Nov 03, 2009	Pass Labs X250 meter failure This is exactly why I never liked the meters. Superperfluous parts leading to added intitial purchase cost and later on potential added expense for repair. Never mind the inherent distraction the meters bring into ones listening room/home theatre.
Nov 02, 2009	SET the best? Breuninger, Wow! My sentiments exactly. Well said.
Nov 02, 2009	Bass rant All good points above, and sure 80% of all the msuic is in the midrange, but I am often shocked that many very expensive speakers can't produce all the music on the recordings. I also happen to like extended treble, but without sufficient bass out...
Nov 02, 2009	Speakers for Rock Music Good reccomendations above, perhaps Buggtussel too.

Oct 16, 2009	Tone controls? Sorry about the heresy. I don't know if they're excellent, but Quad's pres have unique tone controls.
Oct 15, 2009	Recommendation of a good nearfield speaker "Less power, less noise, more music. Make sense?" Not really, high sensitivity speakers are prone to let more noise in and through. Why would there be more music? Low powered amps (500 mW) will have less headroom and will probably clip sooner. Man...
Oct 11, 2009	What's best amp for around $2000.00? Hey folks, Tvad's right (well mostly) without knowing the speakers it's impossible to say.
Oct 10, 2009	Passive Preamps I've used both, to date I've come to slightly prefer active. Amongst the best passive systems I've heard were those that used the much under appreciated Reference Line pre's and amps. I would certainly consider using a passive pre in the future. H...
