| Best spkrs under $700 for a Rotel RA-1070 integrat vin,Paradigms are pretty efficent speakers. I owned the Studio 40's and there are 91 dB @ 8 ohms. The 20's @ 90 db @ 8 ohms with the tweeter and one 7" driver are much easier to drive than the Vandy's @ 86 dB 7 ohm's with a tweeter, 4.5" midrange ... | |
| speaker stand height for "floor seating" usage..? well a good rule of thumb is to have the tweeter at the same height as your ear. Look at the Maple Shade stuff, I know they have some short stands. Good luck | |
| Best spkrs under $700 for a Rotel RA-1070 integrat I really like Vandersteens but, I don't think the Rotel has enough juice for their 86 dB at 7 Ohm rating. Just my opinion. | |
| Best spkrs under $700 for a Rotel RA-1070 integrat Take a listen the the Quad 11L ($700 new) or the 12L around $550-$650 used. Both are monitors. Note that if you buy monitors and don't already have stands that will increase the overall price. Good luck. | |
| Tubes with Thiel 2.4's I have a buddy that has the Rogue 150's (he had them upgraded from the 120's) driving a pair of Vandy 2 sig's and they sound great. And they sound great too. The 150's are much better than the 120's. Never heard the others so I can't comment. Good... | |
| Monitor Audio: audiophile quality????? I think that the Monitor Audio Gold series, what you asked about, are over priced for what you get. I have listened to them in a couple of different shops and thought they sounded good but not worth the price. They are in a price range with a lot ... | |
| Integrated Tube Around $1000 I have been thinking about the Prima Luna Prologue 2 but, I don't think it comes with a remote. That is a deal breaker for me. You can get a Rogue Tempest (60 wpc)used for just above your budget. Good luck. | |
| Integrated amp advice needed... What kind of music do you listen to most?How big is your room?I have alway thought Krell, Musical Fidelity and Bryston made soild gear but, none of them ever did much for me. I have not heard any of the Bel gear so, can't comment on that . If I ha... | |
| What is a good polish for black acrylic? Dave has the best advise. I work in the sign industry and Novus is the best product for acrylic. Good luck. | |

| Which of These Budget SS Preamps? The only one I have heard is the Rotel. It would be an OK match with the Paradigms. Be careful as the Paradigms can be very bright, if not harsh with the wrong components. I use to own the Studio 40's and really only liked them when I had tube equ... | |
| Upgrade in five channel amplifier I second Dave's opinion. I think the pre should be looked at first. I would pick Theta on your current list of amps and add SimAudio Titan to the list. Good luck. | |
| anyone know anything about marsh? Might look at McCormack amps and pre's. Local dealer drives a pair of Vandersteen 5's with a DNA225 and the setup sounds outstanding. You can find used 225's for around 1600 here on the Gon and I have read upgrades are great but, have not heard an... | |
| Subwoofer "Thumping" Do you have a lot of movement on your main speakers mid and/or bass drivers at the same time?When I play records that are dirty I get quite a bit of driver flutter. Clean the record and it goes away. BB |
