| Audiophile Active Speakers? I have actives now after trying quite a few audiophile monitors. Actually mine are only part active but I can't imagine getting better sound out of a pair of monitors for 5x the price I paid. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store +1 more for B&H. When I lived in Philly my wife and I went to NYC every Sunday and that was always our first stop. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store Say what you want about the "grease balls" at guitar center but in my experience they are always welcoming and enthusiastic as well as down to earth vs the stick up the a%% stiffs at the HiFi shops who appear to only be concerned about making a sa... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store I don't believe anyone on here is advocating the op go in and waste the salesman's time. In my experiences with shops most of the time store is empty and if the sales staff is busy I wait until they are finished before I ask questions. Most often ... | |
| Audience THE ONE on Desktop Need amp Weird I have a pair of Sound Field Audio M1 outfitted with the uniq driver from kef and do not find them to be harsh at all. In a nearfield set up they are incredible. | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store No offense Bcgator but you just contradicted yourself by comparing Ruth's Chris and Applebees.

That's insane. The equipment is on display for a... | |
| Walking Into A Brick & Mortar High End Audio Store My friend and I make the rounds in the twin cities audio shops once or twice a year and are always met with the same contempt by the sales staff. Neither of us have intentions of buying mostly because I would rather spend money elsewhere than with... | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? This is obviously an attempt to set off some fire works people lighten up. | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Precisely my point tubegroover I was being facetious. This thread is as many have said is pointless. Even if everyone of us could agree on say Bose, there are thousands of people who love the stuff and would completely disagree. | |
| Most overrated audio manufacturers? Oydessey and quicksilver. I had a Jolida 202q that was just as good as a pair of quicksilver mid Mono's for less than half the price. | |
| Best imaging and sounding bookshelf speaker +1 @ doggiehowser. The Soundfield m1 uses the kef coax uniq driver augmented with an 8" powered long throw subwoofer. They are the best imaging speakers I have heard under $5000 and cost a fraction of that. | |
| Audiophile Active Speakers? Soundfield audio m1. I have heard a few adams and while quite good the soundfields to me are in a different league. |
