Best small/monitor/bookshelf speakers?
Camadeco: I am not certain that I listened to the "DM". I listened to a model 302 that I found to be a little too rough sounding for my taste, but do not know if it was DM, Series 2 or what. I listened to a 601 model (again I do not know which ser...

Funny, I looked at the Reynaud website and the US rep listed is a 20" drive from where I live.

Thanks Sean. And yes, the Richmond is the replacement for the Isis. The break in time was long for my pair. The manufacturer states 25 hours, a good reviewer (Rome) suggested 50 hours and mine took 150+ hours being broken in at fairly low volume l... 
Satisfaction Guarenteed?
Hi I'm back. Yes, I feel that it can be a very neurotic hobby. After all many people are content listening to a mini system or a table radio. I think that most of us are trying to create a live musical experience in our homes and to do so is quite...

Ever hear this phrase? "If I liked it I would be dissapointed". 
what is everybody listening to right now
I think that Eldragon wins the honors so far with Huun-Huur-Tu. I went right to Amazon.com after reading his writeup and look forward to hearing a style of music that is new to me.

The best of Miss Peggy Lee. And before that a free CD from Barnes and Noble "Women of Song" which includes two cuts by Omara Portuondo of Buena Vista Social Club fame.

Figuy: Do you have a website for Reynaud? I have a reminder note to look into their Trente speakers but have been unable to locate the manufacturer or a dealer. Thanks.

Whatjd: You have nice amps in both of your second systems. The Classe should be nice and smooth and the Stasis design beats the crap out of the new NAD stuff for musicality IMO. For your system the Tukans would be very nice. They are also designed... 
Cowboy Junkies fans........
Hi Garfish: The Junkies are my favorite new find in popular easy listening music. I suspect that many of the Junkies songs are through compositions. By this I mean that the song was pretty much basically conceived as a whole as apposed to being pi...

The Junkie site is in Canadian Dollars. $14.00Canda = $9.66US if it makes a difference to anyone South of there.

Hi Whatjd: What are the electronics in both systems and what is your price range again per system. The reason I ask is that the Tukans are great little speakers but require good electronics and cables to sound that way. They are also a 4 ohm load ... 
Best intergrated amp. for US$800
Hi Charles. That is what I did, it was $500.00 3 months ago. I just confirmed that a pair of the XA-50 mono blocks are on their way and since the synergy between the older X-A1 and the X-A50's is already estasblished I will stick with the X-A1 for... 
Best intergrated amp. for US$800
Chaskelljr: Hello, have you listened to both the X-A1 and X-A2 amps? I own the X-A1 and am wondering how different the sound of the X-A2 is. I for some reason suspect that it may sound a little less warm, as this has been MF's trend with their new... 
Top Ten Tube PreAmp of all time?
Audible Illusions 3A or if you prefer less warmth the L1. A friend has a Marantz 7C that he claims is tops. It has had the usual maintenance plus a rebuilt (rewound) power transformer and also the addition of a custom designed volume pot that main...
