| Got my very first system. What's my next move? It is certainly practical to gain a good bit of experience and be able to find what you like and don't before making a purchasing leap. It seems though that a good power conditioner would be a help in this cause and also be a good investment. That... | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer In upgrading my speakers, I wanted to listen to a lot more music in multi-channel SACD and wanted more soundstage and imaging with matching and integration. I listened to a lot of speakers, B&W, Tannoy, Thiel, Sonus Faber, Monitor Audio, and V... | |
| Help wanted choosing speakers and subwoofer Check out von schweikert, they have some package deals that are pretty good www.vonschweikert.com. I run a complete package with VR4JRs as mains, and VR1s as rears and the matching center and sub. I am sure that using VR2s would be great. The Sunf... | |
| $2500 amp and pre/pro Since you mentioned sunfire, you may want to consider the Ultimate Receiver, it is the TGIII pre/pro w/ 7 200W amps (7.1 or multi-room option). It is very nice and if you look hard, I bet you could grab one for $3K. It gives you the option to go s... | |
| Best Subwoofer for $500? A friend just picked up a Sunfire SuperJR for $600 at onecall.com. | |
| Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs Good point Rsbeck, Bayou Country is a stereo only disk. In my opinion, the sonic quality isn't that great. I was expecting more. | |
| Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs I just received Bayou Country and haven't listened to it a whole lot. I have not been overly impressed so far. I have not tried the Redbook layer yet. Unfortunately it came in the same crop as Patrica Barber Cafe' Blue - now that is a high quality... | |
| I decided on Monitor Audio for my music, but Not to throw a monkey wrench into your search, but at $2500 there are more choices. An audition of the Von Schweikert VR-2s could prove worthwhile. I auditioned both the GR20 and GR60 in my system, nice speakers but I couldn't seem to warm up to t... | |
| "Must-have" SACDs Out There Picking up on jh2os's thread, on multichannel disks, is the SACD Stereo mix kind of a minimum requirement that may not get the same level of attention and qualty as in stereo only SACDs? I guess it makes sense that stereo only SACDs would in gener... | |

| Von Schweikert VR-4jr owners, your thoughts? I've had mine for about 1 month but just re-configured my room last weekend to take advantage so I am still hunting for the perfect placement. I am still breaking in Analysis Plus Oval 9 bi-wire cables and Analysis plus interconnects. I also went ... | |
| speakers on fireplace hearth??? I just finished reconfiguring my room because of the hearth problem. For 8 years I've had one speaker up on the hearth and one on the floor. I got new speakers and decided to re-wire everything so that I could get the right speaker placement and I... | |
| B&W 703 or VR4 jr? I just bought the VR4JR and had looked hard at the B&W 703 and 804. The VS's are really great speakers and to me sounded much better sounding all around. If you get a chance check them out. | |
| Newbie Question I'd highly recommend SACD, it is incredible and well worth it. I went with the Denon 2900. |
