| Looking for recommendations for a pair of full range speakers for ~8k or under Try and audition a pair of Legacy Signature SE speakers. | |
| Anybody using studio near-fields Mini monitors as home minis? I use ATC SCM20ASL Pro Mk II active speakers in my studio. I could live happily with them in any of my listening rooms. Would probably want to add subs though. | |
| ATC Scm 19 V1 Upgrade or what? The SCM40 will work fine in your room assuming have the time, patience and skills to properly set up speakers and listening position.Jim Smith's Get Better Sound book is a great guide. | |
| New turntable: TW or Obama? Consider an SME turntable for your excellent Series 5 arm. | |

| ATC Scm 19 V1 Upgrade or what? I would move up to the passive 40, a big improvement over the 19 (either version).Yes, plenty of power, a great match.The pro active 20 is roughly the same price as the passive 40. Since you already have ATC amplification, the 40 will give you mor... | |

| Which amplifier should i buy I agree with the others regarding Coda. Even though you have a preference for tubes (I have also for most of my life), try to audition the Coda No 16 amplifier. I think in this very recent review, the reviewer nails it; the best of solid state cou... | |
| Bang for the buck vs. “money no object” cable recommendations WireWorld for neutrality. | |
| Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase. I believe your room is too small for the Aeris and probably too small for the Focus SE. I think the Signature SE would be ideal. | |
| Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase. I would own the Aeris/Wavelet if I had a large enough room. I've had the Focus XD/Wavelet in my main room (driving the mid/treble with either Manley tube monos or Coda solid state) and it was one of the best sounding systems I've had in my home. T... | |
