| Gallo reference /TAS vs Me I had some Ref3's for about a month and drove them with the complete opposite end of the amp spectrum. I kept my Innersound ESL 300 MKIII amp, per the suggestion of the guys at Gallo, and had great results. I whole heartedly agree about facing the... | |
| speaker with high WAF Cain and Cain's, all of them are absolutely beautiful. Also, I don't like the speakers but MartinLogan's look great. I have a solution as well. I have had Magnepan 1.6qr's and now 3.6R's, and my wife loves the sound hates the look. But, they are s... | |
| Martin logan vs. B&W Well Stravinsky's the Firebird would sound better on the B & W's, a Beethoven piano concerto would sound much better on the Martin Logan's. That said, I really have trouble with hybrid speakers in general. The sound differences between the ver... | |
| Subwoofer for under $1000-new, used, or DIY For musical bass, Vandersteen 2wq is the only sub you can get for under $1000 (used) that is what you have described. It is not a "Rumble Box" as mentioned above, but perfectly compliments speakers such as mini monitors, true ribbons, or electrost... | |
| what speakers for 4k or less new or used OK, back again: Maggie 3.6R. There is a reason most people who have ever owned Maggie buy again. Simply the best speaker made. Ethereal. | |
| Anthem processors: AVM20 v. AVM30 v. D1 In the last 2 years I have had: NAD T762, used as a premap for the front end, B & K Ref 50, Rotel 1098, Parasound Halo C2 (great processor), then finally the Anthem. I am sticking with the Anthem. As I said, my dealer let me test drive the D1 ... | |
| Anthem processors: AVM20 v. AVM30 v. D1 about $700. I have them 5, 3, and 15 months, and no problems.Good luck. | |
| Anthem processors: AVM20 v. AVM30 v. D1 OK, I have an AVM 30 and it is AWESOME!! That said, I listened to and test drove the D1 from my dealer. With my equipment at the time, Innersound ESL 300 amp, Maggies 3.6R speakers, Velodyne DD-12 sub, Onkyo DS-1000 player, Sony 50" LCD, I didn't ... | |
| Vandersteen 5a's - an upgrade from Vienna mahlers? Vandy's, Vandy's, Vandy's. One of the best speakers I have ever heard. I put them up with the Quad 989's, Magnepan 20.1's, SoundLab Ultimates, and Wilson's (just about all). There is so much good stuff out there now, isn't there? | |
| Processor hunt....does this animal exist?? Krell HTS series, Meridian (pricey, but really reall good), Parasound C2, Anthem AVM 30 (D1 if you have the budget)!! | |
| Best versatile speakers? Cool. I wonder why there are not more active speakers out there? Paradigm made some great ones a few years back and no one wanted them until they stopped making them. Could you follow up when you get them? Enjoy. | |
| Best versatile speakers? I agree with Nickway on the Maggies, I think they are great on Rock music, not as good as Paradigms or the Gallos (which I own), but they definitely have other advantages. I don't listen to modern lyric poetry set to music written and recorded by ... | |
| Best versatile speakers? In your price range there are a bunch. My fav's would be Gallo Nucleus Ref 3, Magnepan 3.6R used (my fav for sure), Paradigm 100 V3 (great speaker), Vandersteen 3a sigs used, Joseph Audio Monitors. It's so subjective. I really think each speaker h... |
