Well I decided to get the Usher S-520 and Canada Post finally delivered it yesterday but left it sitting outside by the front door!!! I couldn't wait to hear how good these speakers sounded from all the positive reviews I've read. It actually sounds really good but I didn't experience any...

Thanks, I figured $300 seemed fair but a lot of people on Craigslist are emailing me and making lowball offers like $100 for the whole set or they're complaining the price is too high for old speakers. Oh well I guess I'll just have to wait for the right buyer to come along.

I'm selling a set of JBL speakers that includes a pair of floor standing speakers and a matching center channel. The speakers are JBL ND310II and the center is a N-Center II. What's a reasonable asking price for these speakers?

I've considered getting the Paradigm Studio 20's because I have a pair of Studio 60's I use as part of my home theater and they sound really good for both movies and music. Even spending $800 for the B&W is getting close to the maximum I'm willing to spend. $825 for your Studio 20's sounds...

I'll be using whatever speakers I get without a sub. What was it that you didn't like about the 600 series speakers?

I'm looking for a pair of good bookshelf speakers to use in my bedroom for music only. The Usher S-520 has really good reviews but I can't hear them for myself because none of the local stores have it. Another speaker I was considering is the B&W 685. I can get the gloss black Usher's shipped...

I finally had a chance to sit down and listen to the amp last night. I think music sounded a little more clear or more detailed than before. It could just be that I'm hearing things I want to hear. I also watched some Battlestar Galactica since I'm watching the entire series on blu-ray and...

I have a Yamaha RX-V1800. I've been at work all day so I haven't had much time to listen to it some more. I don't really regret buying it since I'll be keeping this amp for many years and it should have no problems driving any new speakers I get in the future. It's a nice looking amp and it...

It took a while but Fedex finally delivered my XPA-3 today. I finally decided to get one after doing some reading on here and from different people telling me about the difference adding an amp made. So I figured its on sale for $519 now so I might as well try it and find out for myself if it...

Thanks, I've been enjoying them more and more lately. Music just sounds so good that I've started listening to some of my older cd's all over again. I'm leaning towards getting the XPA-3 and I can see how the extra power would help improve the speakers but how exactly will the center channel...

I'm not sure what all this talk about jitter is and how it affects sound quality. I'm thinking of getting a NAD 515BEE if I can get one at the right price. The Marantz CD5003 also looks like a nice player within my price range. I also have a PS3 that sounds pretty good to my ears so I may...

If that's true then I guess I don't need to spend lots of money for a new cd player. I thought the Wolfson WM8740 24-bit/192kHz DACs in a player like the Cambridge Audio Azur 640C would've made a difference and it seems to be getting lots of good reviews. Well my Teac cd player just broke...

I have an old Teac PD-D1200 cd player that I've been using for about the last 15 years. Then I started reading about more expensive cd players such as Cambridge Audio Azur 640C, Rotel 1072 or the NAD C542. So I was just wondering if these cd players would be a noticeable improvement over what...

I wasn't expecting much either from such an old amp so I was surprised that something so old could sound pretty good. I had the amp connected to the preouts on the Yamaha and I did have it on pure direct mode so that the EQ settings from the Yamaha wasn't getting EQ'ed again with the Pioneer...

I've had my speakers for just over a month now so I just wanted to come back and let you guys know if there's been any change since I first got them. Well I don't really know if they sound any better after several hours of break in. I do know they sound way better ever since I hooked them up...

I'm a little confused when it comes to playing movies or music at reference levels. When I calibrated the speaker levels I have the master volume at 0db and I adjust the trim for each channel until my meter reads 75db with the receivers test tones. When I watch a movie I have the volume at...

I am curious to see if adding an amp such as the Emotiva XPA-3 or Anthem MC30 would improve sound quality. But there have been many people that have said it made their system sound better and others that didn't notice anything. However I did notice a big improvement in sound when I upgraded...

I got the V5 and I went with the CC590 because the 690 was way too big and I would have a hard time finding a place to put it. The 590 was also on sale so I saved about $450. The CC590 is already a big center speaker so I'll have to make a shelf for it to go in so I can put my TV on top...

A few months ago I came on here asking for advice on if I should get the Paradigm Studio 60 or Energy RC70 speakers. Thanks to the helpful advice on here I finally bought the Studio 60 and a CC590 center speaker when they went on sale. I'll admit that once I got them home they didn't sound...
