Best Wiring Srategy for Monitor/Sub Stereo Listening

Bookshelf vs Floorstanding

Hi!

I went to some places because I am looking to upgrade my audio system some time soon. Right now, I am looking at a Rotel integrated amplifier (RA-1062), delivering 60 watts per channel using 8 ohms, to use with my Rotel RCD-1072 CD player. At some place I went, a guy told me I should look for Bookshelf rather than Floorstanding speaker with that kind of amplification. I was wondering if anybody could give me some advice.

Thank you

Record Clamp recommendations for Denon DP-47F

Hello All,
I haven't visited this forum in a while. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a Record Clamp for my beloved Denon DP-47F.
I trying to find a record clamp that fits the following criteria: a)Won't strain my turntables motor, b)Allows me to close the dust cover and c)Won't cost me a fortune(It's tough being an audiophile on a tight budget).
If anyone has some suggestions I would be glad to entertain them.

Many thanks;

Modding Crossover In Energy 2.3 speakers

I was wondering What peoples opinions are on uprading the Caps, wiring and resitors In these speakers. I was speaking to one of these Modding guru's and I was told that I could upgrade my caps. My question is dont you have to know a little about the drivers to keep a balance. My fear Is that my speakers will become too bright. The caps that were suggested are V-caps. Does anyone know anything about these caps?

Here it is in a nutshell: Price vs. quality

This weekend a friend of mine called me for advice. It seems he is ready to make the move to high end audio but looking through Stereophile and going to two audio dealers convinced him that he was going to have to spend more than $15,000 to get a "decent" system to which he said "I am not in a position to spend that kind of money right now".

Revel's Ultima Salon2

I can safely post this one as I won't have to edit it:

The Salon2s are a cosmetic downgrade from the Salon1s. The Hansens are the new Revel Ultimas!

The Revel first series had a beautiful and immediately recognizable design that they should have been able to improved upon. Instead, now, we have those ugly speakers. I don't care if they sound better.
