| Positioning B&W 802’s with spikes in hardwood? I would spike them into a cutting board/wood base plate. | |
| Perspective system advise needed. @hoping ...which does not necessarily have to be complicated to be great. I have a couple of "minimalistic" systems. One is a source, a tube integrated, and a pair of LS-50s. Very affordable and a decent sounding system. | |
| Need help. I need recomendations for amp, or amp/preamp Based on the design type alone you’re going to want a solid-state amp of 100 WPC minimum. Not a mass market receiver 100wpc. Quality power. | |
| Perspective system advise needed. You can have a nice system with any of the stuff listed in this thread. But you have severely limited your options for advancing your system. If you just want a music system you are fine, but if you want to grow and expand your knowledge and sound... | |

ASR’s long list of budget loudspeakers tells me all I need to know. ASR is not interested in exploring the li... | |
