Cheap $88 Sony SS-CS5 Speakers - Awesome
I prefer the Sony ss-cs5 over the Andrew Jones Pioneer SP BS22.  The Sonys are smoother, have tighter bass and can handle more power.  The speaker terminal cup is also smaller, which means less bass escapes. Sony really paid attention to the deta...

I’m listening to the Sonys right now, connected to 250 wpc.  Only reasonable volume levels of course!    
Best best ballads that refer to a US State
Glen Campbell- By The Time I Get to Phoenix. Tom Jones - Green Green Grass of Home Eagles - Take it Easy Linda Ronstadt - Adios. Look this ballad up if you aren’t familiar with it.  Linda was at her peak vocally(which she stayed at for a long t... 
Choke power supply- part 2
I am not yet impressed as I haven't heard the amp yet, its not in production.  I am curious about the amp(as I said above), as I am curious as to why some try to find fault with something they haven't heard yet. If Pass Labs is doing it then its n... 
Choke power supply- part 2
Well apparently Schiit figured out a way to make it a "good engineering idea" without checking with cindyment.  Mike Moffat and Jason Stoddard have been designing/engineering amplifiers and dacs since the '90's, so they might know a thing or two a... 
Choke power supply- part 2
That fooled me for a minute, didn't realize I needed to scroll down on the pictures for Pic 5.  I'm really curious about this upcoming amp from Schiit.  They have been employing a lot of innovative circuitry(at least innovative to this guy) over t...

Another impressed owner here, feeding them with the Schiit Vidar and Freya.  The imaging is really good!  Warmth with detailed highs, a neat trick there.  The budget speaker market has really improved in the last several years.   I've got a pair... 
Kef q950 or Public. Imagine x. X2t
No problem, the Q series has been continually updated and refined and I believe this is their 8th revision.I tried to find an impedance response graph online but thus far have been unsuccessful. I found the previous version(Q900) graph and the dip... 
Kef q950 or Public. Imagine x. X2t
Those Kefs dip down to 3.2 ohms at certain frequencies.  But, they have a sensitivity of 91 db, so get up to higher volumes with a few watts of output.It’s a handful for most AVRs.  I had the older Onkyo, the 876, about 50 lbs, but not sure about ... 
Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se
I would submit that an old Adcom found on Craigslist may be no longer what they once were, parts having drifted out of spec and all.I suppose one could say that of most amps built in the 90’s or earlier, but more so with Adcom as they used budget ... 
Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se
I had the A21 for 3 years, and currently own the Adcom GFA 565SE, 555MS, and had the 555SE.  The Adcoms are all current production models.I didn't have the Parasound at the same time as the Adcoms, but sold it because I grew dissatisfied with the ... 
How many of us are truly diversified
Diversified?  Now we have to be diversified?  Phooey on that.If you are buying buying amps with the goal of simply owning the many different classes, then you've lost track of the plot.  Same deal if you are buying to belong to the class D club.  ... 
Solid state amplifiers and sound stage, especially front to back "depth"
Having depth to the sound depends first of all, whether or not it's in the recording that you're listenig to.  Next, whether your speakers can recreate the full image that is in the music.  And finally if there is anything in your system that is d... 
Has Anybody Else Heard These?
Most of those YouTube reviewers have the same motivation.  New reviews regularly, to up the content on their channel, and generate views/cash.But Totem is the real deal.  Whether those speakers are ideal for you, only you can say.   
Has Anybody Else Heard These?
The Arro driver is a completely different one that is not long throw, nor is it designed or made by Totem.  The Arro takes up to 80 watts only, while the Tribe Tower handles up to 200 watts.   So no, the Arro driver doesn’t move as the ones in the...
