Special thanks to Bill and Tim for their extensive comments and advice.  I did get to hear the Larsen 4.2 today at a local dealer, and was impressed by the sound and the outstanding sound quality of the midrange and mid treble.  The top treble sou...

Thank you to gregm3 and to br3098 for their comments.To br3098. You mention that you "used to be" a Larsen dealer; If so, did you drop the line and why. My previous comment about the wide price difference between the models 4.2 and 6.2 was only to... 
Wharfedale Linton Heritage 85th Anniversary
I owned a pair of Denton 80th Anniversary speakers for two years as an alternative speaker. They did sound musical and engaging I did not find the highs shrill or edgy, but I could tell they were not all there and somewhat rolled off. If what Er...

"Dazed and Confused" about upgrading current speakers
Thanks to all who have respondedTo Mr. decibel1The CJ  PV-14L SE  is a line stage.  Therefore, can you explain what a passive pre-amp brings to the table and possibly improves the sound?? (especially an inexpensive one) Remember, I also have a CD ...

Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp
Thank you to all who have responded.  One of the reason I was considering the Khartago or Schmit  Vidar  is size.  I posted another thread a month ago about replacing my current BAT VK-200 with a smaller and lighter amp. The BAT at 70lbs  is heavy... 
Need to replace a BAT VK200 amp with a smaller and lighter but with equal sound quality.
   To rib61  I did not know that BAT offered a 225se  basic amp I never saw any listings on AG , or reviews. I am not worried about the power rating, but as noted above,only the size and weight of the amp.   I will check it out.  Thanks, S.J.

Need to replace a BAT VK200 amp with a smaller and lighter but with equal sound quality.
To  Meschi, Good suggestion about the amp stand siting side by side to the rack, but it would be a tight  fit in  proximity to the back of the speakers, either left or right. The problem again would be access to the back of the amp, and also the t...

Thanks to  those that responded. Surely the, Schitt amp is an unbelievable  bargain at $699. Though the Benchmark seems like the one to buy.  However BM claims they are currently sold out of this fabulous amp because of demand .However, I was not ... 
Can you get good quality sound on the short wall axis of a room??
Thank you to all who have responded.  I want to add that  there is no side  wall   for the left speaker because the room opens into the dining/kitchen area with a least 14 feet to boundary wall of the apartment.   I can place any box or tower spe... 
Eggleston Works speakers: Expensive, but are they worth the money??
Thanks you to all members who responded so far. The information has been helpful.  However, like a few members above I am going to have find a great deal on a pair of their speakers under $10,000 to afford them. That is why I mentioned the new Emm...
