| The best looking speakers PMC Twenty5 series is very easy on the eye, they almost disappear in a good way. Very good in Scandinavian style interiors with parquet floors. | |
| Raidho D1.1 is now a Legacy speaker In Denmark you would never get 40-50% discount of a Raidho speaker. It seems you have to ship them across the pond for that. | |
| New Buyer - speakers DynAudio Contour 1.1 or 1.3se I once traded 1.3se for Harbeth P3Esr and it was a terrible mistake. The Dyns were much, much better speaker. | |
| Buyer is claiming damage that was done by him! Only the P3esr grills can be removed with your fingers. Sometimes. All other models require the use of a magnet or i.e. screwdriver, which will always damage the fabric. Pulling by the fabric (which is often done) will surely rip it. | |
| Bookshelf Recommendations LS50 is recommended by many, but be a little cautious. I have owned them and the wireless ones as well, one thing they don't do is timbre. Speakers like Harbeth, Proac, Reynaud etc do timbre, the LS50 is a all-around good speaker, but not for afic... | |
| Why the facination with integrated amps? The price of good cables (ic and pc) plus good equipment support (space issue) is enough to go for an integrated. | |

| Classical Music for Aficionados Britten: Peter Grimes, conducted by Britten/Decca. An outstanding 1959 recording of the popular opera. | |
| Aftermarket Fuses Tipped up highs and tighter or less bass is "better" to many people with (too) big speakers in damped rooms. And those qualities are not difficult to get with an aftermarket fuse. | |
| We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses They are interesting little things for sure but in a carefully balanced system they can tip the balance to an undesirable direction. Many people have systems and rooms where any brightness seems to be welcome and is perceived as "detail". | |
| Best sounding compact integrated amp < $2k? The Hegel H90's DAC is very good as long as you use the spdif rca input. Usb input is the culprit. I own the amp and it certainly belongs to the top3. | |
| Which integrated amp? Why not the new Hegel H190? Hegel's price-performance is incredible. | |
| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? I personally find it cheesy to get a stereo system with matching colors just for the sake of... matching colors. | |
| Graphene in fuses and cost Synergistic Research - endorsed by Tom Cruise. That and the fact that my two Black fuses blew in three weeks is enough to avoid them. |
