| Looking to upgrade speakers. You could try Theil 2.3/2.4's. Also B&W CDM-7's. The new Monitor Audio S series seems to have too much bass. I thought the older Monitor Audio had great, musical bass, vs,. the newer "home theater" bass that B&W CM-4 offers. Although B&... | |
| Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Speakers with metal or aerogel drivers sound better on piano than my kevlar B&W's. Ellis 1801's (seas) and Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 (aerogel)are examples. Since piano is a percussion instrument, you need a stiff driver to keep the impact sharp... | |
| Stainless stell stoves are cool, but not high-end B&W sells in-wall speakers. Tweeters Etc. has a display of in-wall speakers. | |
| Adcom GFP-750 Modfication Question Michael Percy Audio sells Black Gates. If all you have to do is swap out cap's maybe you could do it yourself and not have to ship out the pre.FWIW, I asked Adcom about swapping out components and they told me they use high quality components thro... | |

| Gilmore Audio planars revealed A 2 ton jet is lighter than the air it displaces too. Otherwise could'nt get off the ground. | |
| Grain free, how to identify it My take is that vocals sound rough and coarse like the singer has a hoarse throat. | |
| Need to clean some cds Power tools, you need power tools my friend.Seriously, doing anything to the CD's will only make them sound worse. Polishing one area will made the surface wavy- not a good thing. And any scratch removing polish will put in zillions of finer scrat... | |
| Sensitive Monitors Warrenh, how about Merlin TSM's or Red Rose? I agree, 100wpc runs out fast with the M20's. | |
| Best Rock, Blues, Jazz speaker under $1,500. Polk Lsi 15's from Crutchfield or www.jandr.com. Paradigm also has bass. | |
| Paper Cones in HiFi? Paper is the most natural sounding to my ears. But it lacks dynamics and high volume capability.To add to TWL's post, I think paper is good for absorbing unwanted resonances in the driver. Better than metal and polypropylene (that's a low end mate... | |
