I'm looking forward to listening tonight.....
Uh, my wife is happy because we're having a hardwood floor installed in the dining room. I'm unhappy because there are a bunch of long heavy flooring boxes stacked where my listening chair normally is. Guess I'll bundle up and head for the garage ... 
Amp suggestions please...need some power
I had Goldi's and used a Rotel RB-1090 which will deliver over 700W to your PSB's and they will love every watt. It was a great combo. After my first RB-1090 I walked the upgrade path to Nuforce and even the hallowed Parasound JC-1's. Neither was ... 
Fun Little Project for improving Dynamics
What jeans should I wear while dissolving the salt? 
Class D vs Class A Education
Inna, wear hemp jeans to offset your wasteful Class A amp. 
I know this has probably been discussed...
Try the new John Mellencamp CD. Recorded in mono, on an old Ampex reel-to-reel, in historic venues with everyone standing around the same mike, and no mixing or dubs afterwards. Thirteen songs written in thirteen days. Kind of upside down and back... 
Seasoned ears only
Elizabeth is right about nostalgia. The Double Advents and Kenwood amp and pre that got me evicted from my first apartment in Santa Cruz over thirty years ago are now part of the best garage stereo in Capitola. Good thing I'm the landlord now! 
Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY
I just completely revamped my stereo to work in the house we moved to two years ago. It took the full two years to get it right and it sounds really good. Now my wife wants to rip out the wall to wall carpeting and put in hardwood floors. Here we ... 
Monitors for Large Room
I can wholeheartedly recommend the Usher BE-718's. I love mine and they do a pretty good job of acting like a full range speaker particularly with your taste in music. Probably not with a tube amp though as they love power and you have a large roo... 
Rotel Rb 1090 or Rb 1092
I loved my RB-1090 enough to buy one a second time after selling my first one. I had been down the "upgrade path" and back after owning a couple of other highly respected expensive amps. Low end? Not a problem for this amp-it has a full sound from... 
Grammys for 2010, so far...
I don't run out and buy the stuff People magazine recommends but sometimes they accidentally get something right. 
Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation?
First song, first listen to John Mellencamp's new album last night. Gave me that feeling of when a songwriter's career just hit a new plateau and left a bunch of his compadres in the dust. I'm a huge Springsteen, Earle, Guy Clark, etc fan and I'll... 
Wilson Audio- The rest of the story
Wpines, 4-500% profit? Nope. If the dealer paid around $8K for the speakers and sold them for around $16K that would be only 100% MARKUP, not profit. Gross profit $ would be 50% of the sell price-not 500%. For 100% profit the cost must be zero and... 
Lucinda Williams live
Glad to hear Lucinda can put on a good show. My wife and I saw her on the last date of her tour a couple of years ago. She was exhausted, said so-we felt sorry for her, and the show was lackluster. Saw Beth Orton and she forgot her own lyrics. Kas... 
Using 2 Subwoofers
Sidssp,I am aware of all the tech reasons you're referring to. In my room I can't place the sub in the middle because there's a large aquarium smack in between the speakers (has been for the last 35 years in a number of homes). With a single sub o... 
Using 2 Subwoofers
I second the JL Audio brand recommendation but I think (hear) that bass is stereo, too just like the rest of the spectrum. I use a pair of JL F110's and love the sound. Had one larger sub before these and two are definitely better than one for my ...
