Want speakers for 700 but none sound good.
Pran did you try researching the previous threads here on Audiogon. There are ton's of great suggestions, and you can draw your own conclusions. 
The best CD Player for the money
Khenny i'm glad you posted a report on the new Prima, i've heard the Cary and was not impressed, in spite of the rave reviews on the unit. I'm after the Vecteur trans + which DAC? 
I need advice on Lowthers
If you've got enough power to drive a rel sub then here's what i have in mind. Check out the "kits" on various web pages. I have a low power (40 watt Jadis) and am designing a Seas W22 + Seas W12CY + Philips RT8P. I considered going single source ... 
What's the best mid-range driver available?
Atc may make the "best" mid/driver..but can't buy it separately and way too expensive speakers. So now they are ruled out our 2 contenders are Skaaning 4 or 5 inch( 80hz-2500hz) and the Seas W12CY or W15CY (80hz-3500hz). And i wonder just HOW much... 
How good are VMPS RM-40?
John, what they are refering to are ribbons. VMPS uses a ribbon called Silver Flute, or something like it , they retail for like $30 each. You get like 4 mid + 2 tweet ribbons = 6 ribbons per cabinet + 2 8 inch woofers per cabinet. So they are hyb... 
What is the right thing here................
Porsch, does the 601's in reference have a 15 inch woofer? If so , i find it hard to believe they are blown??? I have 20 yr. old speakers with a 8 inch woofer and still works fine. Yes let this guy take it to a B&W repair center and have a let... 
What is the right thing here................
Hummm..I don't know what this guy's game is but if you feel confident that you sent him good quality speakers (ie. not on the verge of a "blown woofer") then i would let him sweat it out a bit. Let him huff and puff. But like Sean says you may fin... 
SEAS Thor Speaker / NCMS Rhythm 9500 Unlimited
Bryhifi i just read a thread on madisound about the Thors..they say its a disappearing speaker sound..and has great bass and beautiful mids..i have the Seas W22 woofers are they are of superior craftmanship. I would say this is possibly the "best"...

What's the best 7" & 8" woofers available?
Mike please explain your post a little further.."sick"??? the 4 1/2 inch is the one i may buy or the Skaaning 4 can you tell me about these 2 drivers..i've heard that the Skaans are of "old" tech and are way overpriced. Then i heard they are well ... 
What's the best 7" & 8" woofers available?
Mike do you think the Scanspeak W18 will challenge the bass produced by a Seas W22? I just got my Seas W22 in. They seem to be super high tech. The midrange of this solid copper phase plug driver is supposed to be outstanding. 
JADIS DIGITAL..can find no reviews..anybody????
I'm sure it's nice sound. I'm hoping to find some used on the gon.However the new Vecteur D-2 is possibly within my budget + a used Jadis dac. Thanks for your help.
