| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band Henry Mancini, Big Latin Band. Not what it sounds like. Great tunes that drive hard and the recording quality is top shelf. | |
| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation How can you not have room for a 12X12 inch foot print? | |
| best match power amp for Acoustic Research AR 3 The design of the AR-3 required a lot of power. I think around 150wpc would be about right and they will take more. | |
| Acoustic Research AR-3 The AR3a was a good speaker in it's day but it is long ago obsolete. I don't think I would repair a non-working pair. They do look great and have solid cabinets but the drivers are fairly low quality compared to today's designs. I'm not sure it's ... | |
| Hot Stamper - myth or reality? As most know records are made from stampers which are made from mothers which are made from the master. The closer you get to the master, the better the pressing. You surely don't want the 10,000th copy from the 6th mother if you can get one that ... | |
| Some irrefutable truths about rock and roll What is this Boo-gee Woo-gee music you are talking about? | |
| Just a bit to bright Runnin has it right. Get rid of the stranded speaker cable. If that doesn't do it, you will have to kill the tweeter with a resistor. Contact the manufacturer for recommendations. | |
| Afraid to buy new speakers When you say they have to be close to the wall, what does that mean? You can't pull them out one foot? They have to be against the wall? No wiggle room at all? | |

| Tube Amp for Martin Logan Speakers I use a pair of Quicksilver Mini-Monos (25 watt) on my ML Electromotion ESLs. I'm using the subwoofers crossovers to take some of the load off the amps. It plays loud enough for me and it will play loud enough for condo use but it is at the very l... | |
| about Magnepan and power Use control and common sense. Just about any loudspeaker can be damaged by loud volumes. The Maggies can take a beating but everything has limits. If you are deliberately trying to find a weakness I'm sure you can but Maggies are very robust. I'd ... | |
| grills or no grills on your speakers..matters? Polk432 has it right. It depends on the system, the speaker, the grill. | |
| 'Holographic Sound Stage?' I totally agree with Martykl. Nothing else to add. | |
| Belle Klipsch VS La Scalla? I'm a Klipsch fan (I have 2 pairs, one pair a factory custom) but I'm also an advanced audiophile and there are plenty of speakers that sound better than heritage Klipsch. Have you looked at the Reference or the Palladium series? Very nice soundin... | |
| Best Used Amps. for Infinity RS-1B Speakers Lots of choices really. Some of it will depend on how loud you want to play, the RS1Bs need some power. The 120 watt Brystons are going to run short of power. I run my woofers with a Parasound A21 that's a nice cheap amp that sounds good. I have a... |
