    Stereo and 5.1 system: McIntosh, Vandersteen, Oppo...

    Mixing and matching components for three systems. Suggestions?

    Hi all, I'm putting together three systems out of the list of gear below. Any suggestions on what would match best and what to leave out?

    Jensen System 500 Speakers - rare find and a nice surprise!

    Thanks to all of you and this forum, ever since I got into vintage stereo I cant pass up on interesting speakers. To keep myself from buying everything I come across, I try to stick with rather rare and unusual model. Plus only if they are sold cheap (under $100). I already made a thread about...

    I've got my "perfect" setup. Any other AKers reach the proverbial finish line?

    Yesterday afternoon, I received the Velodyne VRP-1200 powered subwoofer I ordered via E-bay on 10/03/16 so as to replace an admittedly ancient 42-watt Aiwa TS-W5U 8" sub I was using with another two subs to fill in the bottom end of my system (I purchased it for home theater use in '96). I...

    Why are CD Players so uninteresting?

    i was thinking tonight about my gear, and in my collection, I have a Denon CD player in my reference system that is starting to go wonky. My thought is to replace it with one of the other units I have accumulated over the years. And then I thought, none of them are beautiful. They are all BPC...
