BEST SPEAKER TO MATCH..

This is probably the first time that a female trying hard to be in audio circa, is asking desperately of what speaker I can match with my Sunfire AMP (300 watts per channel and Sunfire tube pre-amp with kimber hero IC and kimber 8tc speaker cable.

Right now I am using NHT 2.5i and my boyfriend (who introduce me to this craze)is telling me all the time that my set up did not match the performance of my amp and pre-amp....pleeease help...

Rox, check out the Cardas site http://www.cardas.com/insights/roomsetup.html for speaker positioning, follow the suggested formula and see how your set up sounds. I'd suggest trying this before you change any gear. Winks are cool, Jeff

Hello Jeffloistarca and all you audiogon member,

I did go to the website(www.cardas.com) and try those speaker placement ,distance of calculation and measurement that the site recommend, and it does work so good and it seems like it is new a system,but the biggest problem is I have to re-arranged my listening room due to the movement of the furniture and so far I am happy and my boyfriend is also happy,

Thanks

I owe you one.......

roxbury, i'd hazard a guess that yer speakers are now a bit further out from the wall than 1'? ;~) unless yer present speakers are specifically optimized by the mfr for near-wall placement, most are significantly improved by being moved out into a room. i was gettin' ready to suggest a couple brands that do well against-the wall, but ya seem ok, now! :>)

regards, doug

Hey Sedond thank you for the response but your comment is still welcome, I am still not fully satisfied ("a woman attitude to always change their mind every second, that drive my boyfriend crazy) but it is more better than the previous setup.

Again to you gorgeous looking and smart guys of AUDIOGON a warm kiss of gratitude...bye bye..bye
