| Would you pay to listen? Balloons. Bad spelling is part of my charm. | |
| Would you pay to listen? Dealers who would encourage limiting their customer base in ANY WAY, either with an elitist attitude or fees, I would consider insane and clearly not interested in staying in business. Having seen a lot of high end audio places die over the last s... | |
| Would you pay to listen? Few retail businesses have the potential "snoot factor" that "High End Audio SALONS" can have. I've spent bundles of cash in the ones who merely treat me with courtesy and professionalism and laugh at the others. That said, if the "salon" wants to... | |
| Would you pay to listen? For clarification: "Paid that dub" means one has provided financing for dialog editing in a film or audio recording. "Hundred thousand system moved" means the writer had mistakenly parked his used Bentley on the stage at the Hollywoood Bowl and hi... | |
| Forte Model 55 Amp Update...Jon Soderberg's latest email says the 55 was the LAST thing they made at Forte', and it was a run of maybe 100 amps. Explains the lack of info. | |
| Would you pay to listen? Do what I did...having been a musician for many years I volunteered to help with the sound for a monthly "folkie" concert series in a town I moved to in 1999...this lead to my designing their system and then running it for 9 years (this also lead ... | |
| Resolving amps Revesaling is almost as important as revealing. | |
| Resolving amps My Forte' Audio Model 55 seems to work with my Silverline Preludes to provide the best imaging and resolution I can remember (can I remember imaging?...hmmm). Single wired sounds better than bi. I've owned, among other piles of stuff, Vandersteens... | |
| Would you pay to listen? The High End never had a clue how to market themselves to the Great Unwashed. The demise of so many "Audio Salons" proves that point and it's sad...instead of helping people see the virtue of beautiful music as self evident, they cater to the .1 o... | |
| Does Bi-amping really make a difference in sound? Trying things for yourself is just wrong. You could be defying the opinions of audiophiles who's impeccable tastes have been developed through years of gear swapping and tweaking, some going without food for days to pay for a more revealing $1,200... | |
| Would you pay to listen? Movie systems cost $200K? If true they are being ROBBED by installers...a first class full range live PA with flown array speakers and piles of amps, monitors, and mixers can be bought for less than that.I've been amused by Audio Salon pretention ... | |
| Does Bi-amping really make a difference in sound? I think biamping means 1. using your amp twice a year or 2. not caring much about specific male/female connections. It does seem like a lot of trouble for home stereo (if you have a 6,000 square foot listening room with gigantic speakers, certainl... | |
| Forte Model 55 Amp You have a Forte' Model 55? So that's 2 confirmed ownerships. All I've found online is the info here in the Bluebook, and some conversations about other Forte' models. Soderberg did say in an email that these are the last gasp before Forte' "moved... | |
| Forte Model 55 Amp Yeah...I got another email from Soderberg verifying the "100 into 8" (170 or so into 4...the Bluebook here is vague, but I assumed amps are listed as "into 8 ohm"). Info is accumulating in dribs and drabs...bottom line is that in its current unmod... | |
| Forte Model 55 Amp I have found plenty of general info on the Threshold/Forte' connection...Forte's were a LOT less expensive than Threshold amps. I just can't find anything specific to this model such as a list of specs. ANYTHING!Also, I personally would not buy an... |
