| PSB Tower Speakers - Amp Matching With PSB and NAD being sister companies, I would start with any of the fine choices from NAD like the 375BEE/DAC or the 390DD. Both will come in under $2000.00.http://nadelectronics.com/articles/NAD-Amplifiers-with-PerfectPitchBill | |
| best CD player new or used for $1200 Don't forget about the Cambridge Audio 851C player/DAC. Great performance for the $$$.Bill | |
| Whats a B&K Reference 2220 600 W Amp worth? You have come across a nice find. If in good shape(cosmetically and operationally), they are "worth" $350.00 to $450.00 each. They spec at 220w/ch@8ohms and I think 350w/ch@4ohms.Bill | |
| NAD C375Bee or Yamaha A-S2000 Scott,I own and have owned NAD amps, receivers, integrateds but have not owned the 375. They all have driven my Klipsch Heresys, fortes, Quartets, and RF-63's very well. I presently own the Yamaha A-S1000 integrated and could not be more pleased h... | |

| Best 3 channel amplifiers under $750? I second the Anthem MCA30. Very neutral sounding with great punch and rhythm. On the warmish side maybe a B&K Reference 200.3.Acurus A200x3 is also a very solid amp, very similar in tone/power as the Anthem MCA-30.Bill | |
| Which speakers pair well for Onkyo A 9555? A pair of Klipsch Heresys or Heresy II's will sound wonderful with your 9555. I have had very good success driving mine with 90's vintage Onkyo/Integra integrated amps and stereo receivers. I personally have not heard the 9555/Heresy combo but kno... | |
| Why did you choose a horn based loudspeaker? "I wouldn't mind a better/nicer speaker."For the record, I was not implying that the Klipsch Quartet(96dB) was not a quality speaker(owned two pair and absolutely loved them), just not the best to be powered by a flea amp. I own and have owned man... | |
| Why did you choose a horn based loudspeaker? Klipsch Quartets are wonderful well balanced speakers, but not near the best choice in the Klipsch line(previous or current) to mate with a 1.75 watt amp.Bill | |
| What amp With $1000.00 to spend, you have a plethora of choices that would work well with Klipsch Heresys.For $300.00 to $700.00(huge $$$ I know), you could get a hold of a legendary vintage 80's/90's Luxman R-117 receiver and never have to consider anythi... | |
| Top brand speakers Bo,It is sad to say but 2D sound is still marketed and sold because of the highly compressed iPod/iPhone/MP3/SMART phone music that is still dominant in the market today. Selling to the masses nets more profit, period.Bill | |
| Top brand speakers Ricred1,All things you mentioned do appear to be true. I can't speak for others but it just does not bother me that much when Bo goes on his tangents. He does speak in a manner that he appears to present himself as "the" authority of better sound.... | |
| Top brand speakers I find what Bo has to say and his passion for "better" sounding audio very interesting. I don't think he comes across as arrogant or as a know it all. I do think though with his language barrier that he does have a hard time conveying what he is t... | |
