| Mapleshade boards under speakers Sebraasch,Your room's floor structure is well suited to benefit from wood platforms given my experience and the experience of those above. I tend to agree with Chashas1 about the glass casters, but am also a great believer in trying things out for... | |
| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? Lacee,OK - that is helpful. I get what you are trying to say, but still think the "Wall Plugger" concept as you articulate it doesn't exactly fit to world of audiophile AC management.1. Direct "wall plugging" is not necessarily a low tech or "anti... | |
| Tube pre/SS amp to replace Plinius 8200 integrated The grey face is integral part of Contour speaker. Look the Dynaudio Focus 220 II or Focus 360 as potential alternatives - more classic wood finish and Danis good looks - very neutral (not rolled off) sounding with quality electronics. These speak... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers Agree with all Johnnyb53 says. I would also suggest lugging them out to the room where your larger Klipsch reside and trying them in that system to see how they do there. - could be the current room size is too small for the 603s to open up, or th... | |
| Best sounding mid reciever -temp replace separates Marantz is fine. I just think Denon and Onkyo have the best combination of performance and user friendliness of all the current offerings.For Marantz, I suggest SR7002 THX® Select2 Surround ReceiverFor Yamaha, I suggest RX-V1900 7.1 Channel Home T... | |

| Tube pre/SS amp to replace Plinius 8200 integrated I like the Vincent Hybrid idea.Another suggestion would be the PrimaLuna ProLogue Three tube preamplifier and the Cambridge Audio Azur 840W solid state power amplifier. | |
| Good budget interconnects for arcam alpha 8? Yes - definitely will make a positive difference. Power cords too if detachable. Anti-cable, cheaper AQ wires, Kimber PBJ, SignalCable are all good products at reasonable prices.HCM Audio is selling older AQ products for super cheap, and AudioAdvi... | |
| Recommended new speakers for under $500? Agree with all that has been posted here, and suggest adding EPOS ELS 8 Mini Monitor to your list. | |
| How any "wall pluggers" are out there? I have to agree with Roxy54, I don't really follow the logic of the original post??? I am assuming "Wall pluggers" are less distracted by gadgets between the "plug" and the "play" than the average audiophile.But, if your circuit's power is clean a... | |

| Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83 Macdadtexas,You said at first:"The advenet of internet based movie downloads is already available in HD. Granted, it's only 720 and no HD soundtracks, but does anyone believe that is not coming, and quickly. I love using my AppleTV to rent movies,... | |
| upgrade path from Dynaudio 52SE So Miner42, upgraditis delayed for now? I didn't pile on the Rotel-Basher Bandwagon because I really like the 1082/1092 combination. That kit is definitely not "Lo-Fi". I would think set up properly with decent wires this pair could make the Dyana... | |
| upgrade path from Dynaudio 52SE Stricken and Okocza,I didn't mean for the "house sound" comment to be taken negatively, and maybe I used this term in error - its just that Dynaudios I have listened to - mostly Audience, Focus and Contour lines - have had a similar presentation a... |
