| How to match HT speakers with existing speakers? The rears are not as important as the center channel, depending of course on what type of surround decoding you are using. I'd look for another Celestion to match your A-1's. I'd contact Celestion on the matter and see what they say. Ideally you w... | |
| Phono preamp suggestions... I agree with Franks. The EAR 834P is the best phono stage I've owned in your price range and I've had several over the years. | |
| Aerial Speakers for Music and HT In response to Keriadums post, I could not disagree more. At first I wasn't sure if this was a serious post! To suggest that a full blown Aerial system (10t, Active sub, top line center and rears) is not up to the task of anything Hollywood has to... | |
| Power cable upgrades, or Power conditioner? Tim...you did not mention what your system consists of. If you are finding your system to be fatiquing I would suggest you look at your system components and how well they complement each other before looking at power conditioners and cords. While... | |
| BEL 1001 amp...does it deserve the hype? I own a pair of BEL 1001 MK IIIa amps, which I use bridged mono to drive Aerial 10t loudspeakers. Yes, Tom Miiller and others have been raving about them for years (at least since the MK II versions). Do they deserve hype? I would say so from my e... | |
| I don,t Understand ???? At the risk of repeating what others have perhaps already said above, I think we all understand quite clearly what's going on with cable companies. It's greed. The mark-up on some cables is in excess of 1000% (or even 3 or 4000%). The manufacturin... | |
| Good Stuff Cheap Classe 70 amp. Very musical, beautifully built, and will drive all but the most demanding loads. Usually goes for around $500. | |
| HiFi is an opinion - nothing more Larry...please, give us a break here. I think you just have nothing better to do than try to get a rise out of others. Do you really think any of us really believe that we can reproduce the sound of live musical instruments with audio equipment? I... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Garfish...sorry to have offended. You obviously hold Trelja in very high esteem and feel the need to come to his defense. But you miss my point. I have been a serious audiophile for 25 years and I do not see the value of threads like this. That's ... | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword Trelja...really what is the point in threads like this? You have clearly stated that you have moved on in other directions and even state that you don't even think about Krell anymore. This thread seems a bit of a contradiction as you obviously do... | |
| Do I have to buy all new CDs? Unfortunately there is no easy answer to your question. If you are a music lover first, the audio system is only a means to an end, and you are always going to be stuck with bad sounding software whether it is in the digital or analog format. The ... | |
| Aerial 10t vs B&W 802 I have had the B&W 802's in my home for audition, but I prefer the sound of Aerial. I purchased the 10t for my audio only system 5 years ago and could not be more happy. For my second system used for home theatre and music I went with the Aeri... | |
| Aerial 10 T vs Aerial 8 B The 10t is in another league compared to the 8b and can often be had used for less than the price of the 8b. I've owned 10t's for 5 years and continue to believe it is one of the best values in high end speakers. | |
| Need a good tuner and there aren't many? I have a McIntosh MR-78 available for sale if you are interested. It is universally considered to be one of the top 3 tuners ever made and when you hear it you'll know why. They really are exceptional in all respects. I've recently moved to a rura... | |
| Integrated Amps vs. Separates. If your budget is limited I would suggest you still go with seperates, but take advantage of some of the great buys to be found on sites such as Audiogon. There is some really wonderful used gear to be had for cheap that is no longer the latest an... |
