| Why Do Cables Matter? @thyname I have several speakers, and different types of speakers, of various prices (though by the way I have not found that price determines musical satisfaction level nor even necessarily correlates with it). Some I've had for a long and satis... | |
| Why Do Cables Matter? @jasonbourne71 +1. All these claims by Lee were unsubstantiated by any lab measurements! He said " just listen". The "My golden ears told me it is so" crowd fell for this hype and bought miles of Monster Cable, making Noel Lee a multi-millionair... | |
| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? Epi M50... or one of the smaller Human Speakers models. | |
| Curious to know what you guys think/like about Pink Floyd's early work I like Piper, Saucer, Atom, Obscured, and Meddle... not necessarily every single cut, but overall I like all of that better than the unbearable Wall and Wish You Were Here. | |
| G Rated Comments About the Relevance of Pink Floyd’s Animals Album: I like Animals a lot better than Wish You Were Here and the Wall... Dark Side unfortunately is overproduced, imo.... so, Animals holds up for me. | |

| user poll on seperates vs integrated I’m in favor of integrated, for simplicity, efficiency of space, and bang for $$ ... Technics su-r1000 for just one example, at about 10k | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. not me. Even though I could, it would embarrass me to spend 80k on a sound system. And, I already have a robust solar power system, so I don't need the $ for that, either, since that's done. But, that's me... other priorities... | |
| $50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please. my opinion is you do not need to spend nearly that much to get awesome sound in a home | |
| Poll: Most impactful component Speakers are the most critical component. | |
| A ridiculously cheap cable riser. well... lol. that's all I'll say for this one. | |
| How do you high pass your main speakers? I don’t high pass... If the speakers are good enough, I trust the designers, so I want my mains to run full range as they were designed to do. I just cross the sub to come in where the mains start to roll off. Works well. | |
| Top two most important sound qualities for speakers: linearity and dispersion or: linearity and dynamism usually, though not always, linearity also means clarity. and, admittedly, not all great speakers are perfectly linear AND it is also in the ears of the beholder, always | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? I'd be careful about letting go of a nice Mac that you like... |
