| Amp for Dynaudio Special 25 I don't know if a tube power amp is something you would want to consider but I had really good results with my ARC VT200. I had my 25's in my second system powered by a Classe' amp (which sounded really nice BTW)but when I hooked them up to my mai... | |
| Best of Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan It's hard to go wrong with any of these fine women.... Personal favorites of mine are: Billie Holiday "Songs for Distingue Lovers (later) or basically any of her earlier Columbia small band stuff, Try the Ella/Ellington records (really cool stuff)... | |
| Cheap volume for large room I agree with Btstrg.......... I have Prodigy's (and think they are stunning BTW) in a room that is a lot smaller and can only wish for something like yours. I think with some treatments on the walls and in the corners you could have something spec... | |
| eggleston andra II efficiency? I have heard Wilson Sophia's, which I thought sounded great. They are a pretty easy load and one your Thor's should be very happy with. Although I have never heard them, Merlin speakers have a very loyal following and are pretty efficient too. BTW... | |

| Lead on Carry That Weight If you are not already familiar with it; there is a book called "Beatles Songs" that is interesting. It pretty much goes through every song they ever recorded and lists who played what, and who wrote what. It also gives comments, recording info, e... | |
| Has anyone listened to the Grado Statement ? Sorry Doublebass; I did'nt read your post correctly......... on the other hand though maybe it would be worth your time to check out a different phono stage that would allow you to try a wider variety of carts??? Just a thought.Chris | |
| Has anyone listened to the Grado Statement ? Hey Doublebass,I'll start out by saying that so much of this stuff is personal preference that it's hard to make an informed decision, especially on cartridges that you can't "take home for an audition". Having said that, I recently went from a Gr... | |
| Magnapan 1.6 and 65 inch tv Oh Gosh, @#@!&** (much hand wringing).............. Don't tell me. My HT system sounds like crap, I've just wasted a bunch of money on a pair of Maggies, and I did'nt even know it...... Thanks for the heads up Ozzy!!!!UHHUM......... Contrary t... | |
| Best Efficient versatile Speaker reaching 30Hz? There is a Von Scheikert (sp?) model called the DB93? (I am really butchering this name here) that is very efficient and goes pretty low. It has a built in powered woofer section............ Any it looks very interesting. Maybe someone else can ch... | |
| Magnapan 1.6 and 65 inch tv I have somewhat of the same setup in my HT system; with a 50 inch Sony TV in the middle. I have the 1.6 ribbons on the inside, rather than the outer edge of the speakers. Paired with a REL subwoofer, they sound great. I would still think you would... | |
| Martin Logan Summit, better than Prodigy FWIW, I did not simply "walk into a room and decide the speaker is no good" as the above poster suggests. I am very familiar with the room they were situated in. The electronics, while not identical to my own were primarily ARC, which is what I ha... | |
| Martin Logan Summit, better than Prodigy I currently own the Prodigy's and heard the Summit's at my dealer the other day. I was not impressed. They weren't in the best room but they did have good electronics driving them. They are much smaller than the Prodigy and, the best way I can des... | |
| Mac 402 & Audio Research LS25MKl ? If you have a good amp, preamp, and speakers (and you do), the next place to look at is your front end......... what's going on there. More info.......... | |
| Sonics of Soundlabs Thanks for all of your posts so far........ 76doublebass, I am only thinking of trying something new (always on the lookout for the holygrail so to speak). It is probably too early to really judge the Soundlabs but, I am thinking you are right; my... |
