| incredible inexpensive speaker you ought tell us what this incredible speaker is.... | |
| Any Boston Acoustic sub fans? I'm currently using a pv700 in a secondary system, which replaced (and improved upon) an older Paradigm. It's a solid piece--fast and musical. It doesn't plumb the depths or call attention to itself like say, a REL, but it's easy to integrate and ... | |
| AVR :2-channel with sub full range: Source Direct i found this, for what it's worth, with respect to denon/marnatz avrs:in DIRECT and PURE DIRECT modes, the receiver bypasses most (or all) of the additional processing circuitry such as Tone Controls (bass/treble) and Bass Management. Theoreticall... | |
| Amp upgrade for Revel M20 speakers jblack, you are correct that the revels are very inefficient and sound better with more juice, esp. at lower volumes. i just saw a harman hk990 on ebay for 999--it's a vg high current integrated and should match well with the revels. | |
| Newest iPhone my kid just got the 5s, and while i've never been an apple person, it really is pretty impressive. most significantly, the processor is blazingly fast--much much faster than the previous iteration--and the camera is noticeably better. the small sc... | |
| R.I.P. Lou Reed brian eno famously said that the velvet underground only sold 30,000 of their first record, but everyone who bought one started a band. works well as a eulogy. as noted above, his solo work is uneven--he made too many records--but still full of cl... | |
| Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz i'm still not clear whether you have two speakers or 5+, but if you're only using two speakers, you're better off with a two channel preamp that the multichannel ones you're looking at. | |
| Deciding between Yamaha or Marantz are you doing a two-channel system or a multichannel system? | |
| Building a Magnepan System, Please Help... jrodefield, this may not be helpful, but if i were you instead of the 1.7s i'd drop $2500 on some used 3.6s, which are on a wholly different level. you can get an emotiva xda2 dac/preamp for 300 (like elevick suggests) and maybe get lucky on a use... | |
| Critique my system... since you asked---i'd probably experiment with a different cdp (or add a dac); not that price is any precise indicator of sound quality, but it looks like your amp/pre are in a different weight class than the cdp. a tube cdp like jolida, vincent, ... | |
| Badfinger, perfect end for Breaking Bad baby blue is arguably the greatest power pop song of all time; aimee mann's version is, to my ears, even better than the original. i just read that according to billboard, after the breaking bad finale, streams of the song increased by 9000% and t... | |
| Anyone here have a memory ? 40 years later, porgy and mudhead are still indelibly etched in my cranium | |
| Best beer i just got into the craft beer thing (i needed some new bad habits) and here's my take:1. once you get into the microbrews, it's unfathomable you'd ever drink another miller or corona. even the premium mass market stuff like heineken and stella ta... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Chicago II--like most fair-minded music lovers, I've generally regarded their seemingly endless output as the clearest example of cultural decay. I've concluded, however, that this album is something of a masterpiece--in contrast to the AOR drivel... | |
