| How to improve XM Radio audio quality? If money is not an issue, get a high quality DAC such as McIntosh MDA1000. Although very expensive (around $8000), I've heard people swear that this makes any digital component sound like DVD-A. | |
| What is the MOST audiophile friendly city ??? I second Singapore. I know it's a little far from most of us, but when I lived there, I visited Adelphi building almost daily. The building is 5 or 6 stories tall and about 80% is filled with high-end authorized dealerships. I'm talking Krell, Can... | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Hi, I'm a big fan of McIntosh gear and have been for over a decade. My McIntosh MC7300 amp was originally bought by my father in the early 90s and I'm still enjoying it as much as I was back then. The logo bulb finally burnt out after 12 years of ... | |
| Give me a tube preamp that looks and sound great McIntosh C2200. Very musical tube preamp. | |
| Best headphones you've ever heard/used How about that Sony Qualia's $3000+ headphones? Has anyone heard of them? | |
| Which speaker should I buy? Please help. I haven't heard them myself, but if you care about how the speakers look, you'll go ga-ga over the Sonus Faber Stradivaris. They are by far the most gorgeous looking speakers I've seen. Oh, and I hear they sound pretty good too :) Many consider th... | |
| Large monitor/small floorstander suggestions? You can't leave out Totem Acoustic Arro floor standing speakers in this case. You can find numerous reviews on this tiny floor stander on the web and magazines. If small size and musicality are your top priorities, put these speakers on top of you... | |
| How good is the Lector CD player? Isn't the Alphatop Signature CDP, the top-of-the-line CDP for Lector? I've never heard of Hannibal before... http://www.docet-lector.com/alphas.htm | |
| Is 9'x11' too small? look at my system :) | |
| New Von Schweikert Models Are there any pictures of these new speakers online? I know it's early and the show room conditions are probably not optimal, but can someone compare the VR-4Sr to the Jr? | |
| Floorstanders for small rooms? Budget $1200 used Chiho, I got your answer. Totem Acoustics Hawk. I have pretty much the same taste in music and an even smaller room (8.5' x 11') These babies have very small footprint (6.75" x 9.5") and are only 36" tall, and they'll look good in any room, especi... | |
| Speakers with great high and mid range Definitely put Totem Acoustic Hawk or Forest or Mani-2 on your list. The Totems have an awesome high and mids. Also, I know they all mate well with the Rel Strata III. Good luck, | |
| Best speaker for small room for that you can afford a brand new Totem Acoustic Hawk. Please look at my system. my room is even smaller than yours. | |
| Need suggestions for new speakers under $5K Well Didactically, I was hoping you'd at least recommend me an "accurate" pair of speakers after all that, but it just ended up being a worthless reply in this thread. At this price point, no speakers or components are perfectly accurate. No pair... | |
| Subwoofer and Von Schweikert 4 series Although the VSA 4 series speakers have a well controlled bass extension, I don't think you should automatically rule out adding on a subwoofer or two. I've heard many real full range speakers and how much a good subwoofer can add to the dynamics ... |
