Bed room systems?
Simplicity is the key to my bedroom system. A Roksan Kandy III integrated and a NAD C541i which decodes HDCD very well are the electronics. Current speakers are Vandersteen 1Cs which are probable a tad larger than you intend. I used several differ...

Need some information on TDC - 20 Speakers
Well I owned a pair of TDC speakers in the early 70s that were purchased at Tech Hifi. Tech Hifi was a New England audio chain store at that time. I thought the TDC name brand was the stores own because they were significantly cheaper than other m... 
Power Amp for Roksan Caspian system
Just in case you weren't aware, Roksan makes a power amp in the Caspian line which is perfect for bi-amping. Good luck. 
Small Room. 2-channels. $1,500 & nothing else.
I hear you. I started a room more than a year ago and believe I found a mix that works very well at about $1,300. All of the equipment was used but mint. My room is approximately 12X11 and fairly hard. There were many changes made to get here, mos... 
Is NAD C542 better than a Link DAC?
Hello,I don't usually answer these types of questions but I was recently using a Sony CDP-XE500 as a transport and an Adcom GDA-700 DAC. I wanted to simplify things and purchased a NAD C-541i to replace the Sony. I much prefer the NAD. With standa... 
ISO slim floorstander speaker, need recommendation
Thiel 1.5s (used) or the 1.6. One of the few speakers my wife approved of. 
Bi-wire Cable Choices?...
I've been tracking this discussion and hope you reveal your results with the Canare. I too am using the 4S11 in biwire configuration and think it is an extremely good value. Had previously used Kimber 8TC, Audioquest type 4+, CV6, and Crystal. The... 
Big Stupid Warm Speakers
Have we forgot about Bose 901s. Any series will do. Just crank the equalizer bass control up. I haven't heard them in years but from what I recall they could really fill the room with BIG STUPID WARM sound. Very cheap for used. Sorry I just reread... 
YBA DT integrated vs. Musical Fidelity A308
Hello,Recently decided to go the integrated route as a way to simplify my system. After several attempts the Roksan Kandy mkIII seems to fit the bill. Wonderful to use, no cable mess, and easy to just sit back and listen to music. The Roksan may n...

CDP recommendations with volume control
If you aren't looking for extremely high end, the Denon DCD-3000 or even DCM-560 (if changer is desired). Both use analog volume pot, with nice sounding 20 bit dacs. 
NHT ST4,is this a warmer sounding speaker?
I am using a pair of the SB3s in a small listening room and I don't find them overly bright at all. I have soom experience with NHT 2.5s and felt they were exceptionally bright. I also owned a pair of the Super Ones for a while and found them lack...
