| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Jpaik, Thanks for the link. It looks like the Morrison speakers use more conventional drivers to achieve the same general effect as the Ohms. Interesting that he is rather fixated on the poor "quality" of most "stereo" recordings - have to wonder ... | |
| Rega Brio, Apollo, and R3? All good ideas. Here is a third twist:Music Hall Trio, Quad 21L-2 speakers (about $2300 new)The Music Hall Trio provides a quality CD player, integrated amp and AM/FM tuner in one box. It sounds nearly as good as the Music Hall separates suggested... | |
| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? OK. Mitch Mitchell. Check out his drumming on the live Hendrix recording from the Isle of Wight, or his work on "Cry of Love" and "Rainbow bridge", both co-produced by Mitchell and Eddie Kramer after Hendirx died (and now both available as part of... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman wrote:"I was wondering if you know whether the Ohms you heard were original (series 1 which first arrived in the early 80's), series 2, which I think started in the early-mid 90's through ~ 2005 or 2006, or series 3, which have only been av... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman,Agreed. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I have heard the Ohms and they sound very different to me than the Arros. The Arros throw a coherent (perhaps even etched) sound field across a broad area, but instrument and voice placement are fairly precise within the sound stage. The Ohms on t... | |
| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? Keith Moon | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Quad 21L version 1 are wonderful speakers and great bargain for the money in terms of sound quality and construction details. I have not heard but have read that the version two is even better than the version one in terms of improved detail, neut... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please If you are going to consider a jump up to the Silverline Prelude, then I heartily recommend the Totem Arro as a alternate slender floorstander in the same price category. The Arro is one of Totem's best sounding speakers, period. And it comes with... | |
| Best sounding CD player for under $500? The Oppo is a great bargain for a multipurpose player, but does not compete head to head with newer dedicated entry level HiFi red book players. You are paying for video and multichannel audio DACs and design compromises that dedicated players don... | |
| Is there a killer preamp for 1500? Are you ruling out a PrimaLuna ProLogue 3 new? | |
| Best Integrated Amp? Help... Dcstep,I hear you but watts usually cost about $25-$50 a piece in tube land, $10-$20 a piece in transistor land and $5-$10 each in switching amp land. For some perspective and sympathy with your point - the best I have ever heard the little B&... | |
| Best Integrated Amp? Help... Nope, don't own and am not selling any Blue Circle gear. I do like how they sound and have a soft spot for hand made gear from builders with a passion for music and elegant designs. Blue Circle gear is hand wired with no unnecessary circuits in th... | |
| Best Integrated Amp? Help... Good point about possibility of using existing integrated or pre and loading up downstream with watts and current in a separate box. JI2 originally asked for info about a new integrated - which led me to think they have need/want for both control ... | |
| Best Integrated Amp? Help... If separates are a possible track, that would be a whole different ball of wax. Shooting for decent sound, control and power in excess of 100W in a pair of even used separates for under 2 grand is a tall order.The product that immediately comes to... |
