| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? From my own experience I was set to buy the 1.6 Maggies, which I think are a great great speaker. In looking for some tube gear to use along with them I came upon and fell hook, line and sinker for the Von Schweikert Audio JR4's. To my ears they g... | |
| Audio Debt? Have not gone into long or medium dept, but what I would consider short term. Makes for a smart move if there is a item you might be able to obtain at a great price in a small window of time. And the savings would amount to much more than the inte... | |
| Cary SLI 80 or Conrad Johnson CAV 50? The Cary SLI 80 has a headphone output and can be had with the remote control as well as a sub out. In the real world of living with gear, and other folks,those two additional things may be a real factor. Having said that, I would love to have eit... | |
| Acurus Act 3 vs Lexicon Processor Have a ACT-3 with the base management. Can't say a bad thing about. Built well and sounds good. Easy to use as well, an important factor if there are wife and kids in the equation. Have no experience with the Lex. | |
| Best Bang for the Buck on a Used Center Speaker??? NHT AC-2 center channel speaker. The unit mated with the 2.9 and flagship 3.3 series by NHT. Fast, detailed and accurate. Buying used in and of itself will give you much bang for the buck. If you cannot find the same brand and series of your mains... | |
| b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match The B&W's are of course a great choice, you can't go wrong. However each time I listened to them they did not give me enough of everything I wanted too make the purchase. When it came to the Vons, I ended up paying much more than the speakers ... | |
| Question For Von Schweikert VR4 Jr Owners You don't mention as to whether your room constraints are due to overall room size or just placement issues due to the flow of the room. Having enough overall area can be a factor. In my case the room is on the small side, 14x15x8, and I play with... | |
| any thoughts on the pioneer sx-939 receiver The Pioneer SX-525 was my first reciever, loved it. Was so excited I carried it home from the store in my lap like a new born baby. Sounded good and looked beautifull. If the one you are looking at seems nice. One hundred bucks or less is a small ... | |
| Opinions on the Mac MA 2275? Was to be the gift to myself for big 50, alas price,too much for my desire,perhaps I will be able to obtain all the funds needed in my next 50 years.:] But having auditioned it. the look, the feel, the sound and seeing the wonderfull features, suc... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 SR Knowing that the pocket book may always play a factor with myself. And different rooms in which one may hear speakers etc, play a role in how speakers sound. Having the VR4Jr's myself and having listened to their big brother. My impression was tha... | |
| Von schweikert vr4sr up against mahler ThetaMy two cents may be of little value having not heard the specfic vienna speakers you now have, I have auditioned some of the Vienna line up in times past. However, I have heard the VSA VR4Sr's and I own the VSA VR4jr's. The VSA speakers are f... | |
| Is Smoking Really That Bad For Audio Equipment? Short answer yes, it may take quite awhile for it to do its dirt so to speak however. Smoke, dust etc all will have it's negative effect on various types of gear over the course of time. Moreover,it just stinks ,at least if you are a non smoker. F... | |
| Classe CAP-2100 enough power for NHT 2.9s? You have a great option,the NHT 2.9's can really sing with good power behind them. I will be looking for your results. Good listening.Glen | |
| Balanced and Unbalanced outputs Should not hurt a thing on either side. Keep your XLR cables and connect your center channel with the rca cables and enjoy. | |
| Other than the SOUND, what do you love the most? Loved the look of my Teac X-10 reel to reel, just to see the reels turning and the meters moving to the music. The look of the lights on my first reciever, the Pioneer SX-525, and the Yamaha CR1080 reciever with its green glow and dark wood cabine... |
