Upgrade my Monitor audio Studio 12
What size is your room? What equipment do you have?I could certainly suggest speakers to try - the new Monitor Audio Silver S line is a great place to start - big improvement over older lines. You could try JMLabs Cobalt line - very efficient but ... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
It is interesting to read everyone posts/opinions. I really don't think speaker design has really changed much - materials on the cones, maybe, but they are basically put together in the same way. It still is an art to design a speaker properly. A... 
Michigan - Any Interest?
Even though we had a small group, the 1st meeting of the Mid-Michigan Audio Society was a success. I want to thank all the people who came - you made it really a wonderful experience. Now, we need to plan our next meeting - where do we want to hol... 
How long it take to run in brand new loudspeaker?
I recently heard the new Monitor Audio Silver S line of speakers and they sounded fantastic right out of the box. I mean they were unpacking them before I listened to them. There have been many threads on different forums on this exact topic and I... 
Michigan - Any Interest?
This is the last announcement for the Mid-Michigan Audio Society on Oct 26th in Okemos, MI at 1:30 PM. If interested email me and I will send you the directions to my house. This will be an informal meeting and will revolve around socializing with... 
Linn's Ninka speaker: Anyone heard it??
I have heard the Ninka's on an all Linn system and was surprised by the muddiness of sound (was playing Bela Fleck and the Flecktones - Outbound). Many of the instruments got lost or couldn't hear them. They were much better, though, than the Vien...

AV receiver for 4 ohm speakers?
The switches are actually small resistors that you can move in and out of the electrical path. They may change the way your speakers sound - don't use them. It is a cheesy way to get your 4 ohm speakers look 8 ohm to your amp.My old H-K 795i recei... 
Michigan - Any Interest?
You gentlmen are making me self-conscious about my old and slightly updated system. Granted, it is not 'Hi' HiFi, just what I would call 'Mid' HiFi. Still, it sounds great to me and I guess that is the most important thing. We need to plan a meeti... 
plasma versus lcd
I have bought a new plasma - Pioneer 433CMX. I think plasmas, especially the last generation are much improved. They do not look 'pixelated' except with a really poor source, such as regular cable. I think progressive scan DVD's look nothing short... 
Matching Royd Speakers
Very old joke!! I don't think Jo AckROYD would appreciate jokes on his company. They are old!!! 
Michigan - Any Interest?
We should set up an initial meeting. We reccently moved to the area, so we are still waiting on our living room furniture. We should have it towards the end of the month. Any interest for then?DaveEmail me if you are interested. 
Michigan - Any Interest?
I live in Okemos, MI (near Lansing) and have just replaced my speakers with a pair of Royd Doublets (unusual handmade English speakers). Would be open to have listening sessions and discussions. 
Matching Royd Speakers
South43,I did call Royd Loudspeakers and Jo Ackroyd answered the phone (I didn't know it at the time). He was very helpful and actually suggested Rega, because you want the British sound, you know. The one thing he did say was that the rear channe... 
Speaker break in?
"Supposedly" - notice the quotes - it is a placebo affect. There have been discussions on other forums about this and the debate is still going. I am not sure, myself.I do notice, if I switch between my speakers (Royd Doublets to OLD Bose 6.2 (yec...
