| swans m200 Contact Audiogon member underwoodwally. underwoodwally@aol is his e-mail. I bought a pair of Swans from him and I am very satisfied. Remember when you compare to LM1s that Swans are active (powered), LM1s are not. Drop me an email if you want more... | |
| Best smaller than bookshelf speakers? try Gallo. www.roundsound.com | |
| Best A/V Receiver Under 700 Outlaw is a good alternative. Can't beat the price. Talk to underwoodwally here on Audiogon if you want more info. I personally use a Marantz SR-7000, which you should be able to find for less than $700 new. The Marantz is excellent on HT and does... | |
| Small footprint speakers I second the Soliloquy recommendation. The 5.3 goes down to 35 and the 6.3 goes down to 25. I own a pair of 6.3s and a pair of 5.0 monitors. Love them both and they are priced very competitively. Even cheaper if you can find agood used pair. Good ... | |
| Help with NHT 3.3 s Try to get your hands on the "magic formula" for speaker placement. I think I saw it in Stereophile Guide to Home Theater. I haev also seen reference to it here. Try a search for speaker placement. I believe one the premier loudspeaker manufacture... | |
| Ideas for audio related jobs in Boulder/Denver? Jeff Rowland Design Group is located in Colorado Springs.Good luck. Great place to relocate to. | |
| monitor w/ bass? I agree with the B&W recommendations above. The 805N is awesome but expensive. The CDM-1NT comes pretty close for a lot less money. If cost is a factor, try a pair of Soliloquy 5.0s. They give the B&Ws a serious run for a lot less money. S... | |
| Speaker dilema? Maggies, Newforms, or Merlins I have no personal experience with any of these, but I know that Final has major discount available on their 0.3s right now if you want to consider another alternative. I got an email from them offering them for $1,299 through the end of this month. | |
| Cable suggestions Find some used Audioquest for the speakers. You should be able to find some Green, Type 4, or maybe some Type 6 at that price for short lengths. I have no idea other than Monster for ICs at that price. Whatever you end up with, give it time to bre... | |
| Bi-wire using single or two cables? I would go with Type 6 bi-wire over double Type 2. For just a few dollars more, you might be able to get into a pair of Indigos. I am a big fan of AQ's older product lines. Type 6 uses the same configuration as AQ's higher-priced Indigo and Argent... | |
| New Audioquest cables vs. Old? This response may be a little off-subject, but I refuse to buy the new line because there is entirely too much cost differential. I currently own Green, Type 2, Type 6, Indigo, and Argent speaker cables. I think that Argent is the best bang for th... | |
| Musical Fidelity HT600? Eye, I had the same concerns that maybe this model was selling cheap because it was about to be discontinued. Based upon the response I got from AA and the fact that MF website shows it as a current product, I hope that this is just a stocking iss... | |
| Musical Fidelity HT600? The response I got from Audio Advisor is as follows: "We are out of stock at this time. We will have them back in stock in a while. We just took it off the site in the mean time." Musical Fidelity website still shows it as a current model and Audi... | |
| Musical Fidelity HT600? Does anybody know what's up with this? I visited the Audio Advisor website a while back and it looked like they were blowing these out cheap. Went back today and could not find it anywhere on site. When I did a search, I got a price of $995, but w... | |
| Best Monitor Up To 5K - Tube Friendly Your problem appears to be one of synergy. I think that Soliloquy and Silverline both build great products. I'm not sure they work well together though. Why not try a more flexible sub, like a REL, if you really like the Silverlines? You can get a... |
