Hi,

I'll appreciate your input on the following speakers, which are intended to be the main ones for music listening. No Sub at this point due to $$, but might add one down the road-

Dali Concept 2 - $370/pair
Infinity Primus 162 - around $250/pair, online
Paradigm Atom Monitor V.5 - $$ unknown yet
Paradigm Alpha B1 - $$ unknown yet

I've heard the Dali's and loved them. Big and clear sound. Could not compare to the others above yet, but I wonder if it's worth the hunt.

Thanks very much

Disappointingly, none was included with the article. So, for those interested, here is a link:

I've read good things about this combo, but unable to demo them locally. How would this combo compare to a Naim 5i, Rega Mira, YBA YA201, or the Cambridge Azur 840A. I know that I'm comparing separates to integrated, but I'm looking for an entry level system with a budget about $1500 for the amp.

Hi all,

Newb here. Musician, studio guy, so I'm into audio, just not on the level most Stereophiles are on. But here's my situation:

Hi there,

I hope this is not too stupid a question, but what causes the speakers to be muted while listening to headphones through a headphone amp?

My current integrated amp has a built-in headphone socket and I need to switch off A and B speakers, otherwise there will be a terrible racket in the house. If you are using a headphone amp and the speaker A/B switch-off facility is not available on the amp, does the headphone amp automatically mute your speakers? Or, do you always require a mute feature of some sort?

Thanks!

...and holidays.

I will be spending my time eating lechon asado y arroz con gandules and spinning lots of salsa!

I really enjoyed Art's initial article on the WTRP and the fact that it also made it back into the Recommended Components list. I've been a happy owner of the Well-Tempered Turntable Classic (the original, which is like a beefed up version of the Record Player Art reviewed)for almost 20 years now and it's operated flawlessly. I could add a number of thoughts on how great the 'table is but I wanted to address his concern about the platter's concave shape.

Hi guys;

This is my first post on this forum. I've been reading some interesting reviews on the net regarding the Zu speaker line, especially the druids. Anybody heard these speakers? If so what were your impression? I'm particularly interested in their standmounts the "tones" but impressions reagarding any of their speakers is appreciated. They all share the same "single driver" concept so a lot of the sonic characters will be similar.

Thanks...
