    EV S15-3's, Parasound 2100, and Crown XLS1502......thoughts?

    Happy Holidays all! These EV's were my late fathers and I've tried at least six receivers of varying age/wattage/brand as well as a Yamaha integrated, and nothing seems to get those 15's making the noise their size suggests they should. I had the x-overs rebuilt with all totl caps and such...

    Power Amp Review: Emotiva XPA vs Parasound Halo

    The Emotiva XPA-7 is absolutely the heaviest piece of equipment I’ve ever tested. After barely managing to drag it up the stairs, I adjusted my rack to fit its massive 9.5″ height and got ready to listen. I’ve been looking to find a surround setup that I can also live with for music. And I was...

    Score.. Parasound SR250 and the story behind it

    So last week I scored a Yamaha R-500 to be a Christmas gift for the housemates. I got it home and while testing, realized it will need some attention. The backlight is out and the right channel cuts out a lot due to a combination of what seems to be some cold solder points and the input selector...
