| Whats playing on your system today? Katie Melua-Piece By Piece(CD) One of the standout recordings of the 2000's. A rare Thursday night(1980's) vinyl night follows. | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? @grannyring Yes, exceptions always exist. The Seawave Acoustic AM 23($20K) might exceed the Totem Element Metal V2($18.5k) but I have not heard a better allrounder for < $20k regardless of speaker size or type. In general the consumer is get... | |
| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? FWIW I would never consider even a small HEA speaker a "bookshelf" speaker. A stand mount speaker is often more advantageous to the manufacturer than consumer. Why? Shipping/manufacturing costs/stands and even pushing subwoofer(s) are all addition... | |
| Babylon sisters IMO a Top 5 Steely Dan song. | |

| Whats playing on your system today? Saraya-ST(CD) Another great 1989 release. Easily a Top 5 Pop/Rock recording from 89. FWIW fronted(vocals) by Sandi Saraya with a mix of Pat Benatar/Kim Carnes vocals and a world-class guitar player Tony Rey that is not an EVH clone. | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... Totem-Element Metal V2. | |

| Whats playing on your system today? Maura O'Connell-Just In Time(CD) Another great example of how strong 1989 was for recordings. Virtually unknown with the mainstream, this is easily a Top 100 recording of any genre released in 1989. | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? @mapman My point is room acoustic treatment is a given(must have) regardless of the cost/level of the audio system. One can be a serious Audiophile with Burmester or Parasound gear, the point is getting as close to 100% out of the system. | |
| Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it? Any serious audiophile understands the basics of room acoustics, has nothing to do with the level/cost of gear one purchases. Another outdated misnomer is HEA is just bling. Dan D’agostino is not the only HEA company, take a look at Convergent Aud... | |
| High quality recordings any genre @ghdprentice +1 @mapman -1 IMO the goal of this hobby(lifestyle) is to enjoy music at the highest sonic level possible. The problem is we are all prisoners with recording quality issues. Many Classical, acoustic Jazz, Jazz vocal and Jazz fusio... | |
| Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money? Spend the majority of money on the turntable. The Technics SL-1200G is a no brainer for a true entry level HI/End deck. At $4500 for 1200G this leaves $1500 leftover. Allocate the least possible amount for a solid cartridge(Ortofon 2M Blue) then a... | |
| Quad Revela 1 & 2 @sergeee Since you have owned other Quad loudspeakers you probably have a good idea of the Quad box speaker house sound. It has been a long time since I have heard a Quad speaker with drivers. My Revela impression from Youtube is they have a ver... |
