| Need monitors with a BIG sound First, ask her to do you a favor and live with them for a month. She may be sufficiently beguiled by the sound that she'll agree to them.Or (the approach I used in my married days) just say, "Honey, I love you. Get over it" and then sweat out the ... | |
| Hypex HS200 amp vs Marchand for use as sub amp... I just had a thought. Anybody ever try driving a home subwoofer with a car subwoofer amp?will | |
| HELP: Subwoofer for music A short time back, the listening group of which I am a member (systems from $3000 to $300,000 and 15,000+ pieces of software) did a shootout between a REL Stentor III and a VMPS Larger Subwoofer with a Marchand xover and Crown K2 amp.To the absolu... | |
| Out on the tiles...with speaker spikes. I second TWL's motion for coins or hockey pucks. No need to spend a lot on tweaky stuff. One friend bought round lamp finials made of chrome plated steel. The tips of the spikes dropped into the threaded hole and the overall effect was to protect ... | |
| Anyone audition/own the new McIntosh speakers? I heard them briefly a few weeks ago in a less than ideal listening arrangement, driven by Carver electronics.

| Senior Audiophiles - Audiophile since the 60-70's? Got my first "serious" system in 1957, at the age of 12, thanks to an uncle in the business.

| The end of Cinepro? Yesterday I noticed a local dealing offering his Cinepro stock at really incredible discounts. When I asked why, he just said, "Oh, no reason, really."Yeah, right.will | |
| Diana Krall's New CD "Live in Paris"???? I think the album is quite nice. Her playing is adequate to good and her voice is warm, full, appealing. She sticks to what she can do well, both in terms of repertoire and technique. The recording quality is pretty good considering that it was a ... | |

| Cocktail of choice when listening to fav music? Natalie,The addition of perhaps a teaspoon of water to an ounce or two of single malt just files the edge off a touch and makes the sipping even more sublime.
