| Revel f208, dead center image but everything jumbled up? I am skeptical about the Harman rep's comment about the speakers not needing a break in.period.When you auditioned the speakers, was the dealer using superior electronics, cabling, power conditioning, etc? It's not unusual for one upgrade to lead ... | |
| Badly recorded albums needing upgrading When it comes to badly recorded CD's, I'm more likely to listen to them in the car instead of my home system. I agree about "Layla" and I always thought the Blind Faith album also sounded terrible.I recently read Richard Barone's (Bongos) autobiog... | |
| Albums that you listen to straight through / start to finish whenever you put them on! The OP makes a couple of really good points:1) Albums that you truly want to listen to all the way thru are rare.2)But, it's a good idea to listen to the entire album because our tastes change over time. I know that I've rediscovered countless so... | |
| Old Rockers never die, they just get more wrinkly? @avsjerry.....It was interesting the way that the James Gang incorporated "Bolero" into "The Bomber," despite it being 2 years after the Jeff Beck Group released "Beck's Bolero."What I found more interesting was the similarity between the guitar r... | |

| Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference If WAF is important, I'd recommend auditioning the Focal Kanta's (2 or 3). It looks much better in person than it does in photos. It's also the only Focal speaker that I like. The top end on the rest of their line is too harsh for my ears I have ... | |

| Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact First and foremost, trust your ears; so, get out and demo as many speakers as you can.It's hard to believe there is not a Revel dealer in or near Richmond. There is one in Raleigh; so, if you go there to demo the Tekton's, you could also demo the ... | |
