| Delima I agree with Mr hosehead. I've tried several monitors and keep going back to floorstanders. The floorstander don't take up any more room than monitors on stands. They also don't cost more after you pay for the stands. Synergy with other speakers i... | |
| Pls advise on budget integrated or pre/power comb. I owned both the Audio Refinement Complete integrated and the Audio Refinement Complete Alpha CD player a while ago. When I sold the amp reget was immediate. It had a very smooth sound and was a joy to use; a real quality product. The cd player ho... | |
| Best cheap integrated for Ascend CBM-170's. In your price range for used you should investigate the Audio Refinement Complete. Smooth sounding amp with nice build quality | |
| Where is Your Turntable? In my daughter's room (temporarily) -- she thinks vinyl is cool. We'll see how long it lasts. | |
| Thiel CS 1.5 vs Linn Katan No experience with the Linn Katans but I did own the Thiels for a while. On the plus side, the Thiels are attractive, one of the few speakers my wife liked, and very easy to place. They are extremely detailed. One of those speakers people will say... | |
| Best Neil Young Album? After the Gold Rush - or maybe it's the memories this album conjures up. Live Rust comes in number two even without the memories. | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? Concur with Tobias. I owned the 2CE Signatures but they were just too imposing on the room. Went with the Shearwater Hot Rods and am very pleased. The sloped baffle helps them blend in to the room visually. Be sure to try them with grills on and o... | |
| Help upgrading NHT SB3s I owned the SB-3s, Audience 50s and VR1s mentioned by Bignerd100. The Dynaudios were the only pair of the three the didn't seem to need a sub. I would add Acoustic Energy AE-300s (discontinued but cheap used) or the new Aelite 2s to your list. The... | |
| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen After 35 years or so at this "hobby" I went crazy when I first discovered Audiogon. It was great fun trying out new gear every few weeks. Things I thought I'd never buy such as DACs and $200 (list price) interconnects were in and out of my system.... | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it Moe, No Doy. Put that ov this morning until my sister called and said she was coming over. | |
| Speaker advise needed Upstate NY? You might check Meadowlark Audio speakers. I own both the Kestrel Hot Rods and the Shearwater HRs and love them both. They have a very distinctively different sound though so audition is a good idea unless the used price is too good to... | |
| Norah Jones? Norah Jones is oneof those I just don't get. If she comes on while I'm driving I have to turn her off as she is instant nap time. Seriously, I could not keepmy eyes open through her first release. | |
| Music you didn't like at first... but now? This happens all the time but I distinctly remember the first time. It was Bruce Springsteen's, The Wild the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle. I was stationed in Thailand and bought this album. We would sit around the barracks/hut listening to mu... | |
| New room/ need new speakers I have a small listening room and went the monitor route trying probably ten different speakers over the past two years. My favorites were the Acoustic Energy AE-300s closely followed by the Von Schweikert VR-1s. NHT SB-3s weren't bad either. I fi... | |
| Good timing for me. If the 2Cs aren't too large for your listening space I'm going to recommend Paradigm Studio 100 V.2 or 3s. Those speakers are great for rock music.Please answer this question. What do you mean by using the Vandys nude? I am looking for a pair of 2... |
