| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? I think that ATC speakers whether passive or active are simply too honest to be ever considered overrated. | |
| It’s you. Its very simple Audiogon is a forum in regard mainly to matters of Audio and HiFi. It should carry a Government Health Warning..... | |
| What Happened To The Copious Post On High End High Powered Amps By Whitecamross? Whitecamross = Captain Ahab and his search for the White Whale!!!! I don’t think that Captain Ahab will ever find that final White Whale...! | |
| ATC SCM 40 v 2 and tube amplifiers I agree modest powered tube amps will probably give a negative sound with the ATC SCM40's. However the next best thing is to try a tube preamp with a solid power amp atleast reasonable power or even ATC own 150 power amp (P1). ATCSCM40 speakers ... | |
| Recommnedation for the BEST SOUNDING integrated amp up to $3500 Also would you want a quality amp which can cope with all future upgrades? | |
| Why do members hijack threads? I agree with rshak most of the times its just the evolution of conversation. On the minority times when the hijack is deliberate in a fashion most of the times the poster will say 'sorry I do not mean to hijack this thread but I too have a simila... | |
| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! It maybe that your bored with the music you have collected or choose to listen to. Sometimes I get bored with 'Western music' so I listen to Arabic music (old & new), wow that was like discovering Rock'nRoll all over again. Their drum beats a... | |
| Soundstaging and Imaging: Not an Illusion I don't know about vibrations, but there is one recording that tells me straight away that it was recorded correctly and whether the Audio System itself can produce depth in soundstage (and dynamics) and that is Symphony Fantastique, Berlioz's Mar... | |
| Whats the deal? I have recently in my late life, discovered a dream HiFi System which actually 'wowed' me and is not too 'unrealistic' in the price. Fortunately the speakers look good and solid, and I think would attract the 'wife' approval in the siitting room.... | |
| Music I would succumb to under torture The op has a point. I noticed that a vast majority of present audiophile reviewers (from mostly the 'western' world) love to listen to this 'Diana Krall' to talk about the sound of the component. She is so often used in reviews that I am getting... | |
| Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests Most disagreements on HiFi forums are like the OK Corral gunfight of egos. The posters pretend to argue their particular subject or cause but in reality they are imposing their 'superior' ego over the other and others who read the thread are like... | |
| Best song for immediate impact when presenting or testing? I just heard the ATCSCm40 speakers, 'wow' and super 'wow'. The track they played was Sans Saens - Danse Macabre. I know this track well but hearing it through these speakers bought out the full majesty of this music. The speakers have this ski... | |
| We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong Here in the UK I would never purchase standmount or floorstanding speakers without the benefit of a home audition. Also I would if possible get the assistance of the dealer to set the speakers up in my own room for the audition. To buy a speaker... | |
| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? Law of diminishing returns, thats for peasants and serfs who think of price of something, how crass and crude...! | |
| CD no more produced? The title of this thread sends shivers to me because I do not want to rely on streaming if I cannot own the music, also streaming can involve more components (eg computer, laptop). To date my music collection is mainly of vinyl and Cds. I listen ... |
