Just happened to be listening to 'I'm A Loser" by The Beatles when I read this post. Mike

Hi fourwheels. I'm not sure what "very nice" means, but for $300 for either an amp, a preamp or an intgegrated you should go used. Any of the brands already mentioned are quality stuff. Check out Audiogon for used components. Mike

Today (yesterday actually) I ripped a bunch of tracks off various albums by the following: > Metalica (metal metal) :yes: > Morbid Angel (morbid metal) :sigh: > Napalm Death (death metal) :sadwave: > NIN (industrial metal) :bash: > White Zombie (zombie metal) :eek:

Hi Arkay. Here is the link to the MF website in the UK: http://www.musicalfidelity.com/ You might contact them for info on your mystery box. Mike

My rule of thumb for speakers that have between 87dB and 91dB sensitivity is to drive with 30% more wattage than the max recommended by the speaker manufacturer. My goal is to ensure that at moderately loud (not very loud) levels, the woofers are pumping at max efficiency. My current...

Hi Barredowl. In 1971, AR speakers were the best mid-priced speakers on the market. Unfortunately, at the time I could not afford source components that would do justice to the AR2's capabilities (entry level Sony reel to reel and Techics TT; Kenwood 30w x 2 receiver). I think the AR2s went...

I'm with stupid. What brand is "MMG"? :drool: Mike

Hi Alexdad The Parasound New Classic 2100 Preamp is a good match with the New Classic 275 amp (2 x 75w @ 8ohms). Audio Advisor sells these for $650 for the pre and $550 for the amp. You would need speakers with a decent sensitivity (like at least 89dB) with a 75w amp. Have you considered...

AR2 (1971) Wilson Cubs (2000) Dali Ikon6 (present)

Current version of Wilson Alexandria.

When I was in the Army stationed in Frankfurt, Germany, 1970, I bought a Kenwood 2 x 30w receiver and a pair of AR2 bookshelves at the Air Force PX in Ramstein. The combo sounded incredible for the price - probably $400 in today's currency. My guesss is that Kenwood was putting out 50w into...

What About Love by Heart Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd (is this winning?) Jessica by Allman Brothers Still In Love With You by The Scorpions

In most of the high end systems I have seen, 1 or 2 subs are run even with true full range towers. For example, Wilson Audio makes subs (1 big powered one and 1 even bigger passive one) for use with its full range speakers. Mike

Hi Punman. My only concern about the KEF is that the 3dB FR goes down to only 30Hz. For realy visceral LFE movie effects, I like to gat down to at least 25Hz. For my home theater, I use 2 Sony PSW 2500s (same model # as the KEF). The Sony is a 10" x 100w sub that gets down to 28Hz. They...

I'm a huge PJ fan. I think they are the best non-60s band out there. I have all of thier CDs, including the singles and I think there is one triple track. I saw them live at a small baseball stadium in FT. Lauderdal, Fla, back September '96. They were awesome. The only better concert I've...
