Non fatigueing speaker under 1500
Gooddomino, I'll try one more time and then I'll step out of this discussion. Do you like to listen to your music at high volume? If you do, then your amp is underpowered and you are looking in the wrong place to solve your problem. Enough said, a... 
Auctions - why bid early?
I've done exactly the same thing. :) 
Non fatigueing speaker under 1500
Gooddomino - when you say "jam" does that mean you like to listen with the volume up? Music does sound better loud, that's for sure.Those are some quality speakers that you had/have. -aj 
Non fatigueing speaker under 1500
Dan, I am just talking about what may be causing the fatigue is all. And clipping is a real reason and could at least be tested by putting something in the chain that wouldn't do that and see if it "sounds" better. That's all I am suggesting. I am... 
Non fatigueing speaker under 1500
Now, Now, Audiokinesis, I never said the Aragon amp was dry or edgey or in any way not a good amp, I just said that 200W is not enough power and is probably clipping. SS or tube, you need more power to really drive speakers without distortion and ... 
Non fatigueing speaker under 1500
It AIN'T the speaker that is fatiguing - it's your amp IMHO! With only 200 Watts, I would suspect that it must be clipping, causing the fatigue that you hear/feel. Suggest that you Beef up your power!-aj 
Auctions - why bid early?
Jeff, I envy you.... I was trying that for about 2 months on a Marantz tuner and always got outbid.... I didn't want to pay too much, you know how the range can vary hundreds of dollars. Finally, I did what you said and bid a fair, but high proxy ... 
Auctions - why bid early?
The times that I will bid early is only to clear out the non serious bidders - I want to get it over a certain amount to test the waters and see who stays in the game. Kinda like poker, I guess, huh?I then sit back and wait. I usually will not ent... 
Box speakers that sound like Electrostats?
Thanks, Rhyno, for explaining what you meant. I agree with you that ESLs alone don't have the bass, but I have found the Innersound Hybrids do it perfectly matched. The timing is right on and seamless.-aj 
Box speakers that sound like Electrostats?
Rhyno, can you explain more what you mean by microdynamics and macrodynamics? I don't believe I have ever heard the words used to describe speakers ( I live a sheltered life :} )and would like to learn. Thanks, Angela 
Box speakers that sound like Electrostats?
I don't see how you could try to compare the two. TOTALLY different design and dispersion. I can't imagine ever going back to box speakers myself. I am hooked on ESL's. It will be interesting to see what kind of response you get. aj 
which amp is the best for 2 channel and HT?
The only advice to offer is that I would think any multichannel amp is aimed at HT sound reproduction and not so focused on 2CH/music reproduction. I have no clue if there is any fact in that assumption, but that is what I would assume and to get ... 
SEPT 11?
I am disappointed in how the members choose to derail the intent of this thread. It's all rememberance. Go start another thread if you want to complain, criticize, posture your beliefs, etc.I took my team to lunch today and told them that if anyon... 
SEPT 11?
I choose to remember how everyone came together (and continues to come together) to do the right thing........some incredible things....... 
Is it worth upgrading DVD to progressive scan?
YES - progressive scan is worth it and you are not getting the benefit of the TV without it.Don't wait, get something now and if you need to, sell it and upgrade later.You can pickup a Sony 9000ES for around 800 bucks now.Angela
