| Casters for Wilson Sophia 2 Plastic sliders worked perfectly, and at a cost of only 8 dollars. For anyone with the same idea, I'd recommend using somewhat larger spike floor protectors as they are prone to tilt on the soft side of the slider if too small. I used the floor sp... | |
| Casters for Wilson Sophia 2 Great idea! I'll bet they have discs, or something like it, for hardwood floors too. Thanks for your response! | |
| What would you use in this 11' x 16' x 9' room? Thanks Lak. Some of the underlying questions include:How will the Sophia's perform in a smaller room?Are the Soliloquys better suited?Will the QS Minimites be enough to properly drive either pair of speakers in a smaller room?What to try, and what... | |
| Child-Proof Speakers I had the same concerns with my 3 children. It turned out that teaching them to respect "Daddy's stereo" was the easy part. Their curious friends and playmates are the ones to look out for. My best advice would be to prepare yourself mentally that... | |
| Song With Best Beginning I'll nominate "Cortez the Killer" by Neil Young and "Can You Hear Me Knocking" by The Rolling Stones. | |
| Help my budding audiophile brother My guess is that the Wadia is the better of the two, especially if you are getting the true digital signal from lossless files. Spotify Premium streams at 320 Kbps so there is some compromise on the quality. I've not had issues with the AppleTV2 b... | |
| Help my budding audiophile brother If you've got an iphone or ipad, you can stream Spotify to an AppleTV ($99) into the DAC. | |
| Is the Bryston BDP-1 worth $$$ over Apple TV There seems to be so many successful ways to enjoy digital music. I am currently using an IPad to stream Spotify (premium) to an AppleTV2 to a PSAudio DAC into my stereo. This has been my setup for almost a year and I still have little motivation ... | |
| VTL MB-125s or comparable single chassis unit? Sonic Frontiers Power2. Highly recommended and near your price range if used. 110 watts, great with jazz, blues, electronic, hip-hop, you name it. | |
| where to find quality recording of Radiohead? Beware of Radiohead on vinyl. I've collected Kid A, The Bends, and Pablo Honey on vinyl and was very disappointed with the sonics compared to the domestic CDs. It may be worth it to look at the vinyl manufacturers and compare before buying. | |
| 3-way under 1000 new. Keep your eyes peeled for a used pair of Hales Revolution-3s. I found a used pair for $1000.00 in mint condition and have been very pleased. I have been driving them with a Sonic Frontiers Power-2 with excellent results. They are an all-around gre... | |
| Need a good "under carpet" speaker cable Try Alpha-Core Goertz in copper or silver. High-quality and flat. Check reviews. | |
| Speaker cables for Classe crcd and Soliloquy 5.3 Goertz MI-2s worked well with my SF Power-2 and 5.3s. Bi-wire used should be near your $300.00 limit. | |
| Newbee dumb question, What exactly is B stock UnderwoodWally once gave me an excellent explanation of B-Stock loudspeakers. He may have a website that you can dig up with a search engine. In the case of the Soliloquy loudspeakers he described as B-Stock, they were physically perfect. The vene... | |
| transaction gone bad Any recourse for me? HELP If this guy is such a creep I am suprised that he didn't want to make a claim for the insurance. If I'm not mistaken, the shipper has a right to the claim funds, not the receiver of the package. You can start the process of filing a claim but I've... |
