CES in Las Vegas
Quick answers to your questions:1) Its only for people in the audio trade. Now also it will be around $100 per person if you haven't registered before the deadline. 2) CES is much larger than the rocky mountain and also has much more than just aud... 
Sony Playstation 1 for a CD player ???
I bought one a couple years ago, it kept skipping. I then bought a second one on ebay. Same problem. Then finally a third cause they were so cheap. It happened again! I even opened it up to bias the laser as explained online. No help. The sound is... 
Computer speakers?
audioengine 2 will be fine for near field and a basic high end computer system. 
Finish Quality of Von Schweikert VR4jr's
I couldnt agree more, finish quality is different than build quality. And it was also a good point that the veneering and finishing has no effect what so ever on the sound of the loudspeaker. I have auditioned many beautiful looking speakers which... 
Finish Quality of Von Schweikert VR4jr's
I love it when people say that they dont pay for build quality but only pay for sound quality. The fact is that you still have to look at these speakers when you listen to them( unless you like listening in the dark), but the speakers should have ... 
Speakers to replace Proac Response 3's
I confess, i have not listened to proac 3's. But i have listened to 3.5s and d38, d100s. I currently own pairs of 3.8s and d15s for the bedroom. Although i would say that it is not entirely urgent to upgrade the 3s, they are stellar speakers, if y... 
Speakers to replace Proac Response 3's
Try going with paradigm studio 100's. I think you will spend the money wisely with these speakers. I actually own proac response 3.8s and a pair of d15, but if thats your budget and you dont want to go over you might want to stick with paradigm. A... 
Best Floorstander Under 10K?
go for the proac d38, it is great and sounds much more expensive than 8000. 
ProAc D15 good also for Rock?
I have a pair driven by 95w linn amplification. I do most of my listening with these speakers on jazz and country. Somehow I dont feel that the proac are feeling comfortable with heavy rock music( even though they can deliver the goods), light and... 
Any tweaks for Athena ASF-2's?
a quick one might be to tighten the drivers ( to the front baffle) with an allen wrench or whatever it takes, be careful not to overtighten or strip. This might improve the solidity and definition of the bass. I usually do it for the bass-mid driv... 
sonus faber, vienna acoustics, proac
I would anyday go for the Proac D15, this is mainly due for my bias for Proac speakers, but not fully. I believe the the d15's are better engineered and built, yes built better than even a sonus faber product. I have a pair and I can say that the ... 
ProAc D25 or ProAc 1SC + Sub
The response d25 should be compatible with small rooms. I am actually using a d15 in a 11*13( give ortake a few inches) bedroom system, and it has enough soundstaging and dynamics which nearly match my reference proacs in my larger room, wich is o... 
ProAc D25 or ProAc 1SC + Sub
I personally would go for the Proac D25, which is a very good speaker in its class. Its brand new, has excellent frequency response, down ported, and uses excellent driver from volt, I dont even think you need a subwoofer if you opt for the d25s. ... 
Best $3000 - $4000 loudspeaker?
Proac D15, only $3000 for a fun sounding, beautifully finished speaker. Check out the d25 is you want to spend a bit more to get a wonderful speaker with all the attributed of ones costing a lot more. 
Speakers For Rock
I would go for a used pair of Proac Response 3.8s. You might not think, but their 6.5 inch lower bass driver makes them ideal partners for good rock. You should find a decent pair around for about 3000-4000 used. I have them and their great with a...
