| monitor speaker for near-wall placement? Doug, in my present listening environment, I have to positions my speakers right up against the wall, (my office is that small.) I have had good luck with 3 different PSB speakers, (A/V, 300i, and 400.) I now use some PE Leon Primas that are amazi... | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups Tkmetz, I spent New Year's Eve 1979-1980 with the Dixie Dregs and Sea Level in the Fox Theatre in Atlanta. The Fox had a free champagne fountain. Quite a show from another Capricorn great artist! Charlie. | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! I think my comments may have come across in a way in which they were not meant. I will not bore you with my pedigree as an activist for social and racial justice. I was stating my disappointment with the tone and emphasis on especially inflammator... | |
| Ken Burns' JAZZ starts Monday on PBS! I agree, Tedmitz. What a shame. A music that can unite us seems to be used as a vehicle for a soapbox lecture that, IMHO, fuels the fires that divide us. Charlie | |
| 1955-2001 Favorite Top Ten Rock Groups Steve Miller Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Allman Brothers, ZZ Top (1st 6 albums only,) Yes, Who, Moody Blues, Pink Floyd, Atlanta Rhythym Section, Stones, Doobies, Dire Straights. (Not in any particular order, and I realize my math is poor.) Charlie Will... | |
| Best Music Review Resource Thanks for all your thoughts and recommendations. I have too many cd's where the sonics are so poor as to make them unenjoyable. I wonder why some were ever allowed to be pressed? Especially when I am pretty sure that, like most things, it is not ... | |
| Old Timers Advice Required Yes, Dekay, that is OLD. [:)] | |
| Opinion on Buena Vista social club CD? I love this Cooder cd as well. On the advice of another member, Issabre, on another post, I purchased Juan-Carlos Formell's "Songs From a Little Blue House." Good advice! It is very, very good. It is available from Columbia House, as well, and can... | |
| Best Music Review Resource So far, the absolute best advice I have gleaned has been on this site. I thank you all. Charlie. | |
| Horrific Confession and Question Constantine, I should mention again that the PSB Alpha A/V's sound very good with the volume up to where you would have it for a party. The PSB Mites are supposed to be very good for their size, as well. I think all the little PSB's are 6 ohm. Or ... | |
| Horrific Confession and Question Bose delivers what the typical mass-market music listener desires, and that is mids, mid-bass, and more mids. They give the fans of popular music room filling mids and the chance to appreciate all the meaningful lyrics found on the pop charts [:(]... | |
| If you could remaster three cd's... Mnmrmstd, you have excellent taste in music, my friend! [:)] The "Laid Back" cd is not the worst of engineering efforts, I would just like to see it in it's very best form as it is one of my all time favorites, as well. Anyone who is an Allman Bro... | |
| If you could remaster three cd's... 1. Greg Allman, "Laid Back" 2. Jimmy Buffet, "Living and Dying in 3/4 Time" 3. Wet Willie, "Best Of" | |
| Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio) Golf. Serious addict. I mean Zen, mind-over-body, Shivas Irons Golf. 3 hour rounds, 6.9 handicap. Lucky enough to have one of the best teachers, (Jack Lumpkin- who is Davis Love III's swing doctor,) and an inexpensive Donald Ross designed home cou... | |
| The best CD Player for the money A few of us here really like our transport/outboard dacs. I really enjoy my DAC1 using a DVD player as a transport. The last Stereofool had high regard for the latest and fully upgraded MSB dac over the DAC1. I bet you would like either one. Check... |
