    Monitor Audio Studio 20 SE - how much has technology moved on?

    Very true, and speaker technolgy hasnt moved on that much its still the same basic principle, manufacturing has improved a little but there are some better speakers designed years ago which are still better than modern alternantives today. ProAc studio 100 is one example used for many years and...

    yamaha as500 as good as pioneer a400

    Had a quick demo of the yamaha amp today, not a side by side in depth test but its a great amp, i feel though the orignal A400 was a better amp, for me personally (when it was new that is). But it is hard to say without demoing them side by side.

    Audiolab 8000a.........is it a worthwhile upgrade from Pioneer A400?

    I preferred the sound on the A400 to the audiolab 8000A , and I think the A400 had more grunt. I owned both for a time. If you really want much more volume then go for something like a Nad C319 – C370 – C372 C37?? and what ever they are now, they seem to have the most power output to get those...

    BK Sub with MF amp and ProAcs?

    Glad your happy with it, the XLS200 wasnt for me I sent it back, its all about what your happy with really and the room its used in. I would have never have said it would have improved the performance that much of a set of ProAc studios like yours. After reading all the hype I just felt the...

    BK Sub with MF amp and ProAcs?

    dont bother your Proac have better bass than tge xls200,I had one with a set if ref 8 signatures and the bass wasn't significant. you need something much bigger to get what your after. look at a xls400 or better still a monolith.

    Proac Response Hexa 5.1

    FrankHarveyHiFi: They have probably the best top end and midrange of any hi-fi satellite speaker, being very very similar to their much bigger floor standing speakers. With a carefully matched sub, they'll provide you with the most musically convincing presentation from a very small box. i...

    Tannoy Mercury F1 Custom vs Epos ELS3

    totaly agree, had loads of standmounts over the years including the els3's and lots of other epos es speakers. I would have to agree that pound for pound the ms10i are king! they are a HiFI bargain. in fact i would say that these ms10i sound more like the orignal epos es11/ es12 than the epos...

    For classical: Acoustic E. Aegis Neo 1 or Mordaunt S. Avant 902i?

    I think the reply by Tarquinh is an excellent bit of advice, I've really enjoyed reading everyone's posts on this one. I have been down this road many times changing my speakers, and there is no substitute for spending money, you really do get what you pay for. Save up for a set of...
