| Switch from Genesis V to ??? You may want to experiment with tuning the room. Go get some compressed fiberglass Owens Corning seven hundred series panels from an acoustics supply company. I got them for about $5 each. Place them in critical areas around the room. You'll get a... | |
| Fake plants behind speakers a good idea? I kid you not, I believe the a Japanese man/company has discovered how to make living plants play music! That would be way cool. I remember seeing it on the web...That would make for surreal surrounds. | |
| Fake plants behind speakers a good idea? Live plants enjoy music; to set plastic ones behind the speakers is to waste the "psychic energy" which real plants could enjoy. However, it was found that in basement home theaters plants were not influenced positively by the music, and they died... | |
| Best Value System Boni, actually, it's not advertised, but this site is also for those who are beneficiaries of large estates. Nothing under $1m. So, this is all of our way of letting loose a bit, since it's very taxing managing the accounts/holdings which support ... | |
| Buget system idea? consider the Rega Planet 2000 over the Ah! cd player. Frankly, it's more tube-like sounding, and with better resolution than the Ah!To get into tubes, I'd recommend getting tube preamp coupled with plenty of solid state amp power for Maggies. I'm ... | |
| Speaker Damage? If you insured them they'll only reimburse you for the amount of cost of speakers (if used), not for replacement price. This is the nice little game they play calling it "insurance" but not giving you full coverage to replace items. It's a "grey a... | |
| Quad ESL 989 and Maggie 3.6s I second the Eminent Technology suggestion; they seem to be not well known, which is amazing considering their incredible performance. See the recent review of them in vol. 38 of HiFi+ Mag. I have heard the 3.6's several times and would not trade ... | |
| What's the "worst" cdp for the money? Remember when Nakamichi was considered high end equipment? Years ago I had a NAD cd player that had recurring problems with the drawer. Later, I bought a Nakamichi MB-2, which, out of necessity had to be swapped for an MB-2S multiplayer. It seems ... | |
| Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000. haha! had to laugh at Albert's post! Funny! I personally want my sound effects subtantial! When the celery breaks in the audio track of the special effects indicating a human bone has snapped, it had better sound, "KA-RACK"! Only Eminent Technolog... | |
| Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000. Electroman, sounds lovely! As they say, "this changes everything." I can hardly recommend larger main speakers when you're hiding them behind things. Doing more diminutive speakers behind the screen and in wall. That's out of my realm of knowledge... | |
| Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000. Not to argue; it seems Cenematic _systems has his stats down on decibels, etc. Just an observation; as an Eminent Technology LFT-8A owner (running them "stacked" or double pairs for mains, assisted in low end by dual Vandersteen 2W subs), it seems... | |
| Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000. Greetings, Electrostatman, I can see a storm brewing...Strong opinions here. First, your room is generous, but by no means so huge you have to get monstrous speakers. Most sizeable floor standers will suit you well. Also, you may be getting the ca... | |
| Best Subwoofer for Magnepan speakers REL and Vandersteen are two audiophile quality subs which will work tremedously well with either two channel or HT applications. I am using twin Vandersteen 2W's (older model, but excellent quality. Built in non-limiting 300w amps, so no need for ... | |
| Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000. Electroman, I'm not familiar with the conversion from cu. feet to sq. feet. What's the sq. footage of your room? Am I way off thinking it may be about 30' x 15'? (My sq ft HT is 23'x13' with ceiling of roughly 8'. Multiply them together and I get ... | |
| "Giant Killer" The things legends are made of. 3ox, with utmost respect, I haven't heard any 50 year old component (including the quads) that can hold a candle to today's designs. Amazing sound for what they were when built - yes. Besting technologically advanced components of today - no. I be... |
