I went last year (2018) and had a good time in general. Show, contrary to the previous ones I attended on the East Coast, was not too crowded and could really get to talk to anyone you wanted to in every room. I thought the small rooms really did not help many systems. The room with the ML for...

The rears will be about 15 ft from the front, can put them at any height I want but it seems from reading around 2ft above ear level is where they should be.

Yes staying away from the ceiling but those Vanquish seem to be certainly impressive

Thanks, appreciate your input

I am kinda stuck picking rear surround speakers. The contenders are ML Motion 4i, ML Motion 15, or Definitive Technology ProMonitor 1000. You can see in my signature the rest of the equipment. It is a dedicated 16x18 room with 9 ft ceilings. In addition to regular movies we watch lots of opera...

Long time no see...haven't been here in several years as life as taken me away from one of my favorite hobbies. I have relocated to the Salt Lake city area and would love to get to listen to a pair of Summits before pulling the trigger. Unfortunately no dealers here, so I was wondering if any...

When I was looking for a TT I looked at Thorens as well. What turned me off was: - the price (higher than VPI) - they are kinda hard to find and harder to find support for them - VPI can be upgraded I considered clearaudio, but thought it was on a lower level compared to the other ones in the...

With that budget I'd get a VPI superscout master with the SDS unit. Do you already have a good phono preamp?

I know I'm biased here since I have one, but at $1700 the VPI scout is a bargain for the quality. Class B stereophile recommended.

Oops, I meant that in my ears' opinion it is the opposite of what Jonfo stated about dynamic range, bass extension, high-end clarity...., but it is true that everyone hears things a little differently.

Very true! For me it's exactly the opposite, I consistently prefer vinyl.

Fone' is a label. I believe they are based in Italy. They also make wonderful CD recordings. Highly recommended! Check 'em out: http://www.fone.it/en/index.asp

I have the fone' 45 RPM all analog edition of the 4 seasons. It's a great recording. I just wished fone' records weren't so damn expensive and hard to come by.

I really liked the Jadis and the speakers associated with it... and they were in a reasonable price range! Your buddy picked up a nice piece of electronics...good looking too if I may!
