Best Movie Soundtrack
Any Morrocone fans: Get "Once Upon A Time In America" (or if not a fan/ you will become one). Not a bad movie either;Sergio Leone/ De Niro. Made in 1983. As good as "they " get.(the duo or the movie) Haunting and captivating themes. 
Changing Amps?? Are you Sure??
Hi, guys good thread, good insight......Most people don't know, just how much you can change the sound of your speakers,by changing your amp/or upgrading the source. So, many have thrown out the baby, with the bath water.(sold the speakers/or amp)...

TEACH ME ABOUT BI-WIRE
Kinda a slow day/I'll tell you how/ what little I know; (this should be a very short story) If your speakers have what you described / It matters not, about the double posts on the amp end. You can buy an identical pair of wires/double them on the...

Thanks Craig. I don't know why the -s irritate me, but thanks,--nice guy!! BTW,I got the (in my case) loss of base slam from 2 places. One was a NY dealer who carries both speakers;another nice guy. I told him I was calling from 3,000 mi. away;and...

Thanks for the 4 minuses....whomever.Feel better?? With a class A rating on these speakers,I would assume this is a "perceived " problem.While I'm not a 3.8 owner; I had a serious interest in a pair,at a local shop.I read the review Jan /00. Tweet...

Listening further back /better than going outside.Finding the focal point within the room seems to be the ans. I doubt they only sell them to 7 foot people. 
Bi-wiring mishap
You know you guys are mean spirited;laughing at K's mis fortune(or his so ) I live near LA, I'd be happy to come over,and help you bi wire.After we're finished,I need somebody to hold the fan belt,while I start the motor and check my alternator. 
Integrated amp with 2 pair binding posts
Maybe one set is for 4,the other 8 ohm speakers? Where's da' manuall? 
Newbies Biamp question.
Yes,with two main outs,it "could be that simple" /or not.I'm posting this so we will get lots of corrections, if I'm wrong. If both amps are simularily loud../ (meaning,say the volume is equal at the 9 o'clock position,for each amp.)This has to do... 
Is Component "Upgradability" Important ?
Your response seems to general.Manufacturers look at it differently.Some of the real expensive stuff is costly to upgrade. I remember reading of a Levinson piece, where the upgrade is 4k.Dunlavy sure devaluated the IV,when they came out with the I...

You get what you pay for .Just don't pay top dollar for a plain one.I love Theta's position.The guy who bought it new,paid the big bucks, is deserving of the price break,on upgrades.I bought mine new ,had the a-mod;then the best of all the 24/96 m... 
Best Movie Soundtrack
Just watched "Almost Famous": Great movie, w/ great music. Just got Ennio Morriconie's "Melana", also great;anything by him,or John Barry. With 350 soundtracts to his credit;5 nominations,but no oscar; E M 's being up against "Crouching Tiger, Hid... 
Impulsive audio purchase
Noonen:...... You are what we call. WAAAAY beyond help.I could understand, say If you had the reg. cd,but bought the MoFi cd. Must have been one great price.Reminds me of the line from a Woody Allen movie:.....Two old ladies coming out of a restau... 
Powrering speakers with a receiver
Well the truth is; a great speaker alone, does not, a great system make.Same could be said for amps,pre amps,or any other single component.Using a race car as an example. The right motor,the right chassis,the right tranny,the right suspension,the ...
