| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? (1)Jaco.... While never really a Beatles fan, I'd pick McCartney in the non-Jazz category. Surprised he wasn't mentioned more! | |
| Would you buy speakers with out first listening ? I live in a smaller city and had just brought home a pair of the new B&W 805S to demo. I had listened to them for 8 hours and was ready to buy the next day. I happened to look on Audiogon that same day and saw an incredible deal on Focus Audio... | |
| Speaker distance and tow in?????/ Sean, can you elaborate on that 'old trick'.. do you mean you can find a better placement by using mono and once that is achieved then going back to stereo? (maybe a condensed answer if you've already posted this) I couldn't find it. Also, thank y... | |
| Are in-wall speakers worth considering? Cyto and Wade these are nightmare stories and I'm not gonna be able to sleep tonight. I've been lucky only because my brothers and sisters know how fanatical I am about my stuff and I know they've talked to their children. I was not a model kid wh... | |
| Are in-wall speakers worth considering? DBX..one more comment and I'll get off my soap box. I'm assuming you're into audio or you wouldn't be looking for advice on Audiogon. The above posters have excellent suggestions, however it appears that most of them use 'in wall' as background mu... | |
| Are in-wall speakers worth considering? Please don't do it. I liken it to going from a sports car to a mini-van. I had a buddy who was a audiophile who did this--his wife was thrilled, but to me it sounded like bose music. My comments are totally unfair as i have not heard the above sys... | |
| Sub-$1000 preamp recommedations sought I second the Adcom GFP-750..especially used. Excellent value for the money. | |
| Pass Lab x2.5 preamp owners -- plse help Like Stehno and others said the X2.5 is allowing the high frequencies to 'pass' through more than did the Adcom. The X2.5 is a beautiful piece of equipment and I think I have a synergy mismatch with my amp or speakers. The Focus Audio have a very ... | |
| What do you listen to when no one else can hear it I have no BeeGees music and hated it in the 70's..but if I hear it on the radio now, I don't mind it. And for that confession I fully expect to be banned from Audiogon. | |
| Last 4 Years - Votes for Best Speaker Ever Heard Hi_hifi.. if i ever start my own company will you come work for me? | |
| To much wattage for B & W 805s ?? Thank you all for confirming this.. My equipment is not as high end as what some of you have. A number of you mentioned 'good clean power'. Does my 'poor mans' Levinson (the Proceed HPA-2) at 0.1% THD fall in that category. Again I do not listen a... | |
| best wife friendly monitor? Whoa.. with all due respect, I'd be carefull about calling the B&W 805 series - 'wife' friendly. I've been in showrooms and actually heard comments like, "I'll be damned if that's going in our living room", and "it looks like a miners light is... | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? one thing nice about being old was i got to see some great guitarists live.. clapton with cream circa 1968 was top of the list followed by hendrix last show in the U.S. (denver 1969) and jeff beck with jan hammer mid 70's. i couldn't agree more wi... | |
| Sophomore Slump? The best 2nd albums of all time slam dunk if you're over 50--cream: disraeli gears..seeing clapton live at this time was about the best live show i've seen.. | |
