| Is Budget Audiophile an oxymoron? Someone asked about my budget. I assumed that using the RP 600ms at apx 500 a pair, along with an older Yamaha (at the most $100) would give a general idea of my recent budget. gkelly suggested a sub, and many were 700 -800; that's fine vs spendin... | |

Some have used the term negotiation 101 and given their answer. I would start with Selling 101 first. Ho... | |
| Looking for speakers in a large vaulted great room From a different perspective, I have a similarly sized, vaulted, living room and eventually went with Maagepanes because of the ease of moving them out from the wall, as needed, to enjoy music, and easily moving them back against the wall to enjoy... | |

| Rogue Audio Sphinx V3 Integrated Amplifier / Separate Phono Preamp Hi, As I mentioned in my OP, I'm having an emotional desire to upgrade based on a recent Paul McGowan post regarding Phono stages.

| Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k) I too went from review to review for speakers in by budget. Eventually I purchased a pair and am enjoying them. However recently I watched a video on YouTube where Steve Guttenberg talks about the "type" of speakers that are available and what "t... | |
