| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... "It isn’t about snobbery. Years ago, I was like you. Wanting to tell the world how wonderful a good stereo system can sound. How relaxing and enjoyable to listen to your favorite music in High Fidelity. After a while, you get a little introverted ... | |
| What Matters and What is Nonsense I agree that speakers are the place to spend most of your money. I think most people look at tweaks because they can do "something" to try and help their system, usually without spending a ridiculous amount of dough. | |
| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... I’m too old to tolerate that crap. I usually say ... "If you don’t know or can’t figure it out, then I’m not gonna tell ya until you're much older." Seems to work everytime and makes the questioner feel pretty stupid ... just the way I like it. | |
| Audible Illusions Upgrade Opportunity It’s unlikely, unless the new model is a complete revamp from the older one. There is a point of diminishing returns at play here, and that’s what you should consider in deciding whether to replace what you have. | |
| Art Dudley Calls B.S. but without naming names - PLEASE DO! The maxim of caveat emptor applies here. Anyone with half of an audiophile brain can determine value versus gauging. It’s "audiophools," those who have lots of money to burn and don’t really understand audio or the concept of value, who are the re... | |
| New Dynaudio Confidence coming ... Ugly as sin! | |
| Grail T5 Speakers I think it's fairly obvious that the OP was not the "problem" with ML. Had that been the case, ML may not have taken appropriate steps to correct the situation to the OP's satisfaction. Treating customers well and respectfully is important if a co... | |
| From Four 12 inch Woofers To Eight 12 inch Woofers, Will I Get Deeper Bass Or More Bass? If you follow the methods for integrating a subwoofer suggested by "The Sound Doctor," you should have no problem with a sub in your system. Here's the link ... http://www.soundoctor.com/whitepapers/subs.htm | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers FWIW, I was at Joseph Audio’s offices a couple of weeks ago and heard the Pearl 3’s. All I can say is ... "wow, just WOW!" Everything from top end to bottom was cohesive and just "right." The Pearl 3’s are out of my price range, but the much less ... | |
| Ownership and Review of a pair of Ohm Super Sound Cylinder Not to be a spoiler here, but you should not be required to assemble speakers at that price point. They might sound great, but the assembly process would ruin the entire experience for me. | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers @exfoliate ... the Pulsars use custom-modified SEAS drivers, an exclusive Modaferri xover (which sounds awesome), and the build quality is top notch. They sound amazing and that’s why, after auditioning a lot of speakers, I chose the Pulsars. Expe... | |
| Stand mount loudspeakers +1,000 for the JA Pulsars. | |
| New Speakers up to $15k - The more I read the less I know! Don't solicit opinions on "sound," just ask for recommendations based on your current gear and room size; then, listen for yourself. Also, don't get stuck on price ... you may find that you can get great speakers that will fit your needs and ears ... | |
| Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000 Joseph Audio Pulsars on Sound Anchors stands with a JL Audio subwoofer. The sound is glorious! | |
| Paradigm Persona B Loudspeakers Professional Review Experience has taught me that relying on reviews solely is a sucker’s game. The only way to know for certain whether the speakers are good for you is to audition them yourself. Everyone hears differently, including reviewers. Remember, one person’... |
