| The Best Amp for the Price of Dirt I ended up with a Musical Fidelity A3CR when looking for the best for the price of dirt ($600 on ebay) and am still glad I did. | |
| Quad 12L at low volume These struck me as OK but not great low volume speakers when I heard them.Triangle Titus 202 can be had used for under $500 and are exceptional, the best small monitors I've heard at low volumes. They can also crank up loud and clear amazingly wel... | |
| Jeff Rowland 501s burn in ... a strange experience Sounds like common break in pains. Give it some time to settle in. | |
| Amp vs preamp question Matching amp to speakers and speakers to room is most important to get right first. Cost to accomplish this is secondary. Larger rooms will generally cost more to get right.Once you have this planned out, a pre-amp to match can be determined. You ... | |
| Holographic imaging Theaudiotweak,I agree with the merits of fessing up to a mistake, but given the apparent severity in this particular case, what other option is there?At least it sounds like it has a chance to work now if adjusted properly. I guess the only way to... | |
| Reagrding the Ohm Walsh F & A Now Walsh TLS-I, II Well, I could really use a government bailout, but I guess I will just have to wait in line!Otherwise, I'll be looking forward to an opportunity to hear your creations someday!Enjoyed the website thoroughly! | |

| Help mismatch maybe? "OTOH, look at a B&W 802. There is not a tube amp in the world that will play bass right on that speaker- you need transistors, as the woofers are running at 3 db less efficiency as the midrange and tweeters are. You need an amp that will doub... | |
| Musical Fidelity A3cr amp -- Bridgeable? No, unfortunately, it is not bridgeable. | |
| whats the best addition u have bought for system FM tuners on high end stereo systems are obsolete now I believe as a result of high fidelity digital music devices like the Roku and Squuezebox. I'd keep a good portable or tabletop FM radio around though.But beware, you can spend hours just surfi... | |
| My head hurts.... The future is in digital servers.Keep the CD player and take a look at the Roku Soundbridge to broaden your variety of music available. If you have a high speed Internet connection, you can use it to play countless very decent sounding Internet ra... | |

| Reagrding the Ohm Walsh F & A Now Walsh TLS-I, II Dale,Congrats on the web site!I'm in process of reading through it.I've got modded Ohm F cabinets from Ohm with Walsh 5 series 3 drivers that pop on and off. Could your re-furbished Walsh drivers work well with these without mods? I would love to ... | |
