| Opinions on Monster Retro Sigma speaker cables there's a review on the stereophile web site of these cableshttp://www.stereophile.com/accessoryreviews/204monster/index.html | |
| The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now I'll second the Bogle Petite Sirah (long time favorite of mine) as well as the Cline Ancient Vines Mourvedre. I've found a couple decent inexpensive Pinot Noirs - Gloria Ferrer (I've found on sale at my local grocery store for $16 plus the 10% six... | |
| Floorstanders: 1k used-Psb,Audes,etc.... I can vouch for the PSBs and the Vandersteens. I owned a pair of PSBs for 10+ years and they rocked well. Have also heard several Vandersteen 2ce systems that were very musical. The PSBs are more neutral than the Vandersteen 2ce, but again, the Va... | |
| What are your opions on monster power amp. Here's a thread on another site asking about this as well. Scroll down almost halfway to a quote from esappy where he quotes from review from Widescreen Review last year.http://hometheaterhifi.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-1429.html | |
| Electrostatic-vs-Planar strength, weakness I concur with what most are saying here. I had a complete Martin Logan surround setup with Prodigys up front. The detail/resolution and holographic presentation of vocals were jaw dropping. Sweet spot was small. Hybrid bass was fine by me, althoug... | |
| Best way to go HT with focus on 2 channel I grafted on an HT setup to my 2-channel rig as well, pretty much the same way others have mentioned here. I have my pure 2-channel setup with my sources (arcam FMJ CD23 and a VPI HW-19Jr turntable) going directly into my preamp (audible illusions... | |
| Nightmare A few options. First, since Martin Logans have such a narrow horizonotal dispersion, you can probably get pretty close to side walls if you are toeing in. Maybe not right up against it, but maybe a foot off. With a 16' room length, you can keep th... | |
| What sub do "U" use ? I just picked up an Energy eXL 8 for $50 this weekend. Won't win any pissing contests with this, but I just threw together an HT and it only sees HT duties. Sad part of this subwoofer is that it has a smaller driver (8") than the woofers in my fro... | |
| newbie question- omega/meadowlark/traingle/reynaud My wife has Reynauds in her system which are very musical. When she auditioned speakers, I liked the sound of the Triangle, but I go for detail and soundstaging which I thought they did better than the Reynauds. All depends on what you like... | |
| My Belles 150 is buzzing when I turn it on.. I have an OCM 500, the older sister to the Belles 150. It used to buzz a bit when I had it plugged into a different outlet. I also noticed the buzz would change as certain other things in the room would power on or off (e.g. a vacuum cleaner). I e... | |
| HELP - buzzing on Magnepan 3.6R; repair or not? when I typed Martin Logan, I meant Magnepan (also have a pair of Martin Logan Odysseys).For an amp, I am currently using an OCM 500 (225W+ at 8ohm and near double at 4ohm) so I do not believe the amp is clipping.I get the buzzing on one speaker bu... | |
| Why are these speakers so bright but others not? John, thanks for the helpful info. I picked up some Xterminators at work and biwired using the Sigma Retro Gold. I TAKE BACK WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE BRIGHTNESS! Even without playing around with placement, they sound good. I think it was due to my no... | |

| Why are these speakers so bright but others not? Rob: Which Auralex product did you buy for treatment in which areas? What was the price? I know I need to do something. I only have these blackout blinds on one window (fortunately, the one where first reflection point would be) and I can tell a d... | |
| Why are these speakers so bright but others not? I did play with speaker and seating placement somewhat, but I was just surprised how not good I found the Revel and 3.6R's in my room. Not that they aren't excellent speakers - the clarity and lack of distortian in Revel's midrange came through un... |
