| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? I second the Rotel recommendation. They are as good as it gets for a very reasonable price. I have both and think the Rotel beats the Marantz even though it has less features | |
| How do the Elac Uni-Fi UB5s compare to more expensive bookshelf speakers? At or around your price you can get a previously owned pair of Revel M22's . Reference quality sound for a very affordable price. | |
| Recommendations for used/vintage integrated for vinyl I had the Musical Fidelity A300 at three different times in my audio journey and always liked it using my Rega Planar25 to w/ Benz silver cartridge. I think you'd have to spend a little more for one, probably in the 750-875 range if you can find o... | |
| For all you McIntosh fans I love my MA6500 and that's all I have to say about that!! | |
| Why should i be a fan of Revel speakers? I have the M22's and really like them. Upstream components really make a difference with these. I now run a McIntosh MA6500 with them that really brings out the best in them. They do like to be fed some power. I wouldn't sell them to upgrade to th... | |
| recommendations on a good used cd player for under $750 I would be very reluctant to buy used especially when for your buget Marantz has two players that are very good the cd5005 (399) and the cd6005 (499 comes with USB input on front for your iphone). Both sound very good. I've bought some used cd pla... | |

| Best Drum Solos The drum solo from Soul Sacrifice by the guy who was playing for Santana at Woodstock.....absolutely awesome!! | |
| Recommed a medium sized monitors that can go loud If you want to save a few bucks, look for a gently used pair of Revel M22s. They sound great, very detailed with very good bass. Can play loud and can be gotten for under 1000 dollars now because they never received any press. An outstanding speak... | |
| Advice on New Integrated Amplifier McIntosh MA6500 would be perfect for you. Two sets of speaker outputs. can definitely drive 4-6 ohm loads and sounds absolutely spectacular. | |
| Under $2000 speaker for McIntosh MA6500 Mac ma6500 and Revel m22s have been phenomenal for me. Full bodied , detailed and musical all at the same time | |
| Integrated amp for B&W 685s Any Rotel | |
| b&w 685: heard 'em, liked 'em, but wondering I have the 685s in my living room and absolutely love them. While its not in the system I use for critical listening, they are so musical that I have absolutely no intention of changing them. I power them with a Rotel integrated and a the Rotel 10... | |
| sweetest sounding ss integrated I think there are a number of offerings from Musical Fidelity that would work really well with the B&W 703's. The A300 is one and I'd bet the 308 and A5 would be nice with them also | |
| Good integrated amp for Paradigm Studio 40? I used a Musical Fidelity A300 integrated with them and had great results. The A300 has a nice full bodied sound that works well with the 40's. |
