| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? Yes; "taste" is indeed a mystery. I suspect, had we access to the entire spectrum of what we call a human being, we might have a better sense of what constitutes "taste". Music operates on multiple levels, some that are fairly evident and others... | |
| I admire Miles Davis, i admire Stravinsky; but i loved Chet Baker and Scriabin...You? Very Interesting thread, even if it is somewhat "over my head"...I've repeatedly encountered the judgment in Jazz publications that Miles was not particularly accomplished, technically-- that his strength lay more in his ability to convey emotion... | |
| Why so many angry audiophiles? Great thread!Some individual's self-esteem is apparently based to a large extent upon the degree to which they can feel superior to others.Certain posters on these forums seem to repeatedly initiate or become embroiled in conflicts with others tha... | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? B&W P5's. . . which I foolishly pared with Rotel components. Replacing the Rotel integrated with a Creek 5350 helped a little. The speakers might've sounded fine with tube gear. That was the last time I bought any audio gear based on how it so... | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? soix: I may have to try a sub or two, although as I've said, I have very little available space. If I went that route, I'd prefer wireless, which would require taking the amp to Jeff Wells for modification. tweak1: thanks but unfortunately your su... | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? The LSA's did offer deeper bass, which I liked but I've grown so accustomed to the low-mids of the Silverlines that by comparison the LSA's sounded rather "thin" to me, in my room. I know this aspect of the Silverlines has been attributed to cabin... | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? soix: thanks for the tip. I've already ordered the LSA's. | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? roxy54; for the sake of accuracy, I should point out that there's a 10% restocking fee + shipping, if speakers are returned. | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? Yes, roxy54; I'm leaning in that direction. The only difference between the Signature and Statment models is the tweeter. The Statement has a beryllium tweeter while the Signature has a soft dome. I've read that berylliums are not fatiguing but w... | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? soix: Since I really like my Silverlines (although the system could do with more bass) I was thinking the Supremes would give me the same sound, only "better". Perhaps this is a naive assumption. When I asked Alan Yun about the differences, he rep... | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? 17 X 18 living room with a 17 X 10 dining room behind it, separated by a half-wall (5 feet high) and an adjoining entry on one side. | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? Another speaker I'm wondering about in this regard is the Salk BMR. | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? I was wondering whether the LSA's sub bass radiator might offer deeper, tighter bass. However, I read one review that mentioned the SBR might require more space between it and the back wall than other monitors and. I've only got 24" -- not sure th... | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? Hi tvad-- I haven't decided to-- just doing a little exploring! | |
| LSA110 Statement as possible replacment for Silverline SR17.5? Sorry-- LSA-10, not 110 ! |
