Alright... this is now what I'm looking for:
What I have:
2 Channel... I run a Luxman D110 integrated amp w/ the tube pre loading - 2 channel x 70 w RMS
NAD 542 CDP
Kimber silver streak interconnects
12 guage Kimber generic speaker wire... might buy something better...
...
K now whether the speaker is bi-wireable really is not a concern, and I haven't heard a diserning difference
Speakers I have had in mind:
Paradigm Studio 40's... good but not great in my books... not enough low end range
Axiom Audio M60's... haven't heard but reviews look good
Qual Q11... I will be listening shortly
Totem Accoustics... Rainmakers/Arro/Sttaf...
Rainmakers being a $900 bookshelf has impressive imaging, but is definately anemic in the low range
Arro's are very impressive for the size, are just phenominal for jazz/classical and their imaging is excellent...
Sttaf... does everything the Arro's do but with more viseral impact, forwardness and more high range details
B&W 805's... Listened to my friends, and they are just awesome, but anything under 110hrtz... just doesn't work... doesn't have as much impact as the Totem Signature Model 1's
but the midrange & high range are some of the most linear I've ever heard
Any suggestions?
