| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? For 250 watts of pure class A, a pair of Threshold SA/12e’s would definitely work, however if you find a pair, they would be well above $2000. Here’s a nice Threshold within your budget,http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649302974-threshold-s350-p... | |
| Which is Better? Musical Fidelty A5 (used) or new Rogue Sphinx?

| Tuner tragedy! Do a Google search for "vintage radio dial cord". It's available in different sizes, colors, and from many sources.Also, here's a link to McIntosh Tuner service manuals. There's 2 different ones for the MR71 and both have a stringing diagram.http:... | |
| THX Certified Power amps Just look at the back of the amp under the speaker connections. It states 6-16 ohms. Using a 4 ohm speaker will be very risky. Depending on it's impedance curve, it may work, but I'm thinking there will be a much greater chance that it will not an... | |
| Center Channel ricred1,The issue is not comparing one center speaker to another, it's as you say,"the center should match the fronts."With stereo only the image is created by 2 identical speakers. A different L&R would not create much of an image. Now with a... | |

| New Two Zone System - I'm out of my League Matt, there are some other ways to accomplish what you want to do with using an AV Receiver or HT Processor. Can you list all of the source components and do all need to play in both locations. If not, how will they be used? | |
| What PrimaLuna tube amp / integrated or not will work best with B&W 804 standard speakers After spending over 25 years working in the audio industry and having experience with many models of B&W, including the 804S, I am in agreement with the comments about power in this review.http://www.whathifi.com/bw/804s/reviewAs unsound said,... | |
| What PrimaLuna tube amp / integrated or not will work best with B&W 804 standard speakers Can you be more specific about the model number of your speakers? Assuming they are not the Diamond or "D" series, then prior to those was 804S, then N804, and Matrix 804. | |
| Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP Here's another interesting read about connectors for 75 ohm cable.http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/75ohmrca.htmIMHO, the difference you heard between the two cables was greatly affected by the connectors and the length of the cable.

| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! I could just post a "+3", but I'll try to explain." tls49... going to listen at higher levels and will see how many lights illuminate. I was at only 10 o'clock volume the other night and 4 of the lights lit up. "When that 4th light blinks, that m... | |
| Best speakers under $500? Fire away! "I think I have narrowed down my choices to the ELAC Debut B6 and Wharfedale Diamond 10.1. Both are roughly $259 shipped and can be returned easily. Sensitivity is 86/87db for both."Keep in mind that because both are 6 ohm speakers, that sensiti... | |
| NO Side Speakers in an atmos system? You will need to use the surround channels (side) even if the speakers are on the rear. The basic 5.1, front L&R, center, surround L&R, and subwoofer are all discrete audio channels and should always be used. Everything else is created by ... |
