| Dahlquist DQ-10 and McIntosh MC240 ??? probably not enough power to light up the inefficient DQ10s but should be pretty sweet! | |
| Vandersteen Model 2Ce Signature II I think they are a solid value and good all around performer but, they have a lot of competition and it depends on what you want a speaker to do. I would prefer a Reynaud Trente in that room for instance (even though the Vandy is more of a full ra... | |
| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen Rolling Stone is just a stupid magazine - I bet there are hundreds of political angles to that (and every) article in it. | |
| I want to try tubes, need suggestions garyjamesdid you compare the Stingray and the Soro?I am just curious what you thought about the differences.I owned both too and always presumed the Soro was better but I owned them about 2 years apart - not at the same time.also fwiw the Stingray... | |
| I want to try tubes, need suggestions an Audio Note Soro SE or Oto are both really (really) sweet but low powered at 18 and 10 watts respectively. | |
| B&W Speakers After many listening sessions to B&W speakers (803N and 802D) I have an aversion to them. The midrange in particular is colored, a certain thickness (or the famous 'kevlar' sound) is distracting to me. Sorry to be discouraging but that was my ... | |
| High End and cables and tin ears.... It may be a good time to avoid the hi fi merry-go-round. Signal cables are pretty good from what I have read, just keep them and buy music instead! | |

| full range close to wall positioning Gradient Revolution speakers are designed to be placed near the wall and have received many rave reviews over the years - though they are power hungry (about 93db I think) | |
| Best speaker cable for Maggies??? Alpha Core Goertz MI2 Veracity | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP pre-amp I only noticed the subdued high end after comparing the 1UP to my Muse CD player. They sounded very similar except the Muse was a bit aggressive on top in comparison, which I always felt to be the case before the comparison. | |
| Electrocompaniet EMC 1-UP pre-amp several listening sessions at a friends house concluded that the EMC-1UP CD player is a bit subdued on top, liquid in the mids with terrific bassvery nice | |
| Who's your guitar daddy now? Aldavis check out Jeff Becks new DVD he played a wide variety of songs and nailed every one. | |
| Hyperion 938,Emerald,Aurum Cantus,JM reynaud,Gallo the Reynaud is a very fine speaker, very good midrange, similar in sound to Spendor though a bit better IMO - depending on model of course. I have heard the Trentes and Offrandes... | |
| Can someone give me some insight. I do not see a mention of speaker wire. I would make sure to use a quality speaker wire (not zip cord) and then see where you are regarding sound.Also, fwiw, I would be tempted to replace everything with Bluejean wire. They have been mentioned in ... |
