I have found a local shop which sells most of the Naxos catalogue currently available. I am aware that CDs in the Naxos catalogue vary substantially in quality. My preferred (classical) repertoire is from the late-classical through to the end of the romantic period (although I am more than willing to try some of the excellent music outside this period). I am looking for recommendations (stating both pieces played and disk numbers if possible) of excellent Naxos recordings. I know Todd has posted a number of excellent in-depth reviews on these forums.

Hey everyone, I'm a poor college student going to school near Philadelphia, and I'd like to put together my first setup. About a year ago I ditched my Bose QuietComforts for a pair of Grado SR60s, which have been amazing. I'd like to do the same thing with my speakers, but I can only spend about $500.

From what I've gleaned from Stereophile's budget component reviews and the archives of this forum, both the PSB Alpha B1s and the Paradigm Atoms are good choices for bookshelf speakers.

I got a new headphone setup with k701 through E-MU 0404 USB with some headphone amps i borrowed(i haven't decided which one i want to buy). Although I like the headphones better than speakers, I still want a budget speaker sysetm.
I've been doing some reading, and I was thinking of the Super T power amp and PSB Alpha B1 hooked up to my e-mu 0404 USB.

The question is, am I missing something in that chain? and is super T power amp enough for that speaker? There are so many different numbers and I'm confused (especially the watt thing)

Any input on the merits of these two in comparison and contrast to each other considering a $4000 to $5000 difference in price?

Thanks,

- Jeff
