Finally gonna buy new speakers, ideas?
Thanks so far everyone. A lot of options. Too bad its Sunday today and I can't get started yet. Psgary, thanks for the less expensive option. I have set a limit on price, but boy would I be happy to come in way under it. After many years in this h... 
Aragon Amps
Mondial has historically had wonderful customer service. I can't say enough good things about them. I have had a nearly identical situation as P mmk with my ACT-3 processor. They repaired it (essentially replacing the board) for free on a used pie... 
Best Sub - Rel or Vandersteen
Just a quick note on the REL connections. They do have the high impedance hookup option to go to 2 channel use. I think this is what brampy is talking about not being compatible with HT setups. However, they do also afford the option of RCA connec... 
Best Tuner under 500?
I'll third Woodfield on the FT-11. A great little tuner. If you must have a remote, I would get the Jolida. It runs around 350 new. I had it for a while, but sold it expecting a big improvement with the FT-11. I think I even liked it more than the... 
California electrical shortage audio
As a resident of LA, I think that we all have a responsibility to help in the energy crisis here. I agree with most of the sound related posts that my amps sound harsh at first turn-on and about 95% after around an hour warm up. They still get a l... 
Impulsive audio purchase
Wow Sean! I'm glad you don't live here in LA. The rolling blackouts would never stop! To be serious for a moment, it sounds wonderful. Maybe someday...Todd 
Threshold T200 sound quality?
The T200 is a wonderful amp. I had one for a short while, bought it used and it came with a big dent, so I moved to the Aleph seies. Nelson Pass is a great amp designer, the T200 is a very musical SS amp and has HUGE punch. It drove the heck out o... 
Bose home theatre
Hi Pepolk, I also am not familiar with which specific system you have, but I would doubt that passive subs in general will give you the low end you are looking for - unless you are driving them with large high current amps- from your question I th... 
CDP suggestions for bright system?
I tend to agree with Redkiwi and Sedond's seconding on this one. Neutrality is the ideal goal. That said, you may want to ask yourself this question. "Do I want the best system possible, realizing the cost and effort may be prohibitive, or am I ha... 
Aleph Owners and Users...
I forgot to add. I think the 1.2's were also rated "A" by S'phile. My guess as to why all of them weren't "A" is that either it would be a little unfair to put all 4 amps in that class, or that all of them weren't Class A quality- and please read ... 
Aleph Owners and Users...
I have owned the Aleph 3 and currently am using Aleph 2 monos in my system. I had a period of around 1 month that I spent A/Bing the two in my system (essentially trying to justify the huge jump in price). There is definitey a sonic difference bet... 
Preamp HELP!!! for Pass Aleph 3
I have had an excellent match with a Muse Model 3 pre for my Aleph 2's. Mine is the one without the additional power supply. They are new around 2k, but used in the 800-900 range. I used to own an Aleph 3 and "upgraded" to the monos. I am not sure... 
Who R U?
Hi, This was a great idea. My real name is Todd, I am 31, recently moved to LA for work. I think I can trace my audio habits back to junior high when I like many of you out there saved up all my money for a few months and went down to Sears for an... 
Comments on the Muse Model 3
Wonderful preamp. I have owned a Model 3 for around 2 yrs now and can say I am tremendously happy with it. It is, in addition, an incredible bargain. I bought mine for just under 900 used. Usually you can find them for less now. I do not have the ... 
"Feng Shui" and "Floobie Dust"
First off, I would like to thank Redkiwi for exhibiting a good dose of common sense. So often in this hobby (obsession?) we get so tied up in numbers and worse- other people's opinions that we forget the reason why we started this thing in the fir...
