| My speaker quest You might try to hear the Vienna Acoustic Liszts. Speaking as a ProAc and PMC owner, I liked them a lot. | |
| Opening a can of worms What this does is call into question the notion of the "sweet spot", at least as far as cables are concerned. No, not your listening chair, but rather the price point in the "family" of products where performance and price are best balanced.If yo... | |
| stereo receiver recommendations Magnum Dynalab have five models. | |
| Please suggest bookshelf with best bass response under $4000 pr. The Totem Mani-2 used to have the most impressive bass I've heard out of a monitor-sized box.None of their current stand-mount options are specified below 40 Hz. | |
| Switching to solid state amp? I ran an Ayre AX-7 for a while. When I inserted a Rogue CMII into the system, the Ayre got relegated to the secondary system. | |
| $3000 Speaker Search Given your preferences, I recommend you try and listen also to Vienna Acoustics Beethoven Baby Grands. There's something very special about that model. | |
| Come on people....BASS! Good one.Rouge gear gets it's rendering of the base timber just rite. | |

| $3000 Speaker Search ProAc Studios, or look at Silverline for even more efficient and sweet-sounding speakers. | |

| Switching to solid state amp? From Cary I switched to Ayre, which is supposed to be pretty sweet-sounding, but here I am back with Rogue. YMMV. | |
| Help me narrow down some speaker choices I'd try to listen to the upper echelons of Vandersteen and ProAc. Both have excellent tweeters. | |
| What makes you build a system around an amplifier? I did it once. The Cary 300B pure class A SET amp was the reason, as with others here. Bought when Denis Had was still running things. Paired with ProAc Response 2.5s. Dennis H was reliably reported to voice his amps with ProAcs back then. Th... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? This makes no sense. In one thread audiozen is bashing Tekton. Then he's agonizing over whether to get the Enzo XLs or not. But here he's strongly urging other people to go ahead and make the purchase. This kind of recommendation I can do with... |
