| Help with Stereo Setup God's Peace to you and consolation on your father's passing. Sorry to hear of the family squabbles; hopefully they will calm down. It's a great keepsake to have a sy�stem that one's family member used. It can be terribly nostalgic, and you should ... | |
| Epos speakers - no longevity? This does seem very odd; I wonder about a possibility. If you had the speakers running from the subwoofer, this may have happened... It is possible that you had a power spike/surge which took out the subwoofer and effected the speakers. This would... | |
| Merry Christmas Blessed Christmas to all! Hope you have a joyful time with friends/family! Christmas tunes never sound better than live, but if you can't have live, they're awfully good on a well honed rig! :) | |
| Biggest impact: moving from integrated to separates Integrated amps can be better than separates. Yes, when they are.Separates can be better than integrated amps. Yes, when they are. | |
| I need to buy a complete system. Keep in mind that any speaker you look at will be promoted as performing at a level of speakers 2-3x the price. ;) Of course, whether you like that particular speaker's sound is another matter altogether. | |
| Michael Fremer's system I have found that when building many systems of cost ranging multiples of 2, 3 or even four times the cost that making a cost-effective system sound as good as a much more expensive one is fiendishly difficult. Even making a rig half the cost soun... | |
| Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs Simply taking a product that has been used in the pro world and putting it into one's home does not make a system high fidelity. I would not consider either of those products to merit the label audiophile grade. component. I would not use either o... | |
| Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs bstbomber, kudos, you are open to learning and exploring the domestic hi-fi market and experience. What a ride you will have! It's a completely different ball game than studio, but can be immensely rewarding. | |
| Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs One last thought which you may find helpful; revisiting your power (i.e. something in place of the Yamaha receiver at 45wpc) is a very good option for the ADS, or any�, speaker. I'm not sure how strongly you are tied to the believe that if an amp ... | |
| ROON help needed Not trying to be intentionally mean; apologies if I offended you. Jim Salk helped me set up mine with the Salk StreamPlayer III (reviewed). Though I wasn't paying super-close attention, I recall something about "pointing to", i.e. getting the ROON... | |
| Hi Fi Hi End Verses Pro Audio Specs From the point you are at you have a long way to go before you get into serious home audio. That is not a judgment, simply a statement of fact. It seems your intention to have "pro" mixed with domestic sound ends with a passive monitor. That's not... | |
| ROON help needed How about relaxing and exploring a bit? You're ready to condemn it and have you even done a tutorial or a walkthrough? My guess is you're venting, but you sound curmudgeon-like. :(ROON offers you options based on your preferences/artists. It's n... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or legacy calibre �Familiarize yourself with box colorations before you choose. Imo that is as critical as anything in determining which to select. | |
| Michael Fremer's system Shadorne, your point is valid about the bass hump. The Vapor Audio Joule White (reviewed) has a circuit which addresses that, and it's quite significant in its effect. It's a valuable feature of the speaker which I use depending upon the system. I... | |
| Michael Fremer's system Michael Fremmer is doing one thing with his system/room that goes against convention, and is very smart. He is using a big speaker in a smaller room. He has thought things out and arrived at what I consider the correct conclusion. Most it seems do... |
