| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' I had a similar situation and was very happy with Tetris 120u monitors. Canadian made, very musical--a favorite brand among musicians. The 120u monitor is top ported, and can be placed anywhere. I had them on the floor on 4 inch maple plinths--got... | |

| old high end v. new entry level: audience I am leaning towards the Conductor SE over the Audience Au24 for that reason. Gain the SE benefits even if the conductor material is not the Au 24s OHNO copper. Price is roughly the same between the new Conductor SE and the used Au 24. | |

| Best Option In A CD/SACD Player Under $1,500.00 I have both the Marantz 8004 and the Cambridge BD650, though in two different systems. I bought the 8004 used for $600 and the 650 new for $600. Both are excellent with SACD, and I would give the nod to the Marantz for CDs. The Marantz replaced a ... | |
