| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? While all NAD gear I own and have owned have been stellar in reliability and sound quality, I do hear of some of their reliability issues. Chris, since you have had great luck with Yamaha, consider their analog line of integrated amps(A-S1000, 11... | |
| Thrift buy : Klipsch Reference 3 The Synergy F-3 is a 2009ish Best Buy version. Sounds okay for what it is but cheaply built.Bill | |
| Thrift buy : Klipsch Reference 3 I don't think the RF-3 uses the same tweeter as RF-5. The horn assembly is much larger in the RF-5.The RF-7 uses a 1.75" titanium compression driver with a much larger horn than the RF-3.Bill | |
| Thrift buy : Klipsch Reference 3 I think all Reference use titanium tweeters but not all are compression drivers.These Reference towers all use twin 8" woofers.RF-3, RF-5, RF-35, RF-82, RF-82II, RP280F Where does your friend live?Bill | |

| Thrift buy : Klipsch Reference 3 By your description, I am assuming these are RF-35's? Yes they do play loud and clean. In my years of owning Klipsch(Reference, Heritage, and other lines), I have never experienced the dreaded honkyness or shrilling sound that has been attribute... | |
| Aragon 8008ST vs Sumo Andromida III I say definitely give your soon to be refreshed 8008ST a fighting chance. Either or both of the scenarios could exist. Though long in the tooth, the Aragon 8008ST is a rock solid powerful amp that deserves a second chance after repair/refresh.Bill | |
| Dac options with Chromecast Audio SUB $500 db,I am in the same boat. I have a Chromecast Audio feeding into my Yamaha A-S1000 integrated and want a $300.00 to $500.00 DAC also. I have looked really hard at the NAD D 1050, Teac AI-301DA, and Cambridge Audio DacMagic Plus. Just waiting to... | |
| Current NAD integrated amps, what are your impressions? Though I have never bought from Spearit Sound, I have heard/read good things about them. I did speak with customer service before they were very knowledgeable, informative, and courteous.Bill | |
| Help please upgrading my old Pre/Pro.. I have been using an NAD T175HD pre/pro with a pair of Acurus amps(A200/A200X3) for about 4.5 years and see no reason to swap anything out. It just works great together for HT and music.Bill | |
| What center Channel should I go with. Well, as you may have been told, another Chorus II would be best. Since most family room HT systems can't accommodate that, maybe a single Heresy II. If not that, I have heard/read that an Academy or KLF-C6 would be next best. All are on the la... | |
| NAD T 765 upgrade in audio performance Why are you considering selling? I spoke(email) with NAD tech support about 2 weeks ago and they confirmed that the VM300/AM300 modules will be compatible with the T7#5 AVR’s and T175HD pre/pro later in the year. I have the T175HD and I am holding... | |
| Unused Rotel RMB-1075 Solid State Power Amplifier Channel I can't speak specifically about your Rotel but I used the center and surround channels only of an Acurus 200FIVE 5-channel amp for about a year and a half with no negative impact at all.Bill | |
| B&K preamp question Both NADs are fine older budget preamps. I love integrateds by the way.Bill | |
| B&K preamp question I have owned two PT3 MkII's and they are wonderful "budget" pieces. Versatile, well built, very adequate tuner, and a sweet velvety warmish signature. I can't say for sure of the differences between the 3 and the 5 except for the balanced output... |
