How to audition used speakers???
I've thought this way Goatwuss, but I can only listen to a small number of brands by going to a dealer. Even if I go to three different dealers, I may only be exposed to a few speakers. What if I'm curious about vintage speakers or speakers that o... 
Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic
Ah thanks Nsgarch. I didn't realize these things! Several questions:1. I have seen pictures of so-called "horn drivers" that are outside of an enclosure; what does this mean?2. What makes dynamic transducers different from electrostatic ones, and ... 
How to audition used speakers???
Thanks for the responses so far. I'm planning on using these speakers for a second system (in my dorm). I will reuse an Onkyo receiver which has an output of only 40 WPC (into 8 ohms, I believe). Since the output of the receiver is small, I'm thin... 
Anyone Hear New Ohm Walsh MKIII driver upgrades?
I have Ohm Walsh Super 2 S3s (what a ridiculously long name, no?). This is the old, discontinued Walsh 2 cabinet with current Walsh 100 S3 drivers, similar the ones you are asking about. I haven't heard the old MKII drivers, but I can tell you tha... 
What are the best quality speakers for under $500?
I strongly suggest looking at used speakers. Also, visit this website for some good advice: http://www.high-endaudio.com/RC-EntryLevel.htmlI have a pair of Ohm Acoustics speakers. They are the only high quality speakers I have bought. I recommend ...

Tvad, what about the TD 180, is it good? Also, how does a used Thorens compare with a new Rega P1? Finally, how can I be sure that a used turntable is in good condition? I had no problems buying my amp used, but what about a turntable? Thanks, and...

Pedrillo and Piedpiper, I understand and appreciate your point, but at $300 I'm already spending a lot for me. If I can find a used P3 or a VPI for around that price, great! But entry level is not $700. Otherwise, it really doesn't make sense to s...

I've heard about Audio Note and I'd love to get one, unfortunately the TT1 starts at about $950! I can't justify spending that much on my first turntable.

Sigh, ANOTHER question. What do you all think of Systemdek turntables, especially the IIx? I've heard that parts for this table are hard or even impossible to find, and that turns me off.

I was originally thinking of getting a used table, but after reading some of the posts here I realize that turntables are awfully fragile. I'm worried that I might get a used table and find that it's in bad shape. So now I'm thinking new. So I'm l...

Sorry, I had more to say. What the story with cleaning records? Sounds like a good idea to me, does it require any special or expensive equipment?
