| Where to go after Polk LSI15's My previous speakers were Infinity IL-50s and I always considered them to be excellent in the mid/vocal range. I think now I'd describe them compared to my Focals as lacking detail in the highs and punch in the lows. It's interesting to me how a c... | |
| Will I hear a difference with these cables? My initial impression is postive, but my setup is really difficult to swap cables easily so I know part of what I'm hearing is simply coming home to my system after several days at the in-laws over Christmas. There are a few aspects to some of the... | |
| Will I hear a difference with these cables? It would be difficult to get 70 feet of starting Cat5 for less than free. A co-worker of mine has a stash of several hundred feet of scrap under his desk. By nude are you suggesting that I should have used the twisted pairs alone or that I should ... | |
| Will I hear a difference with these cables? The second of the cables is complete other than some additional heat shrink that I'll put on tomorrow after I purchase a heat gun. I thought my wife's hair dryer would do the trick, but it doesn't seem to generate enough heat. I'm actually surpris... | |
| Recommendations I pulled up the 901 owners manual and am still confused about the hook up requirements so I can't provide any help. Hopefully, someone else has a better understanding of what you need. | |
| Where to go after Polk LSI15's I've heard the Polks in a store once, so I can't really comment on them one way or the other. Having said that, The price range you're talking about is exactly what a pair of Focal 836v floorstanding speakers cost. I've owned mine for about a litt... | |
| Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system Slikric3000 - I was surprisingly unimpressed with the Definitive Technology speakers that I listened to. I didn't hear man of their speakers, but the they seemed almost dull compared to the other brands. | |
| Best Towers Under $1500 for beginner system See if you can find some Focal speakers to listen to. I would suggest the Chorus 800 series, but I think the smallest floorstander, the 816v, is a bit above your budget. I prefer them to the PSB, Paradigm and B&W, at least the ones I've heard.... | |
| Audio Supports The reason that three is better than four is that three points define a plane. This means that it's virtually impossible to have four points equally support something. This is why a stool with three legs won't rock but ones with four almost always... | |
| Possibly the Ultimate Audiophile Album? Be sure to report back. If you do a Yahoo search for Paganini Variations God Save the King you can find a YouTube video of a guy playing the most difficult piece. It's amazing to watch his left hand. | |
| Possibly the Ultimate Audiophile Album? For anyone that appreciates violin music it's difficult to beat. It's a beautiful recording of fantastic music. I really enjoy technically difficult violin music and this CD has wow moments. It would be hard for me to imagine anyone not at least a... | |
| "Messiah" recommendations? I do have a copy of the recording, actually my wife had a copy when we got married, but I have not listened to it more than once so I don't know if it's any good.I'd suggest doing an Amazon search for hybrid and Messiah and make a selection. I've ... | |
| I need some CD player suggestions please Summitav - You're correct that it's a bit of a gamble to purchase from an unauthorized dealer. I was a little concerned when I had the issue with the subwoofer but was happy with the service that I received. One of the options was for them to repa... | |
| Budgeting for 2011 Music and Gear With the arrival of the first kid anticipated in June and the fact that I spent more this year that the entire rest of my life combined I'm probably done with purchasing gear of any significant price (i.e. Cost > $200) for a long time. This yea... | |
| Mixing different brand cables a good idea or not? Personally, I don't think it should matter much. The advantage of staying within a single brand might be that they are all designed to have similar sound characteristics which might give you an indication of if you'll like another product from the... |
