| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio Slappy,I looked - I'm not materialistic!! | |
| Some thoughts about value in high-end audio I believe the high-end gear is overpriced. However, I say that as a personal opinion and in terms of what I need. My set-up would cost $1,800 - $2,000 new. I am aware that if I wanted to spend more I would get more enjoyment. I have listened to hu... | |
| $1130 system for a musician, please : I am also a musician with similar tastes, although I rarely listen to piano. I have made a hobby of auditioning budget gear. I have decided while there is a very real difference between good budget gear and the high priced, it is not enough of a d... | |
| Are Sub-woofers really for music? As I started looking for speakers, I noticed I didn't like many, if any, floor standers. I wanted to, but they just didn't seem to have the detail. I'm also a dedicated "budget buyer" and I'm sure that didn't help. However, I did find speakers tha... | |
| Have A Great Summer Everyone Good luck with whatever your new endeavors are on the "Left" coast. I'll be leaving my present occupation of 31 years to make a change this year. It is thrilling and wish you the same excitement I'm going through. | |
| Completely restructuring my modest system.. I have a budget system. I started out with B&W. I really liked them, but something was'nt quite right. I've gone to PSB and I find them a bit less bright, but every bit as detailed. As a bonus, they are better at low volume levels, which I enj... | |
| Integrated Amp and Speakers for a teenager? I've got the NAD 320BEE($299) integrated and PSB Image 2B($299) speakers. I'm not an audiophile, but I am a musician and I love every minute of my listening. This is a good combination for listening at softer levels. | |
| Average Price Spent for Speakers Your questions is wide open to many interpretations. I have been in this game for only 8 months. I do not consider myself an audiophile. I am, however, a musician with a music degree and a music lover. I decided I was going to go on e-bay and audi... | |
| Carmina Burana - I need a good CD Thanks for all your input. I picked up a copy of the Blomstedt/SFO. It's great. | |
| Idea for speeding up transactions It's a good idea. What I do is estimate using my scales at home and the UPS/FedEX website. I try to be conservative in my estimate. If the actual cost is less, then I reimburse. This is very easy if you use PayPal. I know some don't like to use Pa... | |
| How to tame the high of harbeth C7 Danvetc,It seems I remember from an earlier post that you and I have similar listening habits. So, I would be interested in two things. First, what amp set-up do you use now, and second, what do you mean "listening in near-field."John | |
| Two way vs. Three way Speakers I like big orchestra music with big choirs singing. So far I've not heard many speakers handle that kind of music. I think the overtones of the choir combined with the orchestra is very limiting to most speakers. Admittedly, I am new to this and I... | |
| Did you ever just want to simplify? I've only been at this for about 8 months. I have old NAD equipment and PSB Image 2b speakers. Not much money involved. However, tonight I was alone and listened to Sweet Honey and the Rock. I could hear all the distinct voices, breathing, diction... | |
| Creek 4330 Mk2 and bi-amping Thanks Dave,The article was very informative. Now I have a good idea what bi-amping can do. I still need to know if this can be accomplished with the Creek 4330 Mk2. Any ideas?John | |
| Which is the best recording of Bach's Mass in B mi Timwat,Thanks for your post. What I'm listening for is detail and separation in the choral parts without being muddied up with bass. So far almost every speaker I've listened to has sounded muddy, especially when the choral parts are introduced. T... |
