Have passed through the hundred hour mark on the Prelude Pluses. Finally hooked them up to the tube gear I had bought them to use with (78 wpc EL34 mono blocks; 6H30 & EZ80 rectifier pre-amp). I am no longer thinking I need to get a sub. Lower mid-range and bass are fuller with these tubes than I expected and actually seem better than with the much higher powered solid state gear I used during the breaking in period. Go figure. I think these Preludes are an amazing bargain.
Good looking Towers for < $2000?
Going to upgrade from my Paradigm Studio-20 V5s. These are on stands.
I've decided to go with towers this time. I don't like stands that much.
Anyway, for living room 2ch music. WAF and attractiveness are important for the living room.
Not looking for black rectangular boxes.
I tend to like moderate/soft levels. Jazz, folk, classical, new age, some rock.
I am also looking for a bit more bass than the Studio 20s give me (54Hz low-freq).
Salk looks nice and gets great reviews (SongBirds, SongTowers).
How are PSB? Any other good suggestions?
Thx,
Rob
