Exclusive to our Substack subscribers, we will host a weekly Q&A every Monday. Our team of veteran writers, reviewers, and editors will hand select a few to answer every Friday. Perhaps you’re having trouble with a specific amplifier, or desire a deeper understanding of transmission line speakers, from the general to the specific, post your questions here and come back on Friday to see them answered!
Just moved into a small apartment where I can set-up a system in a room measuring 3m X 3.5m. I don't have a system atm but am starting with speaker choice. My listening volume will be extremely low, because of immediate neighbours, but am torn between two types of speaker combinations. Either a big box JBL 4311/12 type speaker or a smaller stand mount Rogers LS3/5A type speaker set-up. My question is, which combo would be the most dynamic and best bass response at around ½ to ¾ watt. Will be running a 300B intergrated amp of some sort with vinyl being my primary source. Thanks. Peter.
Yeah, the place I moved into is a public housing complex. So luckily I have housing for life. Moving was never an option. Headphones is bad advice, too cumbersome, too many drawbacks.
I'm happy with my current system. I have a Dual 1228 with a Denon DL110 cartridge, a Rotel RA412 amp, a chi-fi Bluetooth receiver with a burr-brown DAC in it and a set of Goodmans Magnum SL speakers. The perfect vintage system for a tight budget.
