I'm surprised at low foam quality, because speakers are not even 19 years old and they have been used rarely at low volume levels in place without smoke ... Here are pictures:

Hi, I've got an 18-year-old KEF 102/2 and I foud that one bass unit has torn foam. What should I do? Buy new units, repair, ...? Regards, MAre

I would buy cheaper Senheisser HD 555 and make HD 595 - simple modification: http://mikebeauchamp.com/misc/sennheiser-hd-555-to-hd-595-mod/

matthewpiano:... I'm really starting to wonder whether integrated systems might be the future. Is there really any need for the big pile of boxes in the room any more? Is a good quality integrated system (say the Marantz M-CR603, Arcam Solo, or similar) partnered with quality speakers enough...

groberton:I am not worrying about one sounding inferior to the other. Logically, there should be no difference. A copy of something as black and white as a 1 and a 0 should be faithful to the original, especially with verification of the copy. Therefore if the CD reads...

Messiah: I cannot see the CD player and Tuner using any more power than the amp in standby and that is rated at <0.2w As for idle this will also be very minimal. As for the SACD player I would recommend demoing the two if possible and then decide if it is worth the extra money. Where I...

Hello, I'm going to to buy DENON CD player DCD-710AE, tuner TU-1510AE and amplifier PMA-1510AE. I can't find any information about Standby Power Consumption for DCD-710AE and TU-1510AE. I also can't find any information about Idle Power for PMA-1510AE. I'm also interested if is it worth to...

Grottyash:I've heard the Densen B110s driving several different 4ohm Dynaudios without a problem, but you're always better off auditioning just to be sure. I found about 10 years old Arcam DiVA A85 for 400 ?. What do you think. Will Arcam DiVA A85 match my KEFs ?

Grottyash: You'd be hard pressed to find speakers as good as your Kefs at anywhere near a decent price. While they're still going, keep them, you'll regret it if you sell. You might also want to consider Densen amps, Electrocompaniet, even the bigger Marantz amps. None of them will have...

FrankHarveyHiFi:Aaaah, memories. Nice speaker - tight controlled bass, as long the amplifier did it's job. I'd say you could do with adding to your budget to get the best out of them, but you could look at the Audiolab 8200A, which is an excellent amplifier, and I remember using the original...

Hi, I'm going to buy integrated amplifier or. stereo receiver for my 16 years old KEF reference 102/2, 4 ohms, 89 dB loudspeakers. I recently sold 23 years old Luxman L-525 and now I would like to buy something with remote controller, simple, good quality for 500-1.000 €. I don't use any...
