Thanks for the lightning reply. After making my posting I had switched to the turntable forum and noticed you had made some interesting responses to queries.
So, I will begin my research with speakers.
This coming summer we will be doing a house remodel (which will include speaker wire as necessary). When we are done, I would like to have one room that is a great place to listen to music, with several (2? or 4?) nice speakers. I have enjoyed the old Cerwin-Vega and Dynaco speakers I own. They seem little large for some locations (the CV's are 28" high, 14" wide, 12" deep. The Dynacos are slightly smaller). I know many speakers are much larger. Should I be looking to upgrade these speakers? How do sound, size, and price interrelate? Would you have any suggestions as to how to go about research?
Also, turntables. The Technics SL 1200 looks like a wonderful piece of equipment. I would love to hear one someday, but for now, I can make do with something less. Should I and how could I assess the condition of my turntables? Should I take them to a shop or are there diagnostics I could perform? Or should I just look for a relatively inexpensive new purchase?
Thanks, Steve
