What type or kind of electronics ss.,tubes, sep..


seperates,integrated,amplification, watts/power,etc...should I demo.to realize the highest level of sonics from my new Spendor SP100's? I have heard that Naim gear matches well? What other brands should I consider? I listen to mostly acoustic/folk and come classic 60's-70's rock. Listening room 20x20. Thanks for any help.

I'll say it a second time a little more accurately. You cannot tame reflections and reverberation problems with frequency equalizers. You can't get away with not working on the room.
Hi Ricky:

Listening room 20x20? To get the best out of your speakers do some work on your room. Visit Rives Audio site (he posts here). You cannot correct room resonance with equipment equalization or equipment tweaking although I think a lot of folks spend a lot of time and money trying. Really oversimplifying things, the common dimensions (20x20) will strongly reinforce the same frequency at a little over 28Hz and multiples thereof (56,112). Rives has a little software and a cd that, at about $70, will be $$ well spent. A pittance compared to the cost of the speakers, much less your complete system. The software is CARA 2.1 Plus which I have, and like very much, and he has a cd which from reading about it, is better than the one CARA offers.

If you have already done the room thing then kindly disregard this message.

Sincerely
I remain,
