| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? their outright ripoffs notwithstanding, i actually agree with the verdict in the spirit case--those descending notes are just too generic | |
| Thoughts on B&K Reference 7270 Series II - 7 channel Amplifier b&k made good gear (i still use their monblocks), but they're out of business, which devalues it--personally i wouldn't pay more than a grand | |
| Using two small bookshelf speakers as a center channel if you're considering running two speakers off a single channel of your denon, don't do it--your receiver isn't so designed. a number of manufacturers make slim center channels which should fit your needs--check out the following:/item/cantcd1502w... | |
| Top Ten Rock Vocalists dragunski, we have similar tastes--bob mosley in particular is a hugely under recognized white soul singer. i'd throw steve marriott on the list as well. | |
| Down to 2 preamps i believe the avm 60 is the de-amplified version of the 1120 avr (which appears to have almost identical specs to the 720), so the difference would be whether the inboard amps on the 720 are better than the bat/b&k). the conventional wisdom is... | |
| Jimmy Page, It's time to call your lawyers? this gvf does have undeniable skill, but the whole exercise reminds me of the "steel dragon" tribute band from the mark wahlberg movie. zep are notoriously the biggest song thieves in the business, so they should be flattered rather than outraged.... | |
| Revel Salon 1 still worth it? Possible a small room? i'm a big revel fan and considered the salon, but ultimately passed--they're great for what they are but (like you note) too big, esp. considering they definitely need a sub. they're also a very demanding load and need a ton of power. | |
| Is there a quality website that lists upcoming releases of music i likewise find allmusic.com to be the most comprehensive and generally reliable source of info on new releases in all genres | |
| Bottle Rockets- Great unknown Band- Still Exist??? great band--their song "my dog" is an all-time classic | |
| My first PSB Speaker Purchase. Need some help. i agree with phil--i have the synchrony 2B in my kitchen and they're excellent. note that the synchrony were a higher model line than the imagine before they were discontinued (i haven't heard the current iteration of the imagine). i do think $350... | |
| Integrated amplifier search a good friend of mine has the nad d7050, which i think you can get for around $500--i've had bad luck with nad in the past, but this unit was pretty impressive. and small. | |
| How Are Rotel Preamps? bright. sometimes unnaturally so. | |
| Looking for an Integrated Amplifier to match Totem Rainmaker Speakers i was actually thinking rega brio, which has a really good phono section and is only a grand new--the new arcams (sa10/sa20) were also pretty impressive, though i haven't heard 'em with totem. also see if you can find a vincent sv 236 in your budg... | |
| I want to pick up a vintage SS integrated +1 on the kenwood ka-x100 series; yamaha ca-series also had cool vu meters | |
| Wanted: Suggestions for driving Celestion SL600 Speakers! i briefly had a pair of the celestion years ago and remember they needed a ton of high-current power--they're very low sensitivity at 82 or so. i recall driving them with a parasound, which was very capable; i've also heard they sound good with kr... |
