| How do I go backwards? Write down your options on a smaller system that will take you to the musical place you want to be. It may be hit or miss with some pieces but take a stab at setting an overall goal - maybe even going someplaces you have never been before. These c... | |
| Is it me? Comments on the Rega Mira integrated. My daughter has a Rega Luna in her bedroom system which is essentially the same circuit as a Mira. It is a decent integrated even for a solid state. The soundstaging is good, detail is much better than most SS amps in the range, it leans toward wa... | |

| Affordable subwoofer for music cont'd Don't let the "audio snobbery" cause you to spend more than you comfortably can - it doesn't have to cost megabucks to be good. All the other responses read your original post and considered your budget in their recommendation. If it sounds good t... | |
| Affordable subwoofer for music cont'd I have found that sealed box subs seem to be tighter and quicker that ported subs. Ported subs give you more "grunt" for HT by moving more air. I think all the subs on your list are ported. That said I can give a recommendation to the Dayton Titan... | |
