| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under FYI, ATC makes both active and passive speakers, and as your amps have plenty of juice to drive their passive speakers I'd still highly recommend you go give them a listen given what you're looking for. | |
| Best Rocking Speakers 15K and Under +2 ATC. Definitely not bloated bass, and midrange dynamics and power that are perfectly suited to what you're looking for. And with your electronics I don't think harsh sound is a concern. Think of your 70s speakers taken to much higher levels ... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers I don't see why Elizabeth's post was inaccurate at all. Seems spot on to me. With such a fluid and relatively low risk used cable market it almost seems silly to buy new cables today, although I'm sure glad people do! | |
| Pre amps cost vs. value ... what I discovered last month. Yeah, I have no doubt you heard what you heard, but it's kinda strange that the Boulder sounded that flat out bad. Does make me wonder if it had an issue of some type. | |
| Pricing a Linn CD player that's not in the Bluebook Sucks for CD12 owners. | |
| Where do I go from here? Just to be clear, you’d still be using the Marantz for HT (and multichannel music) duties, it just wouldn’t be involved in critical 2-channel music duties. Well, I’ll weigh in with my own personal experience, which is why I responded to this post ... | |
| Where do I go from here? @auxinput -- The tweeter wasn’t really the issue or stated as being more pronounced. In this case the entire soundstage presentation appeared more right in front and visceral -- much like sitting in the first row of a performance.@wisciman99 -- Au... | |
| Where do I go from here? After reading some reviews it sounds like the ML Motion series may be geared to be more of a "front row" perspective rather than further back, so meaningfully increasing depth of stage may not be in the cards. Apparently pulling them out further i... | |
| Leave preamp on all day, off at night Are the tubes powered when ARC is used in bypass mode? | |
| Where do I go from here? Your biggest bottleneck to a broader and deeper soundstage from an equipment standpoint IMO (and assuming you've optimized speaker placement) is probably the preamp section of your prepro. A good dedicated stereo pre can really open up a system i... | |
| Interconnects and non-believers +1 @geoffkait Use your ears (they are the ultimate measuring device) and open your mind. If you still don't hear a difference then congrats -- you'll save a bundle. | |
| Interconnects and non-believers So elizabeth, you like audio and cars. Next you'll tell us you dig sports. I'm starting to believe you don't really exist. | |
| Muffled vocals I seriously doubt this is a source issue. If I were you I'd attack the problem directly. Find a way to borrow another integrated and pair of cone speakers and swap them one at a time. If either solves your problem you have your answer. My firs... | |

| Where do I go from here? Before doing anything else, listen in stereo to one of your better recorded tracks that inherently has good broad and deep soundstaging. Now try pulling your speakers out another foot (don’t worry about what it looks like for now) and about 6' apa... |
