| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. B&W 804S is my nomination. Excellent all around sound, easy to drive, well designed, well made and looks very good, too. | |
| would B&W work with cheap japanese recievers? No, I doubt you would realize any meaningful sonic improvement by switching your Yamaha receiver for another receiver. Yamaha receivers are pretty good. However, you could realize a heap of meaningful sonic improvement by taking that $1K-2K and up... | |
| the best bookshelf speakers for Krell400 xi I have had no problems with the SACD Standard. I was concerned about noise from the Phillips chip before I bought it but the fact that it was the perfect match for the 400xi caused me to overlook it. In using it daily for 8-16 hours at a time (its... | |
| the best bookshelf speakers for Krell400 xi I have a system with Krell KAV400xi, Krell SACD Standard and Aerial Model 5b speakers with the custom stands. I couldn't be happier with this combo. Strongly recommend that you audition the Aerials with the Krell | |
| opinions on bookshelf monitors: proac v. ae The Aerial Acoustics Model 5b are certainly worth an audition. Very smooth dynamic sound, can listen to them forever without fatigue. I picked them over the Totems, B&W 805, and Paradigm Sig S2s, all of these are very good, too. The 5b is a ni... | |
| 12K new/used to spend B&W 802D are IMO the best at anywhere near the price. The Stereophile review got it pretty much exactly right. I would only add that they sound great no matter the volume -- low or loud. Aerial 9's are nice but no match -- you would need to go... | |
| Speakers to mate with a Krell Intergrated I have a Krell KAV400xi integrated with Aerial Acoustics Model 5b speakers. Very smooth and clear sound. I also heard this integrated with the Aerial Model 6 floorstander -- better bass but same smooth sound. I went with the bookshelf for space co... | |
| Anyone listened to Aerial 9's? I auditioned them and thought they were very good but they were IMO totally outclassed by the B&W 802Ds. | |
| How good are the Paradigm Studio 20 V3 ? I am powering a trio (LRC) of P'digm 20V3s with a Pioneer Elite VSX-54TX receiver in our game room. I have some JMLab Micro Utopia BEs also, which in an A/B comparison are a little better, clearer, but cost 6X the price. Because it was a close cal... | |
| Are B&W 802D's a good match with Mcintosh MA6900? I have 802Ds hooked up to an Anthem AVM20/MCA 20, which is 200 watts per channel and they sound great. The MA6900 should be an excellent match. But if you have any doubt, I second the suggestion that you take the amp to the dealer to hook up the 8... | |
| B&W JM Labs or Paradigm Signature S8.....Help? I have the JMLab Micro Utopia Be's with a Velodyne DD15 subwoofer. I think this is a spectacular system for the money. Much better to my ears than the B&W 803Ds or P'digm S8s. I use these in a 5.1 system with the Utopia Center and 907s for sur... |
