| Recommended integrated amp for Sonus Faber Venere S You are not a tube guy? Some people swear by it - gives it that warm lively sound signature.

| In need of advice on speaker choice If you don't mind used, L-100 can be had for less than $1000 on ebay and craigslist. 4430 sounds even better for around $2500 second hand. You might have to redo the x-over on very old ones though.Youtube has demos on them. https://www.yout... | |

| Surprised at this Chinese powered speakers for peanuts... I completely agree with you Garcia...They are bi-amp-ed while the Audio Engines are not so treble sounds better to me, although Audio Engines are good too.

| Home Theater System (Speakers) If you don't mind used, you can get a used Krell 5.1 processor for $500 off ebay these days, and it sounds better than getting a surround receiver as you know. For speakers, I like Dali Zensors - I wouldn't say they are the next level up from yo... | |
| Good starter speaker I would recommend you to skip the entry level speakers and go right to the next level up, as they will give you more liquid smooth sound with transparent highs (pleasant treble). Among the ones you mentioned, my favorite are the spendor, but then ... | |

| Surprised at this Chinese powered speakers for peanuts... DavidAntonio,Sorry for my mix up-the optical input is on the more economical model R1280DB - they are not bi-amped by the way, so less highs, but they too sound decent - Amazon choice speakers. | |
| Ohm Walsh 4s worth looking into ??? I enjoyed mine for their warm sound, although I too agree with the previous poster as them not being high level audiophile - still very enjoyable presentation. Let your ears be the final judge when it comes to matters of speakers... | |
| Looking for new speakers Have you heard Dali speakers?My next speakers...You can sort of get the idea of their clear mid due to wooden woofer and transparent highs on youtube...Search for Dali speakers sound test. | |
| New speakers or new amp - your thoughts You already have a nice system, so how about a power conditioner?Even a modest oneac from eBay would help to protect the electronics and improve the sound (bigger one the better for smoother sound)When you do upgrade, make sure it's enough of upgr... | |
