when I brought it home) and have never had a problem. Plays CD-Rs burned on all sorts of media using all sorts of burners and programs over the years. | |
| Epos Vs. Neat congrats. Where did you end up getting them? | |
| Epos Vs. Neat There are several things to consider other than simply choosing speaker A or B. What equipment were driving the Epos and Neats? Were they similar to your setup? The Neats may sound great with a hi-end Naim system, but vastly different with yours. ... | |
| Quad L22 or Castle Cornway to replace B&W N805 I've followed several of these threads with great interest. Vaystream, have you heard the 22L? I seem to recall an older post on AA where you stated you hadn't. | |
| Looking for speakers less than 1500 used or new First of all, you'll probably have to temper your expectations. Any speakers in the $1500 range is going to have some compromises. With that being said, there are a few that I've tried that might fit the bill. Take a look at either the Spendor S5e... | |
