Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Charles 1Dad, thanks for the reply!  Thats the quick, to the point, constructive response.  I have a Peachtree 220se right now: where would I install this fuse? I'll give it a shot if it will work in my application! 
Nola Boxer 2 vs. Paradigm Studio20 V5?
Now I remember!  I just bought a Peachtree 220se; am loving it!  I was considering a Nuprime IDA8 as well and in all honesty, I think I will eventually still buy an IDA8 for a second system.  Looks like a great little piece but some reviewers said... 
Nola Boxer 2 vs. Paradigm Studio20 V5?
Hi Rob!  I have owned the Studio 20's V5's and they actually play pretty dang loud.  I think sometimes people don't realize how loud bookshelf speakers play because they lack the bass that towers have.  Get a pair of subs and pair them to the Stud... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Im confused how a thread about a fuse is the main topic here at audiogon lately... and in the pre amp amp section and not tech?  I believe in tweaks but I've never seen something so blah and boring get so much coverage.  How can someone possibly t... 
NuPrime IDA8 vs Peachtree 220se
Hmmm, is the Peachtree 220se and Nuprime IDA8 too entry level to get any type of response?Good to see a thread about a fuse get over 800 responses but this thread about 2 integrated amps currently on the market gets nothing.Oh well!  I already pul... 
Classe CA-301 for Dynaudio Contour 1.3
I had a Classe Ca150 and Ca200, both were great amps.  I believe that you would like the Ca301!  The Ca150 and 200 were smooth and powerful.  The Ca200 was my favorite amp that I've had.  The 301 should have plenty of power for pretty much any spe... 
$800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system
Nice!  I had some 2ce's and I've also owned peachtree gear.  You put together a nice little system on the cheap (if $1500 is cheap)!  Congrats, I think you'll be pleased 
recommendations for SS integrated with DAC for < $1200?
I am considering buying a Nuprime IDA8 also this week. I may wait to hear some impressions from you first though! Keep me in the loop as well- 
Upgrading Wadia 170i IDoc to new 171 IPod dock
thanks for reporting on the tdownes; I was actually wondering if that was going to work! 
Just moved to an apartment need speaker suggestions
I agree with JL and Larryi.  Stick with the maggies if you can place them and you can use the sub quieter at certain times and louder others.  Its a great way to control the bass in an apartment.  Im not sure of your subs dimensions but look into ... 
Can you smell your speakers when youre rockin out?
The scent I was smelling was the insulation / batting, glue, wood, stain, (new electronics?) etc.My last setup was in a smaller bedroom, sealed pretty well also.The smell is of new speakers, like a new magazine, car or home.  The smell goes away a... 
Im over Tidal
Sorry I haven't replied forever... for some reason I didn't have the text box.Anyways, yes I do believe it is my internet connection, without getting into details.I have another thread that I can't seem to respond to either and that one is "Tidal ... 
Paradigm 60v5
Roger that!  The 60's did have a larger soundstage so the 60's crossed over at 80 hz to a sub may actually be better than 20's ran full range with a sub...As for using the 20's as rear speakers that is fine.  You'd want to mount them a bit higher ... 
Paradigm 60v5
I actually preferred the 20's and a sub over the 60's.  The bigger driver in the 20's can play louder and stay more composed than the smaller drivers in the 60's.  Buy some good stands if you dont have some already, buy a good sub and then for you... 
Comments, suggestions please: Scansonic mb 1 vs paradigm sig 2 v3
I don't think you can go wrong with any of those speakers.  I had paradigm studio 20's v5 & studio 60's v5, as well as Sig 2 v.3's.  Loved the Sigs!Those ascend sierra 2's looklike the best deal on speakers for $1500!  Wow!  Those lawerence ma...
