| Seeking advice for speakers for my Family Room My house is similar to yours with a lot of hard surfaces and some soft. But I have coves and it’s a sonic nightmare. I agree with you that I like Kliscph speakers but they’re just not fit for that kind of room. I switched to Harbeth which made a h... | |
| Axe to grind know it alls This forum to me is halirous. Music is the simplest thing in the world-you listen to what you like and how you like it. There is no good or bad, right or wrong. It is your ear and what pleases your is up to you. Others opinions are irrelevant. Yes... | |
| Help me understand John Coltrane .... seriously. Don't worry about John Coltrane. Listen to music you enjoy; if that takes you to J.C., fine; of not, that's fine too. I don't like heavy metal but I don't worry or feel sorry for not liking it and I make no attempt to try and understand it. It is ... | |
| Ive recieved an offer for my set of Aerial 7T speakers of $700.00. Should I accept? Unfortunately, you are getting some very bad advice here from people that know about speakers but not economics. You can only get what the market will bare, period. I would market your speakers in more places to see if you get a better offer, if n... | |
| Aric Audio? First Watt? PrimaLuna? I have the PL 40w/channel integrated amp auto bias. One thing about them I like is the 80 watt limitation. I told the Marten Speaker rep that I don't need an 800 hp at the wheels car to drive 45mph to work. If you listen at normal levels I thin... | |
| CD Player vs. music streaming I wouldn't do either. I was in the exact same position as you, and I purchased a Sony HAP S1 for $700 USD. It is a high res unit (100,000 freq range) with a hard drive and internet radio. It has a 500 gig hard drive that organizes your ripped cds... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? All this talk makes me laugh. Has anyone here been to an audiologist ("hearing doctor") I doubt it. If you do go to one, you will probably learn that your ears and your hearing are basically no different than anyone else around your age. A few wil... | |
| Why no “Break in” period? I don't know about line conditioners. I have A PS Audio power regenerator. I do not think it needs to be "broken in" (whatever that actually means with parts that dont move) because it takes ac power from the wall, converts it to DC, then regenera... | |
| The 5 stages of making a bad audio purchase The main rule you need to adhere to is that they are your ears-satisfy them and only them. Example I just listened to a $65,000 pair of properly set up speakers and I much preferred the $16,000 pair. Ita all about your ear. | |
| Recommendations for high quality Streaming Audio: Check out the Sony HAP S1. I own one. It is not a streaming device buy you can download all your music to its 500G hard drive. I love it because it can directly play 24 bit (high resolution) format. About $700 $800. It also includes for free tune... | |
| Broken hearted...magnepan and vandersteen I had a very different experience than you. I was at a Vandersteen speaker show in Atlanta last week. I heard a VAST difference between the Treo ct and the quatro ct. To me the quatros were completely different than the Treos It wouldn't make sens... |
