| Silverline Speaker Opinion Ghosthouse,Great info, thanks. I feel pretty safe buying blind sometimes - no hifi dealers near me in Arkansas, unfortunately.Some of your descriptions match how I feel about the Minuets. I tried to explain to an audio buddy today how they sound, ... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Thanks, Ghosthouse, glad you are enjoying them. If they are like the tiny Minuets, I bet they are awesome!I keep an eye out for the Prelude and Plus, and Newbee recommended adding some other models to the list.Maybe due to time on the market, I se... | |
| Silverline Speaker Opinion Newbee,Thanks for the info. I wondered if the Prelude and Prelude Plus would be more of the same. Not any dealers close, unfortunately. May have to plan a mini vacation/ audition. Of course I'll keep an eye out on here. I'm much more willing to ta... | |
| My Musical Fidelity amp died..What's next? I own the Anthem 225 and it easily drives my speakers (none are super power hungry) and sounds great, IMO. I went to the Anthem to simplify my setup and have been happy. May be worth an audition if you have access.Best.Gary | |
| Bowers and Wilkerson B&W 802 D3: an impolite Brit? Forgive me being non-technical, but isn't it just a matter of taste?

| Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning I'll check out the App Store, thanks for the heads up!I rearranged my listening room and am trying different speaker positions. Currently the speakers are 6-7' apart, which is less than 'normal', and I'm enjoying the change. Any tools that make th... | |
| Advice on using a laser for speaker positioning Thanks everybody, sounds like opinions are mixed and the laser may be more useful for rake, angles, etc than for measuring distance.The redhead will probably have me doing something around the house that will give me an excuse to pick one up and t... | |
| Magnet Wire Question For anybody interested, I made the 14 ga magnet wire cables today- sounds good to me...I posted details in the cable section earlier, may take a while to show up.Thanks for your help- | |
| Anthem Integrated 225 -opinions I own the Anthem and like it. However I'm curious about other gear like Exposure, Simaudio, etc. My previous setup was a Sonic Frontiers Line 1 preamp and Monarchy mono block amplifiers. With that said, I like the simplicity of an integrated and w... | |
| some of the best speaker cables under $250 Fwiw, I made some cables out of 14ga Magnet Wire today. I posted earlier in the cable section regarding details.Bottom line, it sounds really good to me. The cost is minimal, and when I listened earlier, I didn't feel I was missing anything. Maybe... | |
