| Thiel Owners duramax747 Thank you, this is very informative. I’ve been searching for speakers for over a year at this point. I narrowed it down to CS 5i and Infinity IRS Beta, and maybe Revel Salon 2. I say "maybe" because on principle I’d rather stay away ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @texbychoice It's OK, Danny! Don't be mad!! 😂😂🤣😂🤣 | |
| What say you: Is this fair, or AITA? I can see both sides. I wouldn’t think you’re a bad person if you refused to pay a single dime. I wouldn’t think it out of line if you agreed to pay a fee based on the actual sales price, or a down-negotiated version thereof. But I would be sho... | |
| Persistent trouble with Keenwood KA-5500 @vetsc5 There is no such thing as "end of life" for these vintage amps. It's all discrete components, most all of which (or substitutes) are still available. Traces don't break on their own, the PCBs are not under stress like in a car component.... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? @devinplombier If you want to pay $800 for an upgrade kit that consists of a few sheets of foam and $40 worth of Mouser components, go right ahead! Completely uniformed claim that just proves you to be a hater. @texbychoice Danny? Is that ... | |
| Persistent trouble with Keenwood KA-5500 @earworm22 You apparently don’t intend to fix your amp yourself, so what you’re trying to accomplish here is unclear. Respectfully, if your tech is too lazy and stupid to diagnose and fix your amp, it seems a little wrong to ask folks to spend t... | |
| How large (or small) is the audiophile market? @gano I looked at that comment I posted and I wasn't comfortable with it, so I deleted it right away. But I guess the forum must have sent an email notification. Sorry about that. | |
| Thiel Owners duramax747 Agreed re sealed speakers. I am curious about your listening impressions of the CS 5i v the CS 7.2? My understanding is that the former is a true sealed enclosure, whereas the latter have passive radiators (correct me if I’m wrong :) ... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @shooter41 Thanks... Looks like I will stick with OLED for the foreseeable future | |
| Flatscreen between speakers @devinplombier. Have you considered that a projector requires a dark room? @spenav You are correct, of course; but I only ever watch tv in a dark room so I didn’t even think about it. I wonder whether there are projectors available today who... | |
| Flatscreen between speakers I have a LG OLED whose picture quality is absolutely gorgeous, but the sight of that huge ugly black rectangle is appalling when it's turned off. I haven't looked at projectors in a few years and I wonder how they compare to OLED panels nowadays.... | |
| Voltage conversion of Accuphase A-300 Apparently half of Japan runs on 50Hz and the other half on 60Hz, I stand to be corrected. One side of Japan bought German generators (50 Hz) back when they first electrified, while the other side bought American generators (60 Hz). As far as ... | |
| How good is the crossover in your loudspeakers? +1 @mswale | |
| Buyer Beware @lordmelton I couldn’t agree more (on a side note, part of my post was perhaps unclear; my intent in pinging you was to say that booze, hookers and blow sure seemed like a pretty good salve to @kennyc ’s dismissive, passive-agressive, classist p... |
