| Cat Stevens.... Great Artist or Wacko? Wow, politics creeping into Audiogon. For what it's worth, freedom of expression remains a fundamental right, if you don't agree with the topic, then either challenge the author or ignore it. Putting a price on someone's head for a literary work i... | |
| Best Integrated amp 'around' $1000??? Audio Refinement Complete, there's no real competition in the sub $1000 price range, they generally can be had for sub-$700 here on Audiogon. | |
| Perentage system $$ for speakers Your speakers ought to cost the same as the sum total of your source components. Add up the cost of your analog rig, digital source (CD player or seperates), tuner, etc. Jeff | |
| High current or high wattage amps Try to get your hands on a Levinson, Krell, or Classe amp. They have gobs of current. I used a 100wpc Classe with a a pair of 82db speakers, great match | |
| Any harm in leaving gear in the cold? Thanks guys, I'll haul the gear inside, the humidity arguement certainly has merit. Again, thank you Jeff | |

| Musical system for under $2K? Audio Refinement Complete integrated (used, $700), B&W 602's (used, $400), Target Speaker Stands ($200), CD Player Rega Planet (used, $500), Audioquest wires. $2k all in, very musical...Jeff | |

| Amp/Pre -amp for Martin Logan Requests I'm using an ARC SP14 pre with two Classe DR8 amps. Synergy.... | |
| Integrated Amps vs. Separates. Audio Refinement Complete, built under license (i.e. designed by YBA) is the best value integrated on the market today. You can pick one up for under $700, hard to justify a Krell or even Classe integrated. Having said that, no integrated can matc... | |
| Some of the biggest audio places carry.. Phill_06896, get help. Why use this forum to bash people? You're entitled to your opinion, but there's more positive ways to express yourself. |
