| It looks like a debate to me. My take is that it’s nice to not have to choose. I enjoy reading the reviews on the tech sites but I also like to read what audio enthusiasts have to say about their daily life experiments and discoveries. Like my less-than-advantageous listenin... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? @slaw,You are absolutely correct — my space, side to side, is the limiting factor. But this room is what I have to work with. I mentioned above that my living room is larger and it would be easier to arrange my equipment there. But, that room i... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Loading music onto my Bluesound Vault 2i and came across an oldie but goodie: Brian Auger’s Oblivion Express, album is “Closer to It”. Mellow keyboard jazz. The better side has “Happiness is Just Around the Bend”. First heard it during the earl... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? I have been checking out some of the other recommended subs, and SVS and Hsu seem to offer the most bang for the buck (being a bang-for-buck guy myself). The 12” SVS do have a discount for buying two, but the wood grain ones just do not appeal to... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? Hi Tim. The layout of my room is a bit different than you are thinking. The other short wall is the one with the windows — my sectional is beneath those windows and then around the corner and takes up the wall that is to the left of my stereo (wh... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? Nicely dismissive, Tim! LolI just posted a grainy photo in my profile showing the space I am working with. Sorry it is so dark and fuzzy. The doors to the right are to my garage and laundry room, so cannot block those. The table that holds my ... | |
| Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers? Thank you to all who have responded to my question — I’m a beginner at this and trying to learn (I sure don’t mind the study!), and I want to benefit from the experiences and informed opinions of the members here.It looks like the consensus here i... | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? My first loudspeakers were Realistic Nova 7’s from Radio Shack. Within a few years, I was able to replace them with walnut large Advents. That was definitely an improvement, though it seemed that the Advents didn’t have some of the highs (or was... | |
| Amplifiers weight lordrootman: Now you have me intrigued. I bought the Parasound A21 because I thought it was just beautiful with the top panel removed (specs were good too, but it was the looks that got me). Now I have to check out that Anthem STR you are drool... | |
| Your first system and your journey... My first stereo was a cheapie off-brand (electrovoice or something similar) that had the am/fm radio and record changer in one box and two little speakers with 4” drivers. It sounded like you think it did. When I was 16, my parents gifted me a P... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? ejr1953: I cant think of a few good reasons why you bought such heavy equipment:1. (And most importantly) . . we are guys, and guys like over-sized and heavy stuff. Why buy a zippy car with a 2.0 liter engine and fuel injection that putts aroun... | |
| Items for sale without remotes. I see the OP’s point, but I have the opposite problem — I tend to misplace remote controls, so when I get new equipment I stow the remote away (sans batteries) and operate the equipment from the console switches/knobs. Then, when the equipment ge... | |
| i just want everyone to know.......... kennesaw: I am a total novice to audiophile equipment, but after on-line window shopping I got that same Furman device. I wondered if such a reasonably priced surge protector would be sufficiently clean and protective given the $6,000+ I’ve rece... | |
| So What Is Real? I would be interested to see the results of an blind experiment in which a variety of subjects, including some self-identified audiophiles, are presented with varieties of music played over the same equipment, in the same room, and the only variab... |
