| 3 Ingredients to a Healthy Audio Community Very helpful forum! I learn something useful here every time I log on. Thanks to all. | |
| Favorite obsolete formats..... Beta...so much superior to VHS.Oh, you were talking about audio only?So much good stuff out there! | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer I remember way back when...before the popularity of (invention of home) subwoofers... 8" was considered the 'proper' woofer size in many a sealed box 2 way system. I also agree no one size fits all! | |
| Anyone (everyone) care to throw a dart? $100...for my wife. I way way past diminished, and not quite the OP's age... Whatever is fun! | |
| Help Me Choose or Confuse Me More You are close enough to take advantage of studio monitors which are well suited to near field listening. I have a powered set of Adam Audio A5x's on my desk. My musician son has the prior version with the matching sub. The A7 is a little larger... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Pleasing Sound Amplified live music is very colored in itself. The 'sound guy' helps create the sound, and some equipment and people do a better job than others. That being said, acoustic live, no amplification, is my gold standard. From voice to violin! | |

| Late Night Jazz Irish whiskey, neat...:) | |
| Does Age Matter? 60 something...and digital. A mix of Tidal and CD's.Vinyl up until my 30's or so (that technology thing), but I still have our vinyl collection. | |
| Anyone ditch the sub after large speaker purchase? I've never felt the need for a sub with my IMF TLS-80's, which I got in the ...80's..., and still have. Anything newer seems to want a sub. This seems very much correlated to cabinet size! WAF and home theater seem to favor subs, and the low fr... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? As a buyer, I will almost always ask a question or two regarding a 'classified' style ad. This gets a conversation going, where I can get a feel for the seller. Love the ads I reply to, and months later the item is still for sale. Makes you wond... |
