| Vandersteen 2ci used. Good speaker/bargain? Very good speaker/ better bargain. I am not familiar with your NAD integrated. Please keep in mind that the Vandersteens drop to 4 Ohms and really benefit from bi-wiring. While the Vandersteens are rather forgiving of electronics make sure your am... | |

| Tube pre-amp with SS Classe Amp The Sonic Frontiers products due to the fact that they are DC coupled, low output impedence (for a tube product) and fully balanced are excellent companions to many solid state amplifiers sharing these design parameters (w/ corresponding low input... | |
| Nothing new under the sun? Improved digital formats, digital upsampling, digital crossovers, digital amplifiers, digital room correction, digital equalization,digital broadcasts, digital recording and digital connections are all new ( in the big scope of things) and excitin... | |
| Audiogon Ethics Perhaps we can all protect ourselves by posting serial numbers on all items listed for sale or auction? This would also monitor items that have mysteriously disappeared. In those cases where someone has had an item refurbished by the factory or ot... | |

| speaker specs & room matching Thanks again Carl. Sorry it took me so long to respond. An excellent idea and one I had not previously considered. | |
| speaker specs & room matching Thanks you Carl_eber for your prompt reply. Can you be more specific. I believe we can smooth out much of the bass irregularities with room treatment, but it is more difficult to remove overloaded bass. We all want as much deep clean bass as possi... | |
| Need FM/AM tuner, suggestions All of the above suggestions are good. It really depends on where you intend to use it. Some tuners have better sensitivity and others better selectivity. Tuners are one of the few components where specs can help you make a better choice. Not that... | |
| What's longest i/c's can be run? If you must run long runs of interconnects and you have the option, balanced is better. Balanced interconnects are used in professional circles for just that reason. More gain, and less likely to act like antennas for the unwanted garbage floating... | |
| Tubes Top End, SS bottom? Alruhl is right on. I have heard those amps on Vandersteen 2C's, and they were quite nice together. Mixing amps can be very tricky. Usually works best with servo sub woofers. Perhaps using more neutral tube amps or warmer solid state amps would be... |
