| What is your favorite ''slow dance'' song of all time? My idea of a slow dance may be a bit different that other Agon members, but I thought I'd add my 2 cents. My wife and I are serious amateur ballroom dancers and for us a 'slow dance' is a slow foxtrot. One of my favorites is Peggy Lee's "Fever."... | |
| A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer. I'd like to suggest a more systematic approach to answer your question, because the direct response is, indeed, "it depends." As someone wrote early in this thread, the answer to your question is not independent of your current audio system (comp... | |
| used speaker recommendations I thought I would let everyone on this thread know that I picked up a pair of Jade 3s and am very pleased with them. At some point I will audition the Harbeth P3ESRs, but the Jade 3s are just fine for now. Thanks very much for all the comments a... | |

| used speaker recommendations I find it very interesting to figure out at each step what the weakest link is in my stereo, and then assess the options for addressing it. I have to say that I started using the Bluesound DAC, then got a Pangea coax to bypass it and rely on the ... | |
| used speaker recommendations I will keep an eye out for the Harbeth in case a more reasonably priced pair come on the market, but for now there is a Spendor 3/5 available for $550. That seems like a no-brainer. Many thanks. This is just the advice I was hoping for. | |
| used speaker recommendations By the way, she got to pick the fabric covering the tube and panels. That helped. | |
| used speaker recommendations table jockey, perhaps I am underestimating my better half. Narrow floorstanders might pass muster, but when she surprised me by agreeing to the tube traps I did not want to push my luck.Any recommendations for floorstanders? Thanks. |
