Arjun,

$1300 - $1500 is a tough ball park to be with no equipment. Holding off or focusing on strictly used is probably your best option. Having said that, I would follow Plainoledave suggestion....

Intel92,

All prices are MSRP so you should be able to look around and save the extra $400. You are probably going to need a rack for the equipment and stands for the speakers, but it all depends...

Arjun,

What equipment do you currently have? What are you using to play music right now? Will that be your music source going forward? If your only setting up a music lounge, you probably don't...

Arjun,

List your budget for the speakers and the amp. It's tough to tell what your budget actually is. Someone on here might be in your areaand be willing to let their hoarded set go for a decent...

You have already answered your own question. Why fart around? You already know you want to try your long lost love on some tubes. Just save the funds until you have enough to purchase the Ones again....

How important is 3D? There are a lot of pre 3D receivers to choose from.

DK,

Did Accuphase or Luxman pass through your laboratory?

Will62,

Your amp looks like it is pretty easy to carry around, so why not go the craig's list route? You're just looking for hold overs anyway.
Take your amp with you and listen to the used...

DK,

You mind listing the amps you have evaluated? I'm just curious about your journey. Thanks.

Come hither my dearest Loud & Clear. Nestle yourself on to the safety of my bosom.

That's a great idea. Maybe you could start a buying pool. With enough people interested, we could probably purchase a set in the persuit of science. I'll put my money where my mouth is. I'll commit a...

My theory is it has to do with the subjective nature of this hobby. Every statement is qualified with "in my room", so there is no way to really refute another person's observations. What's happening...

Well, since we're all plying on, give me piece of this post count action.

Natural,

You already admitted that you have a love for SDAs, why even torture yourself. Try to acquire the speaker that is the object of your desire.

ZLTFUL,

Great description, that is exactly what I was trying to get those guys in the other thread to articulate about a new speaker vs the old speaker. You know, was certain nuances absent with...

Kuntasensei,

We all have to make a conscious decision to say when. I think falconcry72 summed it up pretty well. I don't think that people are defending to the death, but are simply conveying...

What new detail was revealed from your favorite music? What was the difference in the tone? Did the soundstage get wider? What I'm asking is for you to describe what your actually heard in the music....

DSkip,

I appreciate everyone's enthusiam for the New LSiM line, but very few were able to articulate what they heard vs their old speakers. I'm curious, when you played your favorite music, what...

Sprags, how did your decision come down to the RtiA 7s vs the 703s? What criteria did you use to rule out the LSIs?

Jazz aficionados, help a young whippersnapper out. I heard Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" and I just about melted out of my chair. I'm
looking for that same up beat, but buttery smooth delivery. What...

Kentmick,

I was running Polk's RM6900 series speakers for a long time and was very happy. Everyone has their philosophy about good sound and I am no different. I believe that it is easier to...

I'm not trying to be confrontational, but that's probably where the issue is for some people. Now you feel like your chasing your tail. The better cables, only work with better equipment is tough to...

It might actually be beneficial. Yes, I know the search function provides the same information, but we all aren't proficient searchers. Maybe, there could be sticky that delivers cable knowledge in a...

Again, thanks for the link VR3. I did a quick bit of reading, now I'm intrigued by the supposed "perfect transmission medium", which had a tendency to eat solid state amplifiers. I don't know if I'm...

Thanks for the direction. I'm not knowledgable enough about this hobby to know when his statements have merit or when they are utter falsehoods. Do you have an example of where he is disseminating...
