| Best Computer Speakers - Need Help SedonaTheir was a bit of a cult like buzz on the Monsoon speakers, I think after they were reviewed in one of the high end audio journals.Despite this praise, the company went out of business or moved on to automotive markets or something, so I we... | |
| Best Computer Speakers - Need Help I would start by eliminating anything described as "computer speakers". Part of the mass downfall in the quality of reproduced music - in addition to the obvious culprit of MP-3 -- is the idea that you can get "great" "amazing" etc sound from a pa... | |
| Projector with very low noise fan TommyThe Panasonic AE7000 is exactly what you are looking for and all the rage right now with both critics and enthusiasts in low-moderately priced projectors.It is not built like a Roland amp, and needs to be used in low to no light, but otherwis... | |
| Music you didn't like at first... but now? Keith Jarret, especially "Facing You"At first, a bit esoteric. With time, mezmerizing! | |
| New York City -- Martinis, Steaks, Lobsters, Audio Glad we are stirring up some interest here, and look forward to getting everyone together! Jasonic and 55docyes I am familiar with Sparks which although certainly in the top 10 -- top 5? -- never compares, IMO, to the Post House or Peter Luger.The... | |
| Active Biamping of Your Dreams for Magneplanars HorsauceThanks for the description, but how does it sound?So you are also an advocate of active biamping?and Lbmp, a very astute comment about dealers, I think.I also get really irritated when the latest, newest, much more expensive technology is ... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration RoozeLooking at your diagram with the conventional setup, I would have predicted thin bass?Maybe its just me, or maybe I like boomier bass than most panel fans, but I always preferred the sound with my listening chair pushed up against the rear wa... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration RoozeI noticed the pictures of your listening room from before.Perhaps you can post a photo of the new Rooze configuration for us to see?Also, do you have any experience with Maggies having better bass when your back, as listener, is up against th... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration As a long time Magneplanar fan, this is a little out there for me.It would be very interesting to hear of other experiences if any of you are inclined to experiment.What happens to the bass? In my experience, Magneplanars can have very good bass, ... | |
| For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration Is this a joke? | |
| Coolest looking vintage tuner..... It's black, not silver, but Yamaha T-2 is extremely cool in my opinion.Also one of the best tuners ever. | |
| Your First Hi-Fi Hankering? Circa 1977, while attending a trashy public junior high school and longing to escape the bickering of my parents, I would escape to the solace of my olive green bedroom.There, I would kneel at the alter of my Soundesign "stereo" with plastic speak... | |
| Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used? If you check my system and threads, you will see I have a bias for Magneplanars, but it seems I always end up incorporating the following:1) unless specifically designed to be somewhere else, put your speakers as far out from the rear wall as poss... | |
| Active Biamping of Your Dreams for Magneplanars Perhaps I am using the expression incorrectly, but I was assuming I would abandon the internal crossovers and use an "active" crossover, perhaps an Audio Research or Pass Labs.My understanding is that the signal is then split at the external cross... | |
| Latest iPod Configuration -- Any New Hope? UltravioletYour point about headphones is curiously counterintuitive to me.Shouldn't transducers just next to, or even IN, our ears be capable of resolving fine detail and differences? I have never liked them, but dont many audiophiles go on and o... |
