| The best "imaging" speakers? About the best I've ever had was my Gallo Reference 2s. You could be just about anywhere in the room and see/hear the performance from that vantage point. The performers didn't move, your perspective of the performance changed, it blew me away. I'... | |
| crossover newb with passive subwoofer questions What you are currently using is a Speaker level crossover. Your amp feeds a full range signal to a crossover built into your sub. This crossover divides the signal sending part to your sub, and the rest to your other speakers.What sub and speakers... | |
| First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie. Well it sounds like you're heading in the right direction. I'm fairly fiscally conscious, but still full of lust for things I can't really afford. My best advice is to figure out what your budget is and work within it. Going into a high-end store ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Not likely, I plan to fix what needs fixing and enjoy them as they are for a while.But we'll see, this audio thing sometimes runs a little further than we initially plan ;~) | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I'm looking forward to your thoughts.I'll be getting a set of older Ohm 2s myself this spring.They're in need of some repair, but worth the asking price...I just have to drive 200 miles each way to get 'em ;~) | |
| New Gallo 3.5's Scott and I traded a few emails, and he was great to work with, but in the end I decided to work with a family friend who builds custom furniture locally. He and I were able to sit down and discuss face to face exactly what I wanted, and all I'll ... | |

| What is a B&W 801M? Do they look similar to these?http://www.soundsgoodtomehouston.com/bw801/801_pairopen.jpgThese are the early matrix cabinets. I'm not a B&W historian by any means, but I had a friend back in my college days (mid '80s) who had a set. The "Matri... | |
| What is a B&W 801M? I believe those are the earlier Matrix series. Could you give more specifics as to the construction/appearance of the speakers? | |
| Where does fatique come from? Recordings can also be to blame. Some stuff on my system just makes me want to get up and turn it off, Sarah McLachlan, "Surfacing" comes to mind. I like her stuff, but this CD just sounds harsh. Then there is stuff I can just listen to for hours. | |
| Gallo 3.1 vs. B&W 804 vs. faber grand piano "01-30-09: HimWhat will match good with the 3.1s like center and surrounds? Or do I have to stick with the gallo line?"With multi-speaker set ups it is best that the speakers be as close in sound as possible. So yes, you should stick with the Gall... | |
| Gallo 3.1 vs. B&W 804 vs. faber grand piano Well I think that depends on how bad your audiophilia nervousa is. If I hadn't just bought my used 3.1s for $2K, I'd probably jump all over those 3.0s for $1250. YMMV | |
