| Rega Saturn no longer reads CD's These recurring problems with the Rega Apollo/Saturn is the reason I've kept my Planet 2000. | |
| All vandersteen users ? I get excellent sound and loud enough for me with a CJ CAV-50 45W integrated tube amp, with Vandy 2ce sigII. Of course my room is 14x16x8 ft.Vinny | |

| Best budget speakers for near-field/small space I have owned the B&W 685 but traded up. They are very good speakers but I don't think they would perform well in the near field.The A5 sounds more like what you may want or the Era Design 5.Vinny | |

| Tube integrated amps I'm driving Dahlquist DQ-20's in a medium sized room with a CJ CAV-50 (45 watts/per). I believe the DQ-20's are rated ~86 db (not sure of the if they are 4 ohm nominal). They get plenty loud for me. | |
| Klipsch Speakers for a low power tube amp. Hi, I responded to another post of yours on the same subject. I was expecting the horn tweeter of the RB-81 to drive me out of the room. The speakers were bright at first but in a short while everything smoothed out and now I don't know what all t... |
