| Best for Classic/Progressive Rock and Blues Your Thiels need way more juice than your NAD can dish out. In fact, you can damage either, since the Thiels do dip to 1.6 ohms. Get a pair of old Advents and be done. | |
| If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments? No such thing as a system, including the room, that doesn't need some help. Whether it is DSP, or treatments, it helps. | |
| Anyone else order Caladans from Clayton Shaw? He was at AXPONA. So that can be an issue. I heard these speakers at AXPONA, colour me not impressed at all. YMMV. | |
| Are You a Swifty? @tylermunns disingenuous question. I am sure she will After all, musical sensibilities have changed and Beyonce and Taylor are the best selling artists. Also have way more awards. I won't be alive so I care not one whit. | |
| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? No not al all. One designer was Joe Ackroyd (who worked for Goodmans, Wharfedale, and designed the first Rega speakers the ELA also Royd Audio). He was one that said absolutely no difference. They did try it.

| People complain about lack of bass, not enough mid range. Solution? When I have talked to SEVERAL speaker designers, most stated that bi-amping does nothing. | |
| Are You a Swifty? Can I laugh here. People are reacting like their parents did. I remember my parents saying, while in college, ’Why do you listen to that Junk? It will rot your brain’. The same with new music and how people are reacting negatively in this thread.... | |
| Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama Just remember, the FTC has sued companies for hiding bad reviews. Consumer Review Fairness Act: What Businesses Need to Know | Federal Trade Commission (ftc.gov) | |
| Long run XLR cables I am using Blue Jean cables lowest cost XLR's for 18 ft run. They use the same connectors as the more expensive brands. | |
| Axpona 2024 who is going and why? I felt one of the surprises of the show, for me was SPL. They are a brand designed and built in Germany. Not expensive equipment compared to D'Agostino (which I felt sounded so grainy this year). They are looking to get into the US market and I th... | |
| No discussion about the Synergistic Pink fuse? If you almost hear - it is your brain telling you that because you want it to sound different. This is all psychology. | |
| I see the issue with ABX blind testing I am sorry that blind testing is so hard. I mean, that is how drugs, etc. are tested. Yes, it would take some planning but can be done. After all the Boston Audio Society did it with amplifiers in the 1980's. It can be done. Just remember, our br... | |
| Meeting up with members even where there is no sale Friday night have plans to see Billy Broom at AXPONA. | |
| Benefits of adding a 10MHz Master Clock to a digital system I haven't tried it. I was at several friends' houses who had clock systems, like 5 yrs ago and never heard a difference - with or without. Maybe I just don't have those 'Golden Ears'. |
