| Sneaky new internet tax pushing through fast No way!We pay a multitude of taxes already.The mindset of this country is really changing to support an ever larger and greedier federal government that spends recklessly. Citizens are better off when more of their money stays in their pocket.Rega... | |
| Greatest Composers of All Time Mceljo,No I'm not. I willing to give it a listen, but jazz and classical are just different to me.I wonder how one could blend these two forms successfully. Regards, | |
| Jazz for aficionados Learsfool,Well said.As much as I truly enjoy listening to jazz with my system, it won't ever replace the feel and vibe I experience at the jazz clubs I frequently attend. There's no substitute. Regards, | |
| Magico Comparison I don't see any point in making this a Magico bashing thread, what will that serve? There are very proud and content Magico owners who have contributed to this thread.It they're happy that really is all that matters, I happen to love products that... | |
| Greatest Composers of All Time I'm glad this thread was initiated.My knowledge base is deeply rooted in jazz, but I'm beginning to include Classical music in the last year or so. Bach's music immediately caught my ear, hope this means I'm headed in the right direction. Just lov... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Rok,I feel the same, Wynton isn't my favorite trumpeter or the"best".I do enjoy his music and have much respect for him on several different levels. Like you I long ago tired of the redundant bashing. Regards, | |
| Magico Comparison What is so unusual about a product that generates varying impressions pro and con? Name an audio component that everyone agrees on and lacks any difference of opinion.Magico is a successful enterprise and has loyal support. It doesn't suit everyon... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Maxmad,I realized that this thread has been inactive for a while, but oh well.Are you still using AVVT in your Cary amp? I've been using the AVVT 32b SL for the last several weeks and honestly, this is a wonderful 300b. We have different amplifier... | |
| Magico Comparison As usual, well said Larryi. | |
| 10-15k budget in a 6m x 4m room. Please help. Nieveulv,If limited to the choices on your list and given your stated sonic/musical objectives. I would make an effort to hear the Rockport.The amplifier you choose must mate well with the speaker,you can`t seperate the two,they work as a team.Reg... | |
| Jazz for aficionados It certainly doesn`t mean he`s a better musician.It is sheer evidence he`s far more popular and has legions of fans who are happy consumers of his product.Was Michael Jackson a better musician than T.Monk?Regards, | |
| Magico Comparison Marv,The entire purpose of audio components is to reproduce music in our homes and hopefully sound good doing so. Don`t misunderstand my point, I`m not crtical of anyone who likes the Magico speakers. That`s nothing more than preference.The idea y... | |
| Magico Comparison Marvi26,You post expresses genuine emotion but is poorly reasoned.New and innovative with much R and D is admirable but doesn't ensure good sound in the end, different sound, sure. People who like Magico have no more valid opinions than those who'... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks Frogman,Max said just what you described, Harold was just a better fit.Max expressed much respect for Sonny's talent and stature, he simply preferred the playing of Land. The fate of a wonderful saxophonist like Land playing in small town v... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Thanks O-10,I read long ago an interview with Max Roach where he`s discussing his band of the 1950s.He said they preferred Land to Sonny Rollins at that time.Many jazz fans likely found that surprising as Land is by far the lesser known of those t... |
