Re: [CGUYS] Mini Stereo? [Was: Request recommendation for computer speakers
Has anyone seen a good audiophile-grade "mini stereo"? Sure. The Meridian F-80 has gotten good reviews. If that's too stratospheric, Tivoli Audio makes the "Music System," which I wouldn't exactly call "audiophile" but like all their Henry Kloss derived products is very nicely executed and costs about 1/3 of the Meridian. Neither of these are going to touch a true audiophile system, they fall onto a category I'd describe as table radios with CD capabilites. I could make some recommendations if you'll email me a budget. Presumably you already have a computer with an optical TOSLINK port. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

I have a 20 yr old JVC mini-stereo that is also losing some functions. and I agree ... most of the new mini-stereo look like transformer robots to me. I see few smaller units here and there for the kitchen etc that look decent enough but nothing very exciting. I guess the Bose mini-stereo might be the exception along with Bang Olufsen etc db Tom Piwowar wrote: Not true IMHO. But if I already have an audiophile-grade "mini stereo" in my office I might as well use it and not clutter the place up with more speakers. For others, getting a "mini stereo" may be a good move as it adds capabilities along with the speakers. I really don't want to be playing CDs via my computer's optical drive. Has anyone seen a good audiophile-grade "mini stereo"? Mine is now over 20 years old and has lost some functions. When I went shopping for a replacement all I saw was big and ugly units that looked more like boom boxes. I have a Yamaha YST-R7. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** * * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Its smaller, and Sony usually has good quality sound. You won't be using it at a party but it should provide quality sound loud enough for an office environment. http://www.crutchfield.com/g_10210/Boomboxes.html?c=7&tp=251&avf=N Sony ZS-S2iP S2 Sport® CD/radio boombox with iPod® dock (Black/ White) * For all docking iPods, including video iPods, iPod photos, iPod nanos, and iPod minis * CD player and AM/FM tuner * two 3-1/4" full-range speakers Mike Tom Piwowar wrote: Not true IMHO.
