| How do you all store CDs? If you have the wall space, build or have someone build you some shallow, narrow built-in bookcases. You can use cheap wood and stain it cherry or spring for real cherry. My brother built some for me one weekend out of pine, I painted them white t... | |
| Need Advice on Surround Speakers for my System... Both Vienna Acoustics and Linn also make a good rear speaker w/shallow cabinet that can be mounted on the wall. I esp. liked the vienna acoustics model, I can't remember the model name right now. | |
| Best Recordings I heard in 2001 Scott, thank you SO MUCH for your list! I wish everyone would contribute at such length, so I can use my two $100 gift certificates (Borders and Amazon) to absolute best effect in the next couple of months! I also bought, on your recommendation in... | |
| Best thread poster for 2001? I thought the guy who demo'd all those expensive and super-expensive (ie Valhalla) cables and then wrote lengthy, detailed comments on his impressions did a GREAT job, very informative. Was that Jtinn or someone else? | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... Sticking to the B&W theme, I owned the Matrix 805's (predecessor to the Nautilus recommended above) for years without a sub and never noticed the lack of bass. They are often for sale used here for around $800. They are simply fabulous monitor... | |
| Any audio gifts for Christmas? I bought myself some interconnects for an "extra" system in the guest room, plus a power cord for a backup CD player. All very cheap! Then family and a friend gave me a big gift certificate for Borders, a bigger one for Amazon, and the remastered ... | |
| What recomendation would you give me ........ I currently use a 3 meter Ensemble Dynaflux, and I used to use a Transparent Ultra XL between my LS-15 and VT100 Mk III. Both sound great, the Transparent is usually available used for a good price. | |
| ....expanding from car audio into home...need help Outlaw Audio makes a very good, very inexpensive home theater receiver, I think it's the model 750, email member "underwoodwally" for info on where to purchase one new. They are only about $600 I think. | |
| would it be a huge mistake? I own Genesis 500's and have had them for 5+ years, I would highly recommend them and other Genesis products despite the company's going out of business. They are great products. I guess if a driver goes bad, you'll have to do some research to get... | |
| Power amp recommendation for Vienna Mahler Hi, I listened extensively to the Mahlers w/solid state, ie, Goldmund Mimesis 29 and Levinson monoblocks, and they sounded fabulous. Side firing bass woofers require control, I don't think the small ARC will do it. The Jeff Rowland is probably a b... | |
| wanna know my right Yes, you only have the right to rescind the deal and get your money back. You can't force them to upgrade the unit for the same price! | |
| Skinny speakers and wretched excess Couldn't you buy a dedicated well-designed center channel and place it either on a shelf in the stand, right below your screen, or on its own stand below the screen, if your screen is on the wall and not on a rack? That seems to me to be the bette... | |
| Best Packaging in the Business Ayre Acoustics beyond a doubt. Both my amp and preamp were so well-sealed even UPS couldn't hurt 'em. | |
| B&WCDM9NT vs. Vienna Acoustic Beethoven My dealer shows the Plinius 8200 integrated w/the Beethovens: Beautiful music! I owned the Beethovens for a year (w/Ayre amp and preamp) and thought it one of the most musical, versatile combos I have ever heard. I love the Beethovens, and was sor... | |
| Fedex Weekly Damage Report Hi, re: the question about how FedEx handles claims, I have had good experience w/that aspect of their service. One claim of damage was settled for cost of repair plus cash for replacement, this buyer really made out, but the speakers I sold him w... |
