HZ.....How low for full range music???
Here is a website with information that may be interesting to you. It is from TNT and describes instruments and their frequency range, as well as their volume. http://www.tnt-audio.com/topics/frequency_e.htmlIt is surprising to most that the conce... 
center channel recomendations
Is it possible to purchase or find one d-700? I find that for the center channel it is best to use the identical one as the main fronts. Audiogon? eBay? Good luck! 
suggestions for a headphone amplifier
I use the Senn 650s with an Antique Sound Lab headphone amp. They are quality and give the Senns a very nice sound for long periods. Good luck. 
What sub for Audience 52's
I am using a Hsu VTF-3 Mark II with Dynaudio 70s. It is a great sub in a large room. This is a home theater setup. I actually like my REL Q108E with Von Schweikert VR-1s better. That room is for stereo only and is smaller, similar to yours. The Hs... 
Good musical speakers that go low? Help
I agree with the Von Schweikerts. I also like the sound of Dynaudios depending on how much money you can spend. With their floor standers you will not need a sub, especially if they are only for music (excepting pipe organs and such). Of course if... 
Dynaudio or Green Mountain Europa's
I love my Dynaudios. I have the 70s. I have heard the 52s and I love the Dynaudio sound. I would buy them again in a second. I have not heard the Europas. I have heard the Dyns with the Arcam, but I am driving mine with an Aragon/Outlaw rig. Does ... 
Room size
To me the important question is how loud do you play and how close do you want to be from the speakers. Moving the speakers out from the back wall you will find the optimum distance for spatial imaging. Then you can determine how far away from the... 
Best Speakers below $1000 for my needs
Dynaudios. You can listen to them for hours of great enjoyment and still want more. Its the tweeter and mid-range quality. Good luck. 
Musical Fidelity 3.2 or Creek 5350se for MA S2 ?
I have not compared these exact two amplifiers. This Stereophile review may help:http://stereophile.com/loudspeakerreviews/907/Those speakers were demonstrated with Music Fidelity.Also, I am running my Von Schweikert VR-1s with a Creek 5350se and ... 
Von Schweikert Subwoofers
I have not heard the VRS1 since I don't have a dealer in my area. I am using the REL Q108E in a 2 channel with the VR-1s. You might talk to Primus Audio Pleasures in Kansas City. They carry both and are very honest. It will depend heavily on your ... 
Dynaudio Audience 52's for front channels .
I have the Audience 70 floor standers and have listened extensively to the 52s. I love my Dyns. I just bought a pair of Von Schweikert VR-1s for another system in a small room. They passed the WAF die to their beautiful finish and they sit in a bo... 
Subwoofer LFE or .1 Cable choices?
I have had good sound from the Better Cables Silver Serpent and not that expensive. 
Your First Hi-Fi Hankering?
Sony reel-to-reel with Radio Shack headphones. Graduated to a Radio Shack amplifier and Advent One speakers, then, finally, to Crown electronics with the Advents and Tecnics TT. I was in heaven! (for awhile!) 
B&W speakers for Rotel separates?
He popped for an in-wall bulk Audioquest because he ran it under the floor crawl space (150 year old house) and up through the floor, about a 25 foot run each side. We made sure he stayed away from the electrical lines as much as possible. No pret... 
B&W speakers for Rotel separates?
I helped a friend with his system and he started from scratch. He bought the system that you are listening to, and it is a great combination of strengths. It is clear without being bright, plenty of clean power and, I think, great components for t...
