| building the best system I can? Lol! I just got into all this 8 months ago and initially bought a used onkyo t..7... Something or rather and a pair of new mini monitors. It sounded good enough that I caught the bug. Since then I have bought/ upgraded quite a bit and will save yo... | |
| How long untill I can really Flog them Hard I have the same question because I've got a new pair of paradigm studio 20's. I'm taking it kind of easy for 100 hours or so since I cranked my then new studio 10's on day 1 or 2, heard a pop then backed off immediately. After that, the speaker th... | |
| Best Audiophile chair around $200 Oh, and a side note. Samhar, Milpai, and jaxwired, all of your systems are awesome! Very very nice, even though I don't have a clue what it is - lol. You fellas are on a different plane than I, jaxwired, in my opinion and for my taste, you have th... | |
| Best Audiophile chair around $200 Thanks everyone! I wondered if I was going to get some sarcastic responses, or even any at all. It's interesting to see split responses on the Ikea chair. GeoffKait thought it was horrible, yet that's what Milpai uses and he has a nice looking set... | |
| Best speaker at Walmart Lol... B&W @ wal-mart. | |
| What's your profession? Age? I'm currently working as a cook, hopefully soon to be selling real estate. I just turned 34 last week. | |
| Swapping Paradigm studio 100 tweeter to Beryllium I'm guessing that the beryllium tweets are expensive. I'm interested in what you find out as I just got some studio 20's two days ago after owning studio 10's for three months. On a side note, how long did you play your speaker at moderate levels ... | |
| Test CD : In Phase / Out of Phase test That's funny because whenever my imaging is off, it's always to the right side. I've actually wondered at times if my right ear is just stronger than the left. Moving my equipment from in between my speakers to the back of the room fixed the probl... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Great thread! I think I get all tied up in the equipment sometimes and forget that it's ultimately about the music. I can't wait to start looking into the music mentioned on this thread :-) and after I do, I'll list some that moved me. | |
| Adcom 5503 not producing Bass I was using an adcom 545 with a classe ssp 25 pre amp and paradigm studio 10's. It too lacked bass and sounded a bit thin on the higher frequencies. I purchased a used classe ca-150 ($800) and am really happy! Great bass, lots of detail and more p... | |
| Speaker cables or interconnects?? I have a pair of 25 foot blue jeans cables (10 gauge) with bananas cold welded. I did a back to back comparison with a pair of 7 foot audioquest rocket 44's. Couldn't get the rocket's to stay in my amp very well at all and I actually preferred the... | |
| In a quandry wrapped in an enigma I heard totems are picky about placement, and need lots power. The sales people that I talked to weren't that impressed with them and didn't think I should really consider them even though I wanted to like the totems. I wonder why they carry them ... | |
| What are your general thoughts of B&W speakers I like the b&w 802's. They sounded great to me everytime I've heard them. They always had serious amps hooked to them but they sound great to me. Great bass and what seemed to me as having a good amount of "bloom". I'd like to hear some sonus ... | |
| Best speaker at Walmart I agree with prpixel.Are you opposed to buying used off Craigslist? It may be possible for you to get something nicer if you buy used. If not, wal Mart will take returns. Just sample a few different kinds! | |
| How much does your system retail for? Retail: estimating $9,000What I paid: $3,500What is hard for me is that it's totally addicting and I just want to keep upgrading. Shoot, I usually buy something already knowing what the next upgrade will be. Since I started this craziness 8 months... |
