Best integrated for rock music under $1,500?
rnm4, suicaine lists 2 small monitors that go to 45 and 50hz. true $1500 COULD buy great sensitive floorstanders and maybe the 50wpc nait would power them. i have a nad 372 150wpc (170 according to manual) that would do the job and it is built lik... 
Best integrated for rock music under $1,500?
did i say that rnm4? i do not even know the nait5i and 50hz stuff? and full range spkrs? and all the rest of this stuff. my post was not assuming anything about speakers of any price fwiw. i honor your exp. with subs but for rock and roll i was me... 
Best integrated for rock music under $1,500?
all due respect to rnm4... for your musical tastes i don't think subs need be a'nightmare' down the road. imo i think bass drum slam is perfect for subs and rock of that vintage does not contain a lot of 'nuanced' extreme low end sonics beyond bas... 
Best integrated for rock music under $1,500?
ask NAD techs. which pieces they consider best build models past to present, google it. fwiw, i've owned variuos nad int. and they all had minor diffs but this new 'hi end' line mentioned above sounds intrigueing. they offer lots of down road capa... 
Efficient Dynamic Speaker with low-end punch?
let's get real my rocker friend! ditch the little amp and replace it with more power and get some real rock and roll speakers. $4K is plenty of $ to find a great combo from dozens of product lines. imo that nice little amp is holding you back from... 
Jolida 502A - Other owners, what speakers?
i use a 502B modded and do not know if there is much diff between 502A. same 60 wpc. fwiw tho, i use meadowlark kestrel 2's. at 89db and 'stable' ohm resistance i think they are a very good match. have to find used as m-lark is defunct but drivers... 
Oppo 981 redbook sound
i own a nad cdp and this oppo. in my system the nad outperforms it with rb. better bass and overall quality. but the dual lasers and universal capabilities of oppo make it a great backup as cdp cannot read all formats at full potential and certain... 
will the day come when?
i'm not convinced most a goners prefer hd approach tho. when i listen to music i do nothing else really. i enjoy the ritual and try to replicate a live musical event in my listening space. as noted earlier, pc generation and MOST people listen to ... 
How good are "Oppo" players?
i just got mine and it is pretty darn good! slightly inferior in bass mangmnt on its own compared to my NAD with DAC. but the NAD only has one laser so cannot do full justice to dual layer and true dsd sacd's. may mod it as many say it can be kill... 
Is HDCD dead?
Chazro, does this player have the output to connect to a DAC as well. you have given me an extremely helpful piece of information. thanks! 
Is HDCD dead?
my NAD plays hdcd but are there units that can also play the dual layer and sacd formats as well? the dual layer requires 2 lasers i believe and hdcd requires only 1. i want an inexpesive unit that will play all types at full benefit. fwiw, the xr... 
Help My Krell amp is too big.
as a builder i suggest you talk to your contractor. even if the cabinet is finished and installed he should STILL be able to work out something more than likely. you sound as tho it is not finished however... is there some 'other' reason for wanti... 
Luxman vs. Accuphase
i think i owned that luxman in college in early 80's. if so it finally gave up the ghost 2 yrs ago. fwiw it had a great 'tubey'? sound and put in a lot of hard use and never missed a beat. it drove small b&w's and jbl's mostly. silky smooth co... 
What sounds best integrated or separates?
gregm had it right. the poster wants to know 'what sounds best'. is there really any objective answer to this? design, signal paths, wattage,etc... ad infinitum have nothing to do with it as far as this particular question goes...in my humble opin... 
Speaker Help for McIntosh Tube Equipment
check out used meadowlarks. they get along great with tubes. khorns may be a classic approach to an 'old school' name like mac but imo i do not think you must get ultra hi eff. horns. easy driving 89+ db spkrs should do fine. i hope the fireplace ...
