This is a direct quote from a forum member who has listed the numerous members he has placed on "ignore".

It would appear to raise the question, what is the purpose of a discussion forum?

Good morning,

This is my first post as a new member to his forum. My hobby is collecting and restoring old tube radios and I recently had the good fortune to acquire a Quad II stereo system consisting of 2 amps, the tuner as well as the controller.

Could some one tell me what are the differences in sonic charecteristics of a box type speaker (eg. the Harbeths and Spendor Classics) vs more commonly found tower type floor standing speakers and why? Is one of them more ideal? Usually the bookshelf speakers are like boxes and if we were to make floor standers I would expect the same aspect ratio for the cabinet or vice versa (but I have never seen thin looking hifi bookshelf speakers)...any comments.

Hi

Anyone got any experience with these pre/powers ?

Any thoughts or comments welcome

Hi all, this is my first post

I am a college student, and I have always loved my music, so I have decided to save up and build myself a hi-fi stereo system this summer (I am currently using a Bose Companion 2 Speaker System......not quite hi-fi lol).

I'm looking for several people near me (Western Connecticut, Northern NJ, NYC) to loan a single full-range loudspeaker for an interesting research project. If willing, please email me from my personal site www.ethanwiner.com including your real name, address, and phone number.

So I finally completed my setup. This is my first stereo setup ever, it was assembled with new and used equipment and consists of:

B&W 683 speakers
Adcom GFA5300 amp
Musical Fidelity E20 preamp
Rega P1 Turntable
