| Best bookshelf speakers Fortunately we live in a time where there are many brands of amazing bookshelf speakers for under $2,000. And if you don't mind buying used, there are many more options. My MO with most purchases is to buy slightly used and get something high en... | |
| The Truth about Modern Class D I am in the IT field and I worked in computer retail for awhile in the 90's. Sometimes I would have people come in and they were what I came to call "specced out" and suffered analysis paralysis. I still remember this one guy, over 20 years ago.... | |
| What phono pre am I looking for? This thread is timely for me. I just upgraded my turntable to a Marantz TT-15S and I am running it through a Project Phono Box as a temporary solution and it is obviously majorly limiting. I have been running a PeachTree Nova 220SE, but I just r... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Just wanted to comment that I am appreciating the continued dialogue. I am pretty close to getting them and I can always return if they don't work out. | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I am referring to the Impact Monitor as linked above. | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @bullit They do have the same tweeter. Thanks for the feedback. And the roller coaster goes back down :) | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @ky1mag This is the situation that I am in and I am skeptical that they are going to sound good in this position. I have a chance to get some B&W 805's for a fantastic price, close to $1000 below market. I have considered getting them for my... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors @david_ten Thanks for the input. I have looked, but I can't tell what the difference is with the rears, they look like the monitors. I do have a sub. Not only is the size of my room sub optimal, but the layout is too. There just isn't much I ca... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors Thanks for the info. I have also been considering a Rogue Audio Chronus Magnum. I figured I would get the speakers since I have a stack of SS amps that I can go through in the mean time. I also have a small tube amp that I can try too. | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I was going to start a thread and found this one. After reading much of the DI thread, I am close to buying the monitors. I have a small room/office that is about 8x12 and my speakers are on the long wall about 6' apart. I am currently running ... | |
| For older guys I am in my mid 40's and last year inherited my Mom's record collection. She was a teen in the 60's and was a huge Beatles fan. I was fortunate enough to basically get everything they put out in the 60's. But also in her collection were some of ... | |
| How would you get into the biz? I agree with Sean, the mass market is definitely heading that way. And I believe a fair number of those will convert to higher end audio as they age, get the means. Kind of like start with a Honda, move up to an Acura. | |
| Bookshelf Speaker Recommendations Thanks for the continued recommendations. There is so much good stuff out there in this price range, it is difficult to choose. I have looked at everything suggested. The LS50 seems to have a strong following. There were a fair amount of compa... | |
| Bookshelf Speaker Recommendations I hadn't heard of the de Capo before. They look interesting. There is a single one for sale on eBay for $799 :)I have heard a lot of great things about the Totems. I think I will put them on the short list as well.Thanks and keep them coming! | |
| Heard the B&W N804d3s ... A used pair of 805's have been what I really want to use, but many on here have talked about the Ascend Sierra 2. There are a fair number of good choices in sub $2000 range.Now if life would just quit getting in the way with medical bills and car... |
