I've been reading Stereophile for some time, and get the impression that JA is a man of fewer superlatives than average, which I admire. I might be wrong, but could sense in his review of the KEF 207/2, that he was ready to gush, but managed to hold back. The 207/2s are truely wonderful speakers, the second greatest KEF has ever built - and I'm not talking about the Muons.

Hey, im new to this forum. My dad passed down a somewhat vintage stereo to me, its a Fisher Studio Standard, model CA-860. It came with the integrated stereo amplifier, am/fm tuner, cassette deck, turntable, the two studio standard speakers that sound amazing and a pioneer disk changer. This unit has worked perfect for over 15 years and when i received it i used it a lot so it has some sentimental value to it.

I'm a newbe to the forum but I am about to buy speakers for my system. I an entry level Sony Receiver STR-DE598 and want to utilize the 5.1 surround. Right now I have a PS3 pushing the optical cable for 5.1 surround. I have a Kenwood CS-V610 center channel and want to get a descent pair of front left/right speakers. I am looking at the Bose 201, I need for them to be around the $225.00 mark for a pair. Can anyone point me in the direction for a descent pair of front L/R speakers for my system? Are the Bose allright or should I look at a different brand?

Is there a sonic difference between a 100 watt intergrated amp and a 100 watt power amp?

Hi, I'm a home recordist. I have some studio reference monitors that are pretty darn good but are a 2.1 system. I haven't really had a viable studio in quite a few years, but am trying to put one together since moving to Thailand.
Someone I can no longer get in touch with, bought some Audiophile quality monoblock preamps made here under the management of a guy from the US, I believe. Does anyone know about these, this guy, or how to get in touch with him?

Hi, I have a Technics 1200 with a Grado blue cartridge. Im running into a Pioneer Elite receiver which has a phono input. Even though it has a phono input, the turntable is rather quiet. Any suggestions on how I can get this working better?

Thanks
