| Please recommend speakers @carlsbad , even if on stands. Bookshelve speakers do sound good, but towers sound better. I driven many bookshelves beyond the new models with my ML 27, Yamaha MX-1000 or MX-1, as the volume gets higher those speakers are hitting their limits. ... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? No difference in $100 DIY cable. Its the hype and belief. | |
| Please recommend speakers Like @carlsbad said, all bookshelf have their limitations. Once you hear floorstanding, its non comparable. I say for $800 price range, KEF LS50 is a good value on the used market I've owned LS50, B&W 805, Klipsch RP600, Elac Unifi UB5, Em... | |

| Sound System on $10K Budget Good size room. Bookshelfs will work not just floor stand speakers. Stay with my rule: 40% = speakers 30% = amp 20% = source 10% = preamp Cables mean nothing. Those people paying 1k on wires and stuff is silly. My favorite system is the NA... | |

| Still happily using vintage gear? Yamaha MX1, MX-1000, NAD2200 sound as good as any equipment built today with Nautilus 803 made in the 90s. And did I say MX-1000 still looks so sexy at 240wpc, 2ohm stable. :) | |
| Thank you Covid19 for getting me back into this expensive hobby! @ douglas_schroeder3, not the same. one can only know through experience. seeking better on expensive stuff doesn't mean its better. people buying 3k speaker wires or 5k transport are in their own league. I heard system that cost over 30k, an... | |
| Thank you Covid19 for getting me back into this expensive hobby! @doyle3433 glad I'm not the only one, now I want a new amp. Rotel RB1582mkii or 1590, or the Yamaha AS3200. At least when I look back during this crazy time... I'll call in the pandemic craziness. LOL | |

| Kef LS50 Great little speaker, good dynamics. I like the ELAC Unifi UB5 more.Can we say they look good too: get a color thats nots gold and black. I got the white with blue drivers.I push them with the following gears to test:Preamp: Schiit Freya+, NAD 1... | |
| Has anybody bought or heard a Chinese knock off amplifier? I got one clone like the Acuphase A60 and it will blow your mind away once you listen to it (4 massive caps, 2 large toridial transformer). Remember many high end amps, turntables, and speakers are made in China. Brands like Emotiva, Schiit, Out... |
