Over at <I>Home Theater</I>'s website, Fleischmann's arch blend of understatement and geekiness is the sort of stuff I wish I could write consistently. A recommended daily read. Yes, I know him, and yes, I share an employer with him, but this encomium comes from the heart.

what speakers should I get?

Forums

I recently acquired a Kenwood KA-8006 amp. It is rated at 200 watts. This amp dates back to the mid 70's. My question for you knowledgable folks is, what kind of speakers should I get to match it?

So, what speakers should I get?

Rega P5 cartridge choices

I'm putting my new turntable system together (thanks to all to gave me great advice in my previous post) and I need some cartridge advice. My last turntable was a JVC AL-L2OR with linear tracking and my new table (hooray) is a used Rega P5 with an RB700 arm, needless to say I have quite a bit of catching up to do and alot of questions to ask.
