    Shure V15 Type iii on a Dual 1019

    I think the 1019 arm has too much mass to work optimally with the V15 3. A 1219 or 1229 arm would be a better match.

    What are good speakers for people who love truly deep bass? (Worth less than $300)

    The Smaller Advent has at least another 1/2 octave of deep bass compared the A25. The A25 is good to 55 HZ or so and the Advent has useable 35 HZ bass. The resonant peak makes a lesser bass reproducer sound like it has more bass than it really does.

    Vintage (Pioneer) amp power values vs modern ones?

    To double the loudness you have to multiply the power 10 times. 200w will play twice as loud as 20w.

    Marantz TA170AV value?

    They sound quite good and have a lot of clean power. If you close your eyes you will swear you are listening to high quality separates. Because of the junky looks they sell for next to nothing.

    New Large Advent Upgrade, Suggestions?

    I used to run my doubles with a Dynaco St 410, Hafler preamp, AR tt with a Shure V15 type 3. That system would put the Grateful Dead in your living room.
