| "Best" speakers new/used under $3,000? Most everyone recommends the speaker they own so you get the broken record on the site.Buy used and you can get some great deals, up to 60% off on some relatively new speakers in some cases. Be careful with older models of great speaker lines beca... | |
| Anyone running Totem Forests w/Dreamcatcher subs? I've owned the Forests and think they are great but they don't go much below 30hz. So if you want full range you need a different speaker or a sub or two.For me only maybe 15% of my listening requires bass lower than 30 hz but these are some of my... | |
| B&w 803s. Vs nautilus 802 Are you interested in low frequency? If so, the 802 will go lower but you will miss some of the improvements in the 803s in the mid and high frequencies.Never understand why B&W isn't interested in coming up with better low end response all ar... | |
| CD mastering a lost art? Nicely said Mezmo. Too bad. | |
| Speakers that are RAP music proof I would contact Dave Wilson. He's spent countless hours listening to Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, Public Enemy, etc... | |
| Cheapest way to ship large speakers? A good friend! | |
| ARC DSI200 or Bryston 4bsst2 & ARC SP16L I don't think the SP16L will add much warmth IMO. You might want to spend a little more and look at something a CAT or Joule, VAC or Hovland. More detail and less coolness.Nice room by the way. | |
| Who stay with Merlin longest time Perhaps Jimbeam2 would be a more appropriate username. I am a virgin to the Merlin sound. Where in the Boston area can I hear them? Any dusty pairs hanging around the shop that you can ship off for a demo? From what I read I think I would like them. | |
| Does anyone have a Bryston 4b-st driving horns? Buy a tube amp. They are simple to maintain. Changing tubes is like pulling a carrot out of the ground. To add a tube simply line up the notches and push down and sway very gently and the tubes slide into place.Try this and you will not look back. | |
| Favorite music Thanks Albert, thanks to you, that is a new favorite of mine as well. Please forward similar recommendations. Be well! | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences Got it. I tried to run the scenario so many different ways but got lost. I came up the with the high school friend who owned the 2k car with the 8k stereo. That didn't seem right. Next thought the opposite... 8k car with 2k stereo. That started to... | |
| Under $2000 speaker for McIntosh MA6500 Can you give a couple examples of speakers you have heard and like/don't like. Also how loud do you like to play music? Are you looking for full range (hard to find at that price) or can you like with a speaker that only goes to 40hz? | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences Okay, check the listing for the Essence Time Warp Candy Gloss direct from Zu. Original price $10,200 selling for $6,000 new. Great deal since they are new at $6000, well under the list of $10,200.The Zu site lists them for $4,000 a pair. The Essen... | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences Point taken. I guess it is not fair or respectful of the design or tastes of other people. I apologize for that. I think I am still feeling sore about losing a bunch of cash on them too. I picked them up from a dealer at a discount prior to Zu dro... | |
| Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences I've owned them both and think they suck. Sold the Essence to a frequent poster here who claims they are not very good and moved on. I've heard the latter models and they are okay but still are not that great especially when compared to slightly h... |
