| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Certain brands have acquired 'cult' status. To me, McIntosh is kind of like Cadillac, a brand that for decades was considered to be in the luxury class, but not high performance. I still think it is largely true. There are certainly better-perform... | |
| best preamp ever - cost is no object I would say there is no such thing as 'best' in this category. You'd have to audition the usual suspects. | |

| SET for 88 dB 4 ohm loadspeaker "03-15-07: Monomithosi can not understand the Nagra VPA model's specifications "Pure Class A Push-Pull Triode Monoblocks" how can a pure class A be PP at the same time? Is this ultra liner? Class 'A' refers to the bias condition. | |
| SET for 88 dB 4 ohm loadspeaker I doubt this is a good idea. | |

| Paint on Yamaha NS-1000M Cabinets It's black. Surely there are thousands of black paints on the market. I was looking for specific advice. | |
| Need advice for full range speaker with bottom end A full-range speaker is nothing more than several part-range speakers packaged together, as no single driver can effectively cover the entire range of human hearing while allowing good volume, power-handling, and efficiency. The three-way speaker ... | |

| Transparency: What speakers have it in spades? Martin-Logan | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers I would spend 1/2 to 2/3 on speakers. It deepnds on what speakers you like, after all. Some speakers may take a lot more power to drive them, and so you may have to buy a used high-power amp to start with. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? 1) Yamaha NS-10002) Big Wilson monster-thingy3) Linn Isobarik DMS4) Spendor SP1/25) Martin-Logan |
