| Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion Looking on A-gon, I see a 12 ft pair of Analsis Plus Oval black SC for $450. If 12 feet would do, you would get a great souding cable overall with good soundstage and OUTSTANDING bass ! A+ as its called,is one of the very best audio companies with... | |
| Focal chorus 716 Good advice, I like Focals in general, value for money BUT they will let you know if your entire syetem is good or NOT. | |
| Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion 13 ft is a lot, my choice would be DH labs or AudioArt, sound good with about anything,easy to live with. IF you could find a pr of MIT AVT 1 that long be good as well. | |
| Aging and Treble and Income? At the end of the day all a speaker can do is let you know how your amp sounds.Albertporter is uber-correct on imaging, greatest halls in world are clear and do not image.Why folks freak out over "imaging" is unclear. | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Karen Allyson by a mile, unlike Barber she can actually sing, unlike Krall she can actually keep time. | |

| Some Axpona thoughts Rega RS-5 is a very good speaker for the classical music lover, the RS-3 is even better in a small to medium room. | |

| Another audio dealer closes his shop The rich and super-rich already have 3-4 systems, if they even care about music,high-end audio prices are beyond 90 % of all american budgets, except for a few nuts like me. | |
| AR the Turntable - worth it? Hifiharv, just so ! I doubt if those B&O's reproduced anything below 80hz or so.Might have disturbed the Lawrence Welk set. | |
| Help me pick some speakers Low end on Preludes is slighty less, low 40's maybe in most rooms, but MUCH tighter, faster and more "tuneful" than the 2 you mentioned. A hard-core headbanger would prefer the rough and ready 100"s, they are voiced for rock allright and thats wha... | |
| Help me pick some speakers Oh, I forgot, Siverlines compare to Paradigm about like a BMW compares to a Chevy.Owned them too. | |
| Help me pick some speakers Silverline Preludes are probaly unbeatable at used under 1K.VERY mususical, far faster and clearer than Vandersteen, PSB, with better bass than Dynaudio standmounters.I've owned all of the above. | |
| AR the Turntable - worth it? As a grad student I worked part-time for a large snooty B &O dealer who sold MANY of their skinny -arm expensice TT's.One day before work I brought my AR-XA with Shure 91-ed in, was a lot of surprised faces as it wiped those B&O out thru t... |
