| Do you leave your SS amp on all the time? I used to, but the designer of my Carver A760x amp told me that it was dumb. I got immediately smarter. Maybe you should ask your amp's design team and see what they say instead.Charlie | |
| To Z or Not To Z - Systems Finally something to talk about that makes sense! I use the rdp-1 with absolute enthusiasm. I agree that it is totally transparent. It allows one to tweak weak recordings and also to correct for room funk, (which everyone has.) Also, if one is so ... | |
| Speakers Hello.Speakers are #1. I enjoy the combo of Harbeth Compact 7ES-II and an M&K MX700 subwoofer. If you have "pre out" capability, you can get this for less than your stated budget. This combo allows you to place the sub for best room bass loadi... | |
| Your Favorite Austin City Limits Junior Brown was playing that "guit-steel" with amazing speed one evening. But, the Townes Van Zant tribute was special, no doubt. | |
| Hi end audio who cares Professor Campbell is all over this one. I could not believe the amount of empty seats at my last concert, which was primarily Mozart, (with a full chorus to boot,) and yet Ms. Spears sell out in the same city. Popular culture stinks. | |
| How good are the Harbeth 40's? Hello Emster,Mr. Campbell is too kind. It is easy, especially on Agon, to confuse enthusiasm with expertise! But, sir, I do know where you can find answers from users who enjoy the M40 in a variety of circumstances.Please go to the Harbeth Smartgr... | |
| Why is Double Blind Testing Controversial? Sad, isn't it? | |
| Quad makes Electrostats, why now box speakers?? It is no longer run by Mr. Walker. They are parented by an asian company with a different philosophy. A shame.Charlie | |
| cornfedboy, signing off Damn, Arnie keeps asking me about his monkey. I guess that makes me the staff veterinarian. I have to sign off too.Good luck to you, Kelly.Charlie | |
| Why has Audiogon suspended "Wanted" ads? It seems fair to me to charge for the service. How about the same cost as a regular ad, but let it run for 60 days? This would eliminate some of the riff raff stuff. What say you, Audiogon?Charlie | |
| Name 3 classic mini-monitors worth keeping- Why? 1. PSB Alpha A/V, where else can you get that much sound for so little money?2. Rogers LS3/5A (or equivalent), lots of high quality fans for 30 years.3. Harbeth Compact 7ES-II, not really a mini-monitor, but so good, I don't see mine ever leaving ... | |

| What's more important speakers or amplification? Speakers, speakers, speakers. Unless your amplification and source are really bad, the speakers are the key. All the rest is audiophile B.S. Be a lemming, or use your brain, the choice is yours. Charlie | |
| Anyone famimiar with Reynaud Arpeggione I had a pair for about 2 months in a small room where I was listening in nearfield. (Using an Audio Refinement Complete integrated and a Bel Canto DAC1.) They did not do well for me, at all. Maybe they will work better for you at 9 feet, but I can... | |
| Full range sound for little room Monitors, in nearfield, and a subwoofer. |
