| Sim I3, I5 or Music Fidelity A3.5, 5 with Dyn 140 I had a pair of 140's. I first used a Musical fidelity a3.2 integrated. It was rather weak. I then went to a MF a308 integrated. That was a tremendous improvement; all the power the 140's needed. I listened to the a3.5 and a5 at a dealer. Of those... | |
| Best speaker for small room? In my small bedroom system (9x12) I tried Dynaudio Audience (very good); then Vienna Acoustic Haydn Grand (better yet); then Totem Model 1 Signature (very satisfied, no longer looking for anything else). | |

| It's Hammond B3 Organ Day For some very enjoyable Hammond organ pick up Steve Winwood's new release, "Nine Lives". | |
| Best power solution for Plinius 9200 When I had a Plinius 8200 MKll I ran a dedicated 10 gauge grounded circuit from the house fuse box to a quality outlet and used a Signal Cable power cable. The difference was phenomenal. No power conditioner, just a happily fed amp that delivered ... | |
| Anyone hear the new Totem "The One" vs Mani 2 sig According to Stereophile website the cost is $3,500. I once had a pair of Model One Signature's. They were too small for my room. They imaged extremely well and had other desirable characteristics. When I saw The One promoted on Totem's I had the ... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand I recently bought a pair of VA Haydn Grands for my bedroom system (room size- 9'x12'). While deciding what integrated amp to use I took my Plinius 8200 mk 11 from my living room system and hooked it up to the Haydn's. I listen primarily to classic... | |
| Integrated for Vienna Acoustics Haydn I listened to the Rogue Cronus with the Haydn's at a dealer. I am going to assume that it is not too far from the Prima Luna in terms of power and sonics. I was not too impressed. I guess I like the power/ punch of ss with the speakers. I was seri... | |
| $1500 bookshelf speakers with laid-back highs? Dynaudio Focus 110 or 140 | |
| Where to get protective cups for under spikes? I agree with Davemitchell, use quarters. First I used a 3/16" drill bit to put a small crater in each of eight quarters (for the spike point to ride in). I then glued the quarters to a piece of leather. After cutting out the quarters/ leather piec... | |
| YOUR Favorite Bookshelf/Monitor below $500 Look for a used pair of Dynaudio Audience 42's. It perfectly fulfills your request of "the kind where you... cannot believe that is coming from that small speaker". A used pair will fall within your budget. | |
| Your First Concert was..... Joe Walsh and James Gang for openers, followed by REO Speedwagon. | |
| Best integrates for Totem Model-1 When I had my Model 1 Signatures I used a Plinius 8200 mk ii. Very pleasant combination. I see there is one currently in the classified; no connection to me. | |
| Speaker recommendations for NAD Paradigm Studio 20 v.3, front ported should sound good. I had a pair of Studio 40 v.3's with NAD. It was a good match for the price point. You should easily find a pair used within your budget. | |
| Replacement integrated amp At one time I had a MF a308 integrated. I thought about an a5, and after listening to it at a dealer I liked the a308 better. I then went to a Plinius 8200 mkII. To my ears the Plinius is better; greater detail, imaging, and smoothe.If you are pat... |
