| Active filter for B&W matrix 800 The JPS Golden Flutes and Maughan Box and Anodyne Acoustics, were replacement eq bass boosters. I'm not sure, but I believe the Krell KBX is an active cross-overhttp://electronics.shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nk... | |
| how close in sound can a tube and ss amp sound ? Orpheus10, no. | |
| Any tube rec's on Vandersteen 5's I've heard the the Vandy 5's sound sublime with Audio Research, albeit more expensive ones than your budget might allow. Still, less expensive AR's might carry over well. | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? Shadorne, I doubt anyone is disagreeing with what you've posted. I think that the use of specific absorbing room treatment can go a long way in adapting to the situation. | |
| Distance from the front not the rear wall? IME, with speakers out from nearby walls (especially sidewalls) and absorbing room treatment behind the close wall to the listener, I enjoy better sound than from other arrangements. | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Soniqmike, before you go spouting off, perhaps you should read all the contents of all of the posts. I agree with most of your points, except sheer performance. No doubt the internet audio can be better, but not always, in fact sometimes it's wors... | |

| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Mapman, that's not the only problem with internet radio. Some stations "broadcast" in low rez. There is a chance that the sound quality could possibly be better via FM. | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? Some interned broadcasts are rather low rez. Some FM broadcasts are low rent. It really depends on where you listen to what through what. The internet provides way more channels to choose from. FM may or may not provide better sound. | |
| A new take on built in room treatments? FWIW, I would prefer to have the speakers backs parallel to the long wall, with absorptive room treatment behind the listener. | |
| FM tuners - Are they OBSOLETE ? I think it depends on whether or not you have local FM stations you like. It's hard to imagine there isn't at least one or two, and IMHO that's enough to warrant further consideration. Now it comes down to whether or not those preferred stations s... | |
| Does 'Accuracy' Matter or exist ? Jax2, No problem, perfectly understandable. | |
