Okay, now that I've gotten excellent advices on speakers (thanks jackfish and Stephen), I have another either/or question. Harman Kardon HK3485 or Outlaw RR2150? Price-wise, HK just seems like a steal, but does the sound performance of Outlaw justify the price differential?

i have an onkyo integra integrated amp circa 1996 that is in good shape except that the source selector keeps rotating even when the knob itself is not moving.this happens as soon as i turn on the unit.therefore,my amp is unusable as it wont lock onto the sorce i want.anybody know what could be the cause of this,any solutions?

I see a lot of rave reviews for the Alpha B1's (view Stereophile votes Jan 2007). I own a pair of the more expensive Image B25's which I like but sometimes find they lack detail. Is it possible that the Alpha B1 is actually a better speaker than the B25? I even listened to the new Synchrony One B and was not that impressed - especially for the price they were asking.

Hello everyone

My first post here. Very recently I have become obsessed about audiophilia and exceptionally realistic sound quality from various sources (car system, portable audio player, etc). Now I am looking to buy my first ever audiophile equipment for my lounge (home), and budgets are limited. Can you guide me to the cheapest way of entry into audiophilia? I am not mentioning any price range because I have no clue about the cost of the cheapest equipment I can get new that counts as Audiophile grade!

Cheers

Hi , I have purchased a used pair of these speakers. I currently have a pair of paradigm speakers.They have a metal bridge to use if you dont want to bi-wire them. On the vandersteen speakers there was not one included, Is it possible to use a single cable. Someone told me to just use the high input. Please HELP !!!
