| bose 801 speakers Years ago, I had Bose 601’s. I bought some "Audiophile approved" speakers and gave the 601’s to my Brother, along with a Pioneer receiver, and a CD player. Mainly because he is too cheap to buy anything, but enjoys listening to Tom Waits, and lots... | |

| Most musical, enjoyable affordable amplifier The most enjoyable listening , out of scores of amps, tube and ss, I have ever enjoyed, is the humble little Dynaco ST-35 with Mullard el-84's, and a Pass First Watt F6 clone built from Pass article ,and DIY Audio web site.Class A does it for me. | |
| Full-Range to Monitors I have tried many full range speakers in my room. Big Infinity Rennasaince 90's, Magnepan mg1.6, Horns. I just could not get them to throw a credible stereo image in my 12' by 24' long room. I have gone to Proac 1sc, with Marchand, line level, pas... | |
| First Watt vs McIntosh vs Ampzilla I use a First Watt F6 with Proac 1SC. I second it for Nelson Pass amps. Class A Mosfets ,with lots of bias juice sounds incredible. IMHO.Mg16 | |
| Now, I'm confused. I disagree that changing preamps will not give you are wider soundstage. Definitly try a tube preamp. I had owned Adcom 555 in the past. While they can be a very good sounding piece of equipment, they can be somewhat cold and clinical, especially ... | |
| Roger Waters Amused To Death I second The Final Cut, as my favorite. Its an emotionally moving, anti-war themed, well recorded , album. OP makes some valid points about Amused to Death. | |

| Greatest Rock Drummers He's was not rock, but Buddy Rich was the greatest drummer who ever lived. He had 4 seperate brains. One connected to each arm, and one for each leg. He played seperate rythmic patterns with each appendage at the same time. I used to stay up late ... | |
| Done buying new vinyl Used vinyl all the way. I have yet to hear a new release that sounded as good. Missing some magic. Somehow, they seem better at recording and mastering/pressing, in the 70, 80's, early 90's vinyl I buy. Check Discogs for mint and mint minus copies. | |

| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp Ditch the the lower octaves of bass, and let the 300b drive a medium efficiency speaker of your choice from 125-150 hz. On up. Do this by using a 4th order active xover unit, and subwoofer. I used a 300b amp with 89 db. Infinity Qb's with ribbon t... | |
