| Why do we stop listening to new music as we get older? The music I listen to is reflecting the mental place I‘m in, mostly. At some point high-energy music for venting feelings was what I needed. I experience much less need to delve into - for example - frustration and sadness nowadays. Now the music ... | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" The easiest thing to have online is an opinion. So here‘s mine: To me whatever Sting did in the last 40 years barely qualifies as music. It doesn’t do anything for me; I can’t learn anything from it. His post-Police stuff is either boring or mast... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @musiclover1 And I´m saying that the Cornwalls need subs even though they are fairly big speakers. Those are huge! | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Four! That is a lot. What speakers do they support? | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i And now: Subwoofers. I have received two subs to thouroughly test at home. SVS PB-1000 Pro and Rel T/7x. Both add exactly the depth and oomph that I was missing. As some may know I´m running the R-800i (805) with Klipsch Cornwalls IV, which are r... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i The amp is back and working well. To be honest, I didn´t really get what was wrong with it – the language barrier. It seems that there was something with the electrical wiring. Which didn´t even affect the tube: I asumed it was broken since there ... | |
| Is R.E.M. underrated by new music nerds? @seola30 So good that REM´s music gave you strength when you needed it. That´s a lot. And they have a lot of beautiful songs. Personally I´m more of an „until Automatic for the People“–person but there are great songs on all of their albums. But ... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller I may ask the local repair guy, but I´m facing two obstacles there: First one is that I wouldn´t know exactly what I´m talking about in the first place. I kind of get a sense what this missing resistor is about but could I explain it? N... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i Latest update: One of the 805s blew and the power fuse as well. I put all stock tubes back in (just to be on the safe side) and replaced the power fuse, which was well hidden for the amateur that I am in the socket of the power cable. When I turn... | |
| I feel bad for Generation X and The Millennial's The boomer sentiment of the OP aside, there´s one thought I keep having: I actually pity the young generation for having everything instantly available. A sense of historicity is not part of experiencing music and the thrill of discovery is mostl... | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @charles1dad It´s available in two versions: One running 805s and one running 845s. Either amp is not compatible with the other tubes. | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller I´m not using a subwoofer yet but I´m waiting for a reply from a dealer who is willing to send me two to compare (Rel T/7x and SVS PB 1000 Pro). The EQ I´m using is basically only to push the lows a bit. It also shows that the Cornwalls ... | |
| Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? John K. Samson (of The Weakerthans) | |
| So I bought the Willsenton R-800i @jbhiller First of all: Thank you so much for your elaborate description of the characteristics of the amp and its pairing with the Cornwalls. I´m lacking both language skills and ways to put into words in my own to properly describe what I´m hear... | |
| When CDs first came onto the market in 1982 ....... As far as I know the dominance of streaming ended the loudness war as we knew it. Spotify, Amazon etc let their own algorythms adjust the loudness (and whatnot) after they were uploaded. That’s why we rarely have to adjust the volume when listenin... |
