| Up to $4500 burning a hole in my pocket See if you can get some version of montior audio gold or silver. Very highly rated, and really Monitor makes great speakers. I'm on my second pair, having moved up from gold to the new Platinum series. The treble just sings, there is solid base an... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Mahler 7th symphony, Barenboim cond. Great performance. Gives it much more coherence than other versions I've heard. Also Bruno Walter cond. Bruckner 9th. very mellow. For a bonus, a mix I made of adagios from Beethoven string quartets. God bless ... | |
| Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used? I've had great pleasure from my Monitor Audio PL100 II. Those are 6k new. If you go up the list to the slender floor standers you'll find speakers you could get well under 10k used. I find the Monitor remarkable, and much better -FOR MY TASTE-- t... | |

| Best pressing of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto? Joshua Bell. Great excitement. I heard him live a few years ago and even though he's probably performed it 200 times, it was still filled with energy. | |

| Standmount speakers 4k-8k UPDATE: I've taken the advice received here and started with improving my amp. Dealing with audiogon makes it financially possible. Just today got my Sony AE1, which is not very old, for 1/2 price. And you guys were right, makes a big difference. ... | |
| Standmount speakers 4k-8k Kalili thanks for advice. I have taken the comments about electronics to heart and just yesterday bought on Audiogon a Sony integrated amp (regular price 2k, got it for 1/2 that). So in a week I'll see how the GX-50s sound with a real amp, rathe... | |
