I'm excited about this one, I hope it has digital inputs as well. The problem I have with most modern budget/mid-range amps is that they either do analog (brio-R with a nice phono stage) or digital (nad d3020, CA cxa60) well. And usually not both. Ofcourse there are some amps with both a phono...

subscribed, good tip! DocG thanks for the offer! I have heard the jmlabs 926 now and I must say they sound good. Somehow they did not sound like they have the scale I need. Heard them in a quite small room with my own amp and I think they sound good but not very big even if their size would...

The Cabasse Clipper seller is asking 800 euro's/ca. 600 gbp. They are in great condition but I'm factoring in the risk to buy oldies like this when replacement speakers are not easily available and (by the looks of it) very expensive. These used to be quite expensive and it shows, they look like...

Thanks Vladimir! I found that deal as well and hope to give these a listen soon. Those Clippers look like something I would buy, I even like their design (call me crazy). I just send the seller and email. He has loads of very nice speakers around including a immensly huge set of Altec Lansing...

Hello, I only have experience with the Totem Mite and must say that they are amazing little speakers. I power them with a Rega Brio-R and I love the detail these mini's bring out. They work very well in small/medium sized living rooms and I think they sound best on stands and a bit away from...

I can but the missus can not... same with the altec horns. I think I can sneak in the jbl 4312's since they are a bit more eh.. Room-friendly looking. Don't mind large and boxy but they will be in sight and placed in space (not backed up against a wall) I might be able to listen to the JMlabs...

Hi Dave, it has been setup half a year ago by a Linn dealer here in Holland. It wasn't that costly and I had an Adikt cartridge fitted at that time. It was a worthwile upgrade from a saggy drive belt and a K5 cartridge :) I am thinking about wall supports, I have a wooden floor now which is a...

True, it does play a role. Mine is older then I am myself and it think it is a nice piece of engineering. I have an SL1210 with AT440mla and it is better value but not really a heavyweight. Compared side by side I do think the Lp12 sounds more natural and has more 'swing'. Yes, I could easily...

Hi Dave, thanks for your advice. I have heard the Q acoustics 3050 today and I must say it's a very nicely finished product, for their price you really do get a lot. However I was not so impressed by their sound even though all the reviews are glorious. I think they lacked some scale and I...

I will give the new q acoustics 3050 a spin this weekend, I have found a local retailer. The JM Labs speakers look very interesting and it looks like a lot of bang for bucks, which is what I'm after. The WAF is borderline acceptable so they just made it to the shortlist :-)

thanks! That looks like a very nice option, will the brio be able to drive these beasts?

those are a bit leftfield but I like the idea! The WAF might be a problem... I am in Holland so shipping speakers from ebay uk might not be the most cost effective solution. The lp12 has an akito, adikt and lingo. I'm pretty fond of it so I don't think I could part with it for something...

Whitesnake!

Thanks! The Klipsch Heresy series looks very interesting, efficient and it gets good reviews. Hardly around here on the used market though (I am in Holland). Q-acoustics didn't float my boat when doing a demo on the 2050i and concept 20. The sound good but I missed some finesse somehow, which...
