Warm and accurate bookshelves that can handle volume I own the Harbeth 30.2's and I can get them quite loud without any break up, provided the amp can output clean wattage. No fatigue at all, warm does not necessarily mean colored. I find B&W's a bit bright (only my opinion), but they are clean ... | |
Practice Amp for use with Headphones advice I would choose the Fender for pedals, but if you are only concerned about how it sounds with headphones, then @jasonbourne52 is right, you really won't hear a difference. By the way, I use Grado headphones with my amp, sounds great. I've tried ot... | |
Over or under? - Standmount isolation I have my Harbeth 30.2's (Larger, but similar to your Rodgers) on 28 inch stands on hardwood floors. I have springs between the speakers and the stands. I have a sub on the same floor and put springs under it also. It made a nice difference, a bit... | |
But is it HiFi? (Crown) Although I’m not familiar with that model, I sold Crown and most models sounded great for stereo systems, you got a great deal and yes, you can basically get what you paid for them even years from now. | |
Dan D'Agostino Black or Silver? I usually agree with Fuzztone, but all my equipment is silver. Black was popular a few years back. It’ll probably come back in style - much like Fuzztone 😁 seriously, I don’t think color has much to do with resale, so whatever you like is what yo... | |
Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me Audio stores complain about not having customers, yet I've run into the biggest jerks and posers, you know the type, they treat you like you're stupid, and they know everything, or they immediately assume your just shopping and treat you like dirt... | |
Improvement over 2002 Denon AVR-3802 for 2 Channel Music System Wow, you sound like me about 3 years ago. I had a highly rated Denon AVR which I switched from using as surround-sound, which sounded fine, to use as a two channel. It was awful. I had several very good two channel systems in the past, and the Den... | |
Tia Blake And Her Folk Group - Reissue Thanks for the info on Tia. Listening to her now. | |
Subwoofer boom is too much for me... +1 @baylinor I switched from ported (for literally 25 years) to sealed and am much happier with the sound. | |
Those singers you enjoy,....that don't really have a great voice? +1 @bigtwin I wish however that I could sing even half as bad as any of the people mentioned.... | |
Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... There is also the one that goes: "In my experience with brand X, it is a very good amp/speaker/cartridge, but might be a better match with Y then Z." "What? You're an idiot! You're dumb, stupid and ignorant. X sounds great with everything! X is... | |
Need some advice on replacing a B&W tweeter Future sounds is one of the few great audio stores around San Francisco. Not pushy, friendly and helpful. | |
Want to add vinyl to my system. If you don’t own any records yet, I’d say the Rega 6-8 are great to start with, you may or may not find you want to get into records, and this level would be a good place to start, or end, without too much invested. If you have a large collection... | |
Cable advice I also have at least 4 different brands and different quality, although all at least mid-level (at least in my opinion they are mid-level!) The only time I’ve heard they should be the same is from a dealer wanting me to spend thousands to upgrade ... | |
Did you ever buy too much bass? I really wanted a sub that went down to 20hrz, but was told by my audio guy my room was too small, others on this site agreed. I went with a JL audio 110 with DSP and it sounds as if all the bass is coming from my speakers, it’s like I don’t even ... |
