| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. Hmmm. I'm thinking maybe Merlin TSMs or Vandersteen 2ce sigs (either around $1.3-$1.4K) and a nice tube integrated. There are lots of tube integrateds for $1500-$1600.00. If you want to watch the classifieds and are prepared to move quickly, I thi... | |
| Hissing sound coming from tweeters I agree that the concept of building a system around a great pre-amp is a good idea. However, very high sensitivity speakers and an amp w too high a s/n ratio is a v. bad match. If you want to stick w the Arye pre, then you should look for less se... | |

| Center Channel with Vandy Quattros? Need help- My guess, and I emphasize its a guess, is that the VCC 1, even though perhaps not optimal w the Quattros, would be a much better solution than a speaker from another manufacturer. And for movies and most video software, IMO, any slight imbalance o... | |

You should be able to pick it up for a number that is very close to your stated budget and for that price it is about as high a price/performance ratio as you're likely to find. I owned ... | |
