| Best speakers to buy for around $1,500 All I can say is if you like the Cerwins, go for the JBLs I mentioned. They can rock the house but are clearer and more defined. Some dealers are still selling them for $800 a pair. | |
| What's the solid state amp to buy $2500? Congrats Dhcod! | |
| Best speakers to buy for around $1,500 Revel Concerta F12: http://www.revelspeakers.com/productdetail/~/product/f12.htmlJBL L890: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/407272-REG/JBL_L890_H_L890_Studio_L_Series.htmlP.S. That Focal speaker looks good. I would definitely check that one out. | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Regardless, the facts about this guy remain. Which makes him a scumbag. If he talked to me like he did to Atkinson, I would personally knock his old wrinkled ass to the ground. | |
| Crown XLS 1500 On the same token, die hard "boutique" fans don't consider Bryston true high end but consider it pro or semi-pro gear. I don't know anyone besides you Czarivey, that considers Bryston a boutique brand. Yes, they did jack up the prices to a lot of ... | |
| Crown XLS 1500 Just like with anything audio, it varies so much, that to make a blanket statements like that is absurd. You're writing off all of consumer audio? And you mean to tell me there's no duds in pro audio? Gimme a break! Your bias, and may I say ignora... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Awesome, Nonoise! | |
| Crown XLS 1500 Yeah, right. I don't believe you, and that's *my* opinion. | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Aczel is a scumbag. This is not opinion, this is fact. He has been proven to be one whether it's his public behavior by throwing temper tantrums at an AES convention because of the presence of John Atkinson to giving a sterling review of a speaker... | |
| Crown XLS 1500 Fanless Crown K2 can compete with audiophile units priced over $3k.Has this particular statement of yours been proven? Can you prove such a bold claim? I know you're gonna say by any blind testing, but where and when was the testing, where is the ... | |
| Crown XLS 1500 Well, I dunno about high-end gimmicks seeing that this praise is your opinion. Not everyone will agree that the sound is what you hear. Are there high end gimmicks? Yes. But, the really good stuff is not dirt cheap. I'm talking solid engineering b... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? Czarivey, you give Aczel too much credit. The guy is an unsavory character personally and professionally. John Atkinson of Stereophile relayed a horror story regarding meeting Aczel on Facebook not long ago. The guy is a crotchety old asshole. | |
| Best Pass Labs Amp with B&W 800 Diamonds? Mimskev: Passive biamping is no big deal, it's not hard. Active biamping with an external crossover, is a bit tricky. Either way, Pass Labs has you covered as they make active crossover units. | |
| Parasound A21 or Bryston 4BSST2? Both of them are good, solid amps. I'd go with the Bryston just for the simple fact that it's relatively hand made in North America (Canada.) The Parasound is semi mass produced in Taiwan. Also, that Bryston warranty is tough to beat. In addition,... | |
| "The Audio Critic" B.S. or what? What's funny is that Aczel has recently called it quits...ding dong the wicked witch is dead? Not yet, but this is good news, imo.http://www.theaudiocritic.com/ |
