| Bloated speakers/weight wise I only weight 160 but if there were a flood I'd get those things up the stairs! Moving them around the room is actually very easy on my carpet. | |
| Bloated speakers/weight wise Vmps RM 40's at 260lbs each. They are not too heavy. I'm not even sure what too heavy for a speaker is. I'd rather have a heavy speaker as they tend to be able to reproduce more life like realism. A smaller speaker usually won't handle as much pow... | |
| I love this hobby- If you're happy listening to music that's all that matters. Glad someone enjoys the music more than the gear. | |
| Best used amp in the $1500 range If you want a kick ass killer amp try an AVA Fetvalve amp. They're rarely for sale used though but for a few hundred more you could get a new one.I've had numerous amps in front of my Vmps RM 40's and this amp is better and it's not like you have ... | |
| Full-range Floorstanders: Can you recommend? I have to qualify this because I became a dealer for Vmps last year. I've owned Vmps speakers since 1996 though and that is what is in my main listening room, RM 40's. It's the only thing I sell and actually I don't sell them, they sell themselves... | |
| What happens when the Wife cleans the audio room Being as nobody will go near my stuff anyway I don't have to worry about it. That's the way I like it. It's much more relaxing to not have to worry about someone else doing damage like spraying something onto components or moving/disconnecting any... | |
| To seal or not to seal ... Unless the sound escaping from the 6" opening will disturb someone I'd leave it there. It seems that it would be good if you could get rid of some of the reflections in that room.A square room is a problem as it will magnify the room modes. This w... | |
| Which Multimeter for newbie. That's a great idea Entrope! I should replace my cheapie Radio Shack meter. | |
| Rotel RCD 1072 verus Channel Islands VDA2 DAC If you get the Channel Island VDA 2 you won't need another dac for a very long time. The design and build quality are excellent and at 600 dollars a super deal. I'm sure Dusty will give you a trial on his new dac. You may want to buy one before th... | |
| Marantz 8260 CD/SACD I bought one the middle of last year hoping the issues would be fixed. Brand new problems out of the box. Very slow read times and disc errors galore. I just bought a new transport and stayed with Sony ES as Marantz gives me the willies now. I nev... | |
| What's wrong with a DVD player as a transport? Personally I can't hear anything missing. I've been using an inexpensive Sony DVD changer as a transport into a Bel Canto DAC 1.1. I'm moving this player into our HT system and am replacing it with a Sony Dvpnc 555es as a transport. This player al... | |
| Replace my LLano? Van Alstine 550 is 2,200, 250wpc doubles into four ohms. | |
| In search of more power ... MF? V Alstine? Best of luck. I just bought the one from gongos that was listed here. I actually recommend he try one but it was too expensive for him to keep. The way he describes the sound is like tonyptony. It's better than either. The reason I bought it is be... | |
| Best power amp for under 1K A Rotel 991 or 1080 would be on my short list. These are excellent SS amps. You can get the 991 for under 600 and the 1080 for about 700. A Parasound HCA 1500A will also do the job for under 600 bucks. All these amps are well designed and reliable... | |
| marantz sa8260 or sa14? I agree with the above comments regarding the SA8260. It's great sounding but slow to read and often won't read. I'm now using a dvd player as a transport. The Sony reads anything everytime and is way faster. What's amazing is it cost waaayyyy les... |
