What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Hi Dh4kimWill 12" drivers produce slam in a 12 by 12 room? I think that they will, but this is very subjective. How much slam do you want? I think that slam is probably a sort of coloration, but for me it is a euphonic coloration. I like to feel t... 
What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Hi Dh4kimAsking for the "best" of anything will generate multiple impressions. For slam, a driver/drivers with a large radiating surface is necessary. Slim towers with multiple 6 or 8-inch drivers won't do. At least 10-inch driver(s) are needed. T... 
Help with Thorens TD-125MKII
Hi Sabocat59I picked up an old 125 a few years ago to play with and ended up parting some of it out. On mine, the particle board was actually held on by the wood screws affixing rubber feet to the underside. Good luck.Bill 
Biamping B&W 802 with Musical Fidelity and Bryston
Hi Alexv I biamp my 801Ns with Mac tube and solid state amps, and am very happy with the results. That being said, I think that if your system sounds bright to you, adding more power to the bottom end won't change the way your current amp comes ac... 
Which channel gets the vocals on Nowhere Man?

bi-amping with Mc352 and Mc2102
Hi Larry I am biamping a pair of N801s with MC1000s and an MC2000. I love the way it sounds, the tube amp smooths out the highs and has a sweeter midrange than the solid state amps. By itself, the MC2000 just didn't have enough balls for the 801s.... 
Monster Alpha Genesis 2000 rebuild?
Hello Frogman I have a Benz-Micro Ruby that I had retipped at Vandenhul. If you do this, it changes the sound of the cartridge, slewing it towards a Vandenhul type of sound. If you want to maintain the original sonic characteristics of your Genesi... 
custom built rack's.
Hi again Bigjoe. I forgot to mention that the Sanus Euro bases make great amp racks, and will accomodate almost any amp, including yours. Good Luck. Bill 
custom built rack's.
Hi Bigjoe. Although they wont fit your MC1200s, the Sanus Euro furniture have worked well for me. They are relatively inexpensive, and very sturdy. My MC1000 amps required me to buy the optional 12" risers, but with those I was able to stack 2 MC1...
