| 1 large subwoofer or 2 smaller ones...? One larger one should be sufficient. Any sound below 100 HZ is non -directional. | |
| 29" Speaker Stands for Paradigm 20 v5 Monitors? Save yourself some cash and look at the Sanus steel foundations. They come in 26" or 30" height. You can get them at Wayfair.com for under $150 a pair with free shipping. BTW,I use them with my Harbeth P3ESR's and they are just fine. | |
| Speakers with max of 32" high Spendor A3 and A5 are both under 32 inches high. | |
| Question about replacing 12AU7 tubes. For your information,a 12BH7,5963,5814 can also replace a 12AU7. So if you find those types matched you can use them. | |
| HELP Monitor speakers for vintage components???? I have owned the Spendors and I thought they were a great little speaker. You should be able to get a used pair for under $700. Just be patient and a pair will come up! | |
| Phono Amp to replace Pass Aleph Ono Check out Quicksilver's new one. I have the older version and I think it is outstanding. | |
| Amp Suggestion for Harbeth C7es3 You can get a new pair of Quicksilver Mini Mono's for $1200. There is a used pair going for $800 over at Audio Asylum. Harbeth's sound real nice with Quicksilver. | |
| Returned to Albums/ Vinyl after 30 years Check out SoundStageDirect.com | |
| Placing Lamps Behind Speakers I don't see any problem. Years ago I had Vandy 3A's about one foot from rear wall with no problems. | |
| Tubes at idle I wouldn't fret about preamp tube wear since they last for years. I have 70 year old vintage radios and the original tubes are still fine. | |
| Bed BATH AND BEYOND I already have that Crosley with a Koetsu Coralstone Platinum.Outstanding! | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? Another option is SOTA. They make nice tables with arm included (REGA). Check out the Moonbeam or Comet. | |
| Isolation disc for speaker spikes on wood floors. I use VTI footplates. They are $5.00 each and come in three colors,Black,Silver and Gold. Wayfair.com sells them. | |
| Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve? You should check out a used VPI HW-19 for the warmer sound you are looking for. BTW: I see a nice HW-19 Jr.with an AudioQuest arm and a Grado Platinum cartridge on Ebay for $595. I don't think you would go wrong with that setup. | |
| Is it worth refurbishing my tube Marantz? You're kidding right? Vintage tube Marantz is always in high demand. Especially the pieces you have that are from the 1960's. |
