| Basic Repertoire Obviously this is much more complex a resource than what you're looking for, it may help. Once you've narrowed it down and clicked on a particular composer, there are usually suggested recordings and CD reviews for various works.http://www.classic... | |
| What qualifies a "low baller" First off, me definition seems a little different. When i think of a low baller, I envision someone who is offering you a ridiculously low price on something to keep you interested and then when it comes time to close the deal, won't honor his pri... | |
| Ambient / New Age Anyone? Thanks Richard. I do have Stearns' M'Ocean, which I enjoyed, but haven't listened to in a while. Perhaps it's time to give it a spin.Robert mentioned Dweller at the Threshold (why do I think of Piper at the Gates of Dawn when I see that?) and I ch... | |
| Innaugural DVD "But remember the most important thing is the "snuggle factor" If your wife associates watching movies with you with snuggling, your home free, It won't matter if your watching gumby reruns, she'll love it."Really Dbx??? Hmmm.....wonder if they've... | |
| Ambient / New Age Anyone? I tried this when I first got that album and I kept it intact for quite a few years. Very impressive room filling qualities, though it was not perfect for all music. Here's a link to the info from that album.http://music.hyperreal.org/artists/bria... | |
| Ambient / New Age Anyone? Robert, yes I have been a longtime TD fan. Love White Eagle, Phaedra, Tangram, etc. Will check out the Threshold. Thanks.Slipknot1 - Do you know of Reich's 'Counterpoint?' - seems I recall hearing good things about that.Chris | |
| Ambient / New Age Anyone? Rwwear - I agree that technically Tan Dream are not ambient, but for my own classifications I pretty much group all ambient/electronica together. Admittedly blurring the line a bit.Rzemoski - I have a Stearns CD - M'Ocean which is good. Also, Eno/... | |
| Ambient / New Age Anyone? Ahhh, yes Ben. I have Harold Budd's 'Lovely Thunder', which is excellent. I also have most of the Eno collection. Saw Boards of Canada and Pan Sonic mentioned in the other thread - will have to check it out. I have heard some of Sylvian's recordin... | |

| Best Setup Disc? Thanks for your reply, Scott. Can you comment on the audio setup portions of those discs?Thanks,Chris | |
| Inwall Speaker Cable & Bi-Wire Question: I have just done my rear surrounds with Audioquest Type 4+. It can be had for less than $3 per foot. I would use that or Type 2 (cheaper, thinner). Both are good values for their sound quality and are rated for inwall use. BTW, most small rear sur... | |
| Speakers for the real world. Placement problems. You might audition some of the Snell towers. The all have good, tight bass (37 Hz and below) and offer options not found on other speakers that make them placement friendly - such as a rear firing tweeter (can be disabled) for spatial effect, and ... | |
| Small Sub w/ Connectivity >>I think the REL Q201E is smaller No, actually the 150 is smaller - but basically they're the same size, give or take a few mm.>>You should also consider the REL ST series (STratus, STorm, etc). More musical, but not as much slam for ... | |
| Budget DVD-A with good sound? Except that the Tosh 4700 has the Chroma bug.Chris | |
| SUBWOOFER FOR MUSIC Aram,Actually, I think the E.5s have very good bass. Accurate, fast and fairly deep. There are a lot of false perceptions on bass. Many coming from some units that lack in low frequency response and are peaked up in the higher bass regions to give... |
