| Small Room Your room is sized a lot like my second listening room, so our problems are similar. My own solution is quite different from yours, but I didn't start out with six-foot high panel speakers with 10-inch woofers.As you know, electrostatic panels are... | |
| Budget bookshelf system for acoustic bass The Classik is rated at 75W into 4 ohms and half that into 8 ohms. Linn doesn't make a point of mentioning that, perhaps because all their speakers are 4 ohm rated. But a great many good speakers are rated at 8.35 watts into 8 ohms is not a bad fi... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone he did turn it WAAAAY down. Lucky I didn't get shot in the faceHah ! Bet the other guy felt the same way !I'm glad you showed how you felt. It is not compassionate to blast your car system (and not compassionate either to build systems for sale th... | |
| Budget bookshelf system for acoustic bass I like the Vandersteen 2W suggestion. It's reputed to be very discreet and musical.Your Classik won't drive Totems and certainly not the Mani-2's, which do indeed have great bass for any speaker and amazing bass for monitors.I don't believe the B&... | |
| Value Powerhouse SS amp I vote for the Classé 25. Have heard good things about Belles and Gamut too. Good luck ! | |
| Isolation Transformers Thanks much for the link, George. Knowing about this source, I feel much more comfortable planning this upgrade to my AC line.There is one piece of info which would make me even happier if I had it. My present Topaz tranny has a capacitance rating... | |
| Triangle Speakers - Any comments on new series? I helped my dad buy a pair of Titus ES a week or so ago. I was very impressed with them. Lovely soundstage, the box pretty much disappeared. Airy, fast, dynamic, with a smooth rich midrange. Very high-class monitor IMO, can take equipment costing ... | |
| Isolation Transformers In build quality and performance, there is a considerable difference between the OneAc unit I bought on eBay and the Topaz I also found there. If OneAcs are cheaper than Topazes for similar capacity, I feel it is for a good reason.They both made a... | |
| NAD vs Cambridge audio vs Music hall Oh dear, I'm going to disagree with Hammergjh. I compared the Cambridge and NAD models you mention and came away with a clear preference for the NAD. I was happy about this, because it left me with more cash for a source or for music.(BTW, my pref... | |
| Opinions: Neuance Shelf for Linn Sondek Lp12 TT That'a a great response from Lugnut. Cleared up a few points for me, like the lower limit of the vibration control of my LP12's suspension. Thanks Pat!Just to add my 2 cents... a wall shelf is one of the best ways to mount a suspended TT, IF the w... | |
| About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone All you've gotten from the posts here, Pat, you've given it back in spades. "Our House" started going through my head as I read... I can imagine the place you describe, or one like it. What a pleasure. Thanks for that, and for all the rest. Just..... | |
| Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500 The Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 SE. It is musically involving. Rivals much more expensive speakers on that score. Can use a very good front end because it does highs so well. | |
| is it an upgrade or just fun? It's fun to try new stuff, for sure, but for myself I find it too nervewracking to change my main system frequently. My system has been stable for some time. I've heard better speakers, I know my cart could use a better arm, but even so I'm hesita... | |
| Help...Need a New Amp There's a nice-looking OCM (Belles) listed just now... wish I had room for it... | |
| smaller speaker suggestions Thanks for the update, Hbarrel. It's great to hear about lesser-known units, and I'm glad these suit you. If I ever get a chance to hear the Arcs, I'll be sure to take it. |
