| Help with choosing sub-woofers please Use yer earballs for setup...a test CD (I use one of the Stereophile CDs) helps but really that's all the technocrap needed unless, well...you can't hear. Also, listening to music is always a good idea. I have 3 RELs bought used over the years and... | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Most serious musicians don't make enough money for a hobby like audio and they have to spend bucks on their instruments and the like. I've done decades as a "working musician" (along with some other far more lucrative things which have funded my g... | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions Get a modern pair of Klipsch Heresy speakers and simply leave the grills on. | |
| Feel free to talk me off the ledge I prefer Heresy IIIs...sold off a pair of new IVs last year after plenty of listening. Also sent back a pair of ZU Omens so ya never know until the speakers are in your system in your room. | |
| What made you change to a 6SN7 preamp? It was a coincidence that my fave little Dennis Had Firebottle tube amp has one 6SN7GTB input tube (only 4 tubes total in that amp including a rectifier and two power tubes), and after using it with a SS preamp for a while I tried a Schiitt Freya ... | |
| For all you Bose 901 Haters! The hifi speakers were designed to be near the wall with the "flat" side containing one (?) driver pointing into the room and the other little drivers pointing at the wall...right? Mondo el reflecto. The pro P.A. version just has the 8 drivers poi... | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? I listen to jazz and classical mostly but otherwise have been part of the music biz for over five decades as a musician (not jazz, I'm not that smart) and (more recent decades) a live sound mixer. The music biz has never been a good idea for a car... | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information Exactly how does anyone on this site "deny access to information" to another poster? | |
| Question about Class A I happily am bound to efficient horns by my relatively inexpensive Dennis Had Firebottle SEP amp (12 to maybe 17 wpc)...bought it a few years ago when it was 3 or 4 months old for about 1200 bucks. Best hifi amp I've ever heard over many decades..... | |
| About users with hidden agendas My agenda is simple. To take over the world and reward everyone who worships me. Is that too much? | |
| Sound I'm also a minimalist when it comes to my hifi rig...no digital nannies, good wire...blah blah, but I do keep a Loki Mini + in the system as it's utterly transparent. No clue how they managed this but you can flip it on and off, take it out for co... | |
| Efficient speaker: Zu, Tekton, Volti, Klipsch, Fleetwood? I think the titanium driven mid horn in Heresy III sounds better than the new poly driven and much simpler mid horn (the convoluted deep throated mid loading Heresy III horn is a very different design relative to the simple short throat IVs) in th... | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? Friends don't let friends listen to self-important snarky posts. | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? I've had lots of speakers over the years and currently am firmly in the single ended tube powered Klipsch Heresy III camp. Just fabulous speakers if paired with good stuff in front of them (and I prefer the IIIs over the IVs after owning both as t... | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? Walk around outside and look at a Real Time Analyzer graph on yer phone...everybody has one of those, right? Note the frequency range of the normal world...go ahead...I'll wait here. See that? In any case, subs (or the rare "full range" speakers) ... |
