    Good Speakers for HF-20

    I’m new to Audiokarma. My backup vacuum tube stereo (in the bedroom) is a pair of Eico HF-20s. I bought them 15 years ago when they were still inexpensive and just dusted them off. Right now I’m using them with a pair of Optimus Pro 7 speakers that I already had in my ham shack. Can anyone...

    Older Paradigm bookshelf speakers: Atom V1 vs Mini Monitor V2

    Hi all, my first post, so go easy on me! :) I'm looking at getting a small-ish set of bookshelves for a compact 2.0 system in the living room for music. Still considering receivers but have my eye on an old Harman Kardon HK395i (looks nice, slim, should be powerful enough?) For speakers...

    Marantz 2220B - speaker pairing

    I know this question has been posted quite often, but I wanted to get an updated opinion from all of you regarding great speakers to pair with the 2220B. This is going in my home office, where I do most of my listening. Space is an issue, so nothing too large. I use my system for listening to...

    Polk Audio Monitor 7 vs 10

    I'm looking to upgrade my speakers a little bit from my current "ok" but cheap Technics sb 2665 speakers to something a bit nicer. I'm currently trying to decide between a pair of Polk Monitor 7b's or a pair of Polk Monitor 10a's, both are similarly priced and appear to be in good working...

    In a Pinch: Vintage Polk Audio Speakers or new Klipsch R24s?

    I was waiting on buying a Klipsch system because of their reputation for quality, but after a few months I got impatient. I bought a pair of vintage Polk Audio RTA-12B floor standing speakers (I paid $150 but they retailed at about $1000 30 years ago). I also have a 12 inch Jamo subwoofer that I...

    A place to listen in Greenville, SC?

    I can read speaker and equipment reviews online forever... But I'll never discover my own personal preferences without listening to a verity things side by side or in different combinations and spaces. Does anyone know of a club, store, or trade shows I could go to in or around the Greenville...

    Original Advent Loudspeaker replacement

    Hi all, I currently have a Luxman R-115 running a pair of original Advent loudspeakers (had the speakers rebuilt a few years back). Sounds fantastic! That said, I'm itching for a change lately, and I think you'd likely tell me to start with the speakers. Is there a worthy (modern) replacement...
