| Top 3 Most Overrated Artists contest in R&R. Loomisjohnson-You nailed the qualifying explanation regarding critical acclaim but sales are just as important. I would include...1.Robert Zimmerman, just too many poor recordings with rambling/silly lyrics. 2.Red Hot Chili Peppers not because the... | |
| Once again, impressed by NAD I heard the NAD-375bee on several ocassions and IMO was a better overall sounding amp then the MAC-MA6300. If I was creating a budget system and wanted new gear this would be my amp! | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Isanchez-If your so curious about Emotiva buy the amp! My opinion regarding Emotiva was made a long time ago. If circumstantial evidence is enough to send a man to prison, it's enough to avoid wasting time on a poorly made and designed amplifier! | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Labtec-You get an A for effort defending Emotiva. No I have not demoed an Emotiva(stated in previous post) but many reliable sources(not reviewers) claim-grain/harshness in the treble, a bloated mid bass and congestion when pushed hard. I read the... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Labtec-You give ridiculous examples of amps that would never sell for around $1k you could have added Gryphon, Soulution or DartZeel to the list to get a bigger laugh! If Emotiva is that great you don't need to exaggerate. I don't want to list all... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Mitch4t-Yes there is a place for Emotiva, just not on my audio rack. Not all Emotiva "fanboys" are college aged or financially challenged. Many Emotiva buyers have a tendency to believe everything is snake oil after a certain price point without h... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge Labtec-Why are you so defensive regarding your Emotiva gear? First of all you exaggerate when trying to make a point, were not talking about $50k new amps. There are many used under $2k power amps that would be a better choice then Emotiva for any... | |
| The Emotiva Challenge In the 80's Adcom was the go to budget amp. AHC praised these amps to a sickening level, I hope Mr. Cordesman was well compensated for selling his soul! I fell for the trap(was only 19) and purchased a GFA-545 and realized that my Toshiba receiver... | |
| Need help on speaker decisions It appears you like a speaker capable of a high level of resolution with an extended treble. Consider a used Thiel CS 2.4 which also has usable bass below 40hz, no sub needed here. Another option is the Martin Logan Electromotion which would give ... | |
| TAD R-1's vs Yamaha Soavo NS-F901's .... Youtube can give you a small dose of the speakers overall character. Buying a speaker based on a review IMO is just as irresponsible. The only way to be 99% sure is to have the speaker in your own listening room which is easier said then done! My ... | |
| What time do you wear? Schubert-Your correct! A Grand Seiko Spring Drive rivals many very expensive Swiss made watches. | |
| Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S? The ADS-L1290/2 was always the speaker to replace my Magnepan-SMGa but being a young adult I was never in the financial position to upgrade. It wasn't until I heard the Mirage M5si that an affordable speaker was competitive with the ADS. | |
| In Santana we trust Agreed-Swing of Delight is not only his best solo performance it also has the best sound quality(3M/32 track digital recorder). | |
| In Santana we trust I agree that Caravanserai, Lotus and Abraxas are the Santana bands best recordings. Although not as musically intense several Santana recordings are severely overlooked...Marathon, Freedom, Spirits Dancing in the Flesh and Milagro. If your unfamil... | |
| Sell quality turntable to buy top CD player? Ayre components are designed to sound best balanced? |
