But I wish he'd give that amp more ventilation.

[first post]
i wasn't sure whether this should go in Amplification, or Loudspeakers, but since i'm not changing my amp...

my system is an Aleph 5, with a Mark Levinson No. 28 preamp.
i've been wanting to upgrade my speakers [from thiel cs 0.5].
is anyone running B&W 801 or 802 [matrix] with an Aleph 5?

i've always loved the sound of these speakers, but with other amplification, and i wondered if the Aleph has enough grunt to run them.

thanks!

Hi
I was wondering if Martin Logan speaker is in similar league with B&W and Paradigm
or it is one of those I should avoid. (Martin Logan Source in particular)

Also, the dealer told me that Marantz PM7001 has been discontinued
and showed me Marantz PM8003 and Arcam A-18
is there particular reason PM 7001 was suggested?
what is you guys opinion on PM8003 and A-18?

Thanks!!

Can anyone recommend some good websites or even books that would give me a great primer on horns? I am a complete agnostic when it comes to them & it's high time that I start to learn more about them. Thanks.

Hi, I thought I'd post this here as there are more people looking here. I'm looking to buy some speakers for my MP3 player. Idealy they would be portable as it would be used buring BBQs and parties in the garden. Any suggestions as to which speakers would be best. I've been looking at harman/kardon go and play, what do you think?

Does anyone here own one?

Listened to one?

Opinions?

Good ? Bad? Other wise?

Hi!

I just bought a Mini Theater System from PSB (with a Subseries 1 sub, 4 Alpha LR1 speakers and 1 CLR1 speaker) with a Sony STR-DA2400ES AV receiver.

When I look at the specification of my speakers, the impedance for the LR1 is 6 ohms nominal and 4 ohms minimum and for the CLR1 is 8 ohms nominal and 6 ohms minimum. On my AV receiver, I can choose either 8 or 4 ohms, but the configuration applies for all of my speakers at the same time.

I would like to know which configuration should I choose.

Thank you

So I started to read the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" megabox review with keen interest, because I wanted to know if the included LP was good enough of a justification for me to splurge on the box. But, surprise, no mention of how the vinyl sounded at all!!! (Or did I just read the review too quickly?) Just that it's blue & gimmicky, which is an obvious point! Can we get a considered, non-snarky comment on the LP, too, please, since it's a big part of the box that's under review? Thanks.
