| Vandersteen 1 in the nearfield, for rock music? Please forgive me if I'm jumping ahead of Bond here. The DCM's had similar goals as the Vandersteen's, but Vandersteen comes much closer to hitting the bullseye. | |
| SF Power 1s with Thiel CS 2.3s Enuf Pwr? "Power 1 has only 55 Watts but it is a Tube Amp." There is a mistaken idea that tube watts are louder than ss watts. This just isn't true. Furthermore, into low impedance loads like the Thiels, the opposite is more more likely to be the case. I su... | |
| Anyone catch what's goin' on at Tweeter?..deals? I've had nothing but bad luck dealing with "liquidators". | |

| GMA callisto vs vmps rm 30 I'm guessing that for the kind of music you prefer the VMPS's would work best. I'd probably choose the GMA's for myself. | |
| Into 2009; What rules?? Tubes or Solid State Speakers rule, amps serve. | |
| Magnavox FD 204 CD Player Move on, it's not worth it. | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? FWIW, I find the Wilson's to be more dynamic, but the Thiels more linear and coherent. | |
| Wilson better than Thiels? Vegasears, VTL 300's should be very nice indeed. Unless one listens to a very narrow range of music, in a small room, at low listening levels, puny SET's neeed not apply.Sanji, true the Thiels need quality first, but, more of it will be more rewar... | |
| B&K ST-202 and St-202+ model differences? I believe the "+" model was B&K's "high current" version. |
