An all Parasound system - Good idea?
Those three pieces are very, very good. If later he moves up to the mono JC1 amps, he will have a truly stellar hi-fi system base. 
Vandersteen 1Ci, Tekton Lore Reference, or Fritzspeaks Grove for a small room
I have not heard any Tekton or Fritz loudspeakers. I do own the Vandersteen 2CE Sig II and I think they sound very good for the price. I have found by listening many hours to these speakers that keeping them far apart and keeping 18inches to two f... 
Wanted to share this review of Vandersteen Quatro CT's in Positive Feedback
I would love to have a pair of Quatro CT carbon speakers. They would be at the top of a short list of speakers provided I had that kind of cash. For now I will just be satisfied with the 2CE Sig II. They have given me many hours of listening pleas... 
Line Magnetic 219ia & 518ia tube rolling
Wow you have two great amps. I have the 216ia (push pull). Don’t know if I would not work to change speakers or source to upgrade sound. Just a thought not knowing what you have.BTW I have tried NOS GE, RCA and Sylvania tubes with great luck. Also... 
McCormack DNA-750 good?
articdethFunny because I had replied to a post and sent an email about my experience with Odysseya long time ago. I had shared my overall dissatisfaction with the quality and service and after that went with McCormack gear. It was a big upgrade bu... 
Honing down the speaker shortlist ~$5K
I have Vandersteen 2CE Sig II speakers and Magnepan MMGs. I like them both. I think $5K would buy the 3A Sig or the Magnepan 1.7i. Both these speakers are very good. With jazz, acoustic and vocals they are truly great. I would try to listen to the... 
Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used
I like the Vandersteen Quatro Ct and the Magnepan 20.7. 
Regal salon 2 vs vandersteen 5a carbon
I like the Vandersteen 5a. I wish I had a pair. 
Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ?
One hears with their brain not their ears. That was my point early on. We are all slaves to our experiences, education and preferences built over our lifetime.Also it was mentioned "assuming good hearing". I would bet our hearing abilities across ... 
Must speakers have certain volume to sound convincing ?
I think this very much involves the psychology of each person and thier listening habits and enjoyment. I like low listening very much. I also think planars give enough info at low volume for enjoyable sound. Just my opinion...BTW even my neighbor... 
Integrated for Vandersteen 2ce sigII
I'd like to add this tidbit of info. When I went searching for an amplifier, a local hi-end dealer sold me a pair of Vandersteen 2CE Sig II speakers after two long listening sessions. I left without an amp even though he sold Leben, ARC and Shindo... 
Sonos Play1 speakers and system
UPDATE-My neighbor added Sanus speaker stands specifically made for the Sonos PLAY1 speakers. These are a great match and look handsome. 
Looking to buy floor standing speakers in $1000 per speaker range.
MMGs ( I own) or Super MMG system. But I also have Vandersteen 2CE's and they are very good. 
Speakers in the 5-6K$ region & their components
I like the Magnepan 3.7i. I also like the Vandersteen Treo CT. Both require some quality power.I have heard them both and they sound stellar. 
Would you go all 1 brand for electronics?
It is hard to argue with mofimadness. MBL makes very audio gear. I could be satisfied with an all MBL system for $250K.
