| PMC vs. ATC Active ATC's have plenty of bass and are not bright. Passive ATC sound pleasant but really do not show what ATC is capable of. | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? Nautilus euphonic HUH???? More like analytical and if anything mechanical sounding. Nautilus have precision soundstaging and disappear almost as well as small monitor speakers. Nautilus produces a wall of sound and pressurize small room quit well.... | |
| Monitors under $1500? Amphion has $1,295 speaker amazingly low distortion and was Soundstage award winner. | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Restock, drivers with a whizzer cone are not single driver speakers. They are 2-ways with a mechanical crossover. I'm not trying to fault anyone who likes the sound and high efficiency of the whizzer cone drivers. Fostex also makes true single dri... | |
| Breaking in a new amp Saw an ad with a smashed Naim amp on the concrete caption was:"Sorry, I did'nt catch your Naim".Ooppppps you said break-in not break. | |
| Best bargain integrated amp? Portal Audio Panache designed by Nelson pass (?) or Musical Fidelity X-150. | |
| Do you remember your first cd? Liquid Liquid because the dealer couldn't get it on tape. Now it's worth $100. First and last time I made money in hi-fi. | |
| Trelja in New York - 2005 WHAT??? I thought the show was the end of May. | |

| Mackie HR824 From what? They have plenty of deep punchy bass. Some unpleasant resonances and harmonics make sound somewhat fatiguing. Sound is not smooth, partly because monitors are supposed to be revealing, partly from poor design. I thought they were bright... | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Epos M15 (not 15.2) speaker.Marantz CD players.Radio Shack magnet wire for speaker wire.Novus on CD's polished with micro fiber cloth from Wal-Mart eyeglasses section.Still looking for the bargain amp. | |
| What is the MOST audiophile friendly city ??? Europe. | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? Gonglee3, I thought Q was a measure of resonance of driver material -ie. metal rings and will have a high Q. Sounds like what you're talking about is suspension compliance or damping factor of the speaker. | |
| Economy amps from Channel, Nixon, etc? Real interesting info, Thanks Gmood1. |
