I got a little rig what do I do now?


OK, here's the deal...

Have a little rig:

1. Arcam Alpha 8SE
2. Anthem Integrated 2
3. Epos ES12
4. DNM Reson cable, speaker and interconnect

The amp isn't working, I have sent it to John Wright who is here in town. Hope to get it back, better than before. I am getting the bug again. I'd like a more full range sound. Speakers and cable are the first things I though to go after. What does the 'gon think?

As an aside, I did try a cheap LG DVD player as a source running into (optical) a Yamaha multichannel receiver and I could bear it - just, but didn't really object then... Fired up the Arcam with analog RCA and the difference was so crushing there are not words!!

The only thing we have in this life that IS finite is time. Please don't waste it with crap, each of us is worthy to make the most of our time.

Then why are you wasting your time with LG DVD players? Go NOW and seek a quality floor standing speaker! THE 'GON HAS SPOKEN!

You are wasting the 'GON's time by not listing preferences such as price point! THE 'GON HAS SPOKEN!

The Vandersteen 2CE Signatures just listed would be a very pleasing possibility. THE 'GON HAS SPOKEN! ;)
Doug,

First off want to apologize, the last para in the original post is poorly executed, I didn't intend to pose the idea in such a way, it comes across pretty adversarial, not my intention, but THE 'GON doesn't have a nifty edit feature otherwise it would have been GONE' long ago....

I certainly wasn't trying to raise any ire or offend anyone. I hope this can be accepted by everyone. Again the edit feature would have been pretty handy too.

The LG just happened to be attached to the remaining receiver amp, as a result I listened to it for nearly two months (hence the "waste of time" comments) until pulling my head out.

As for the vague questions laid out in the first post. I can fill in a few details:

1. Price, I figure $2k is in the budget for speakers, and or cable if necessary.

There have been 102 people so far view this thread, I've apologized, If I read the original post as an observer, I would have thought the guy a prick too. Please let the discourse flow.
