| If Money Were No Object... A Fantasy Question Have to laugh at the premise; most "filthy sinking rich" people do not get filthy stinking rich by wasting prodigious amounts of money on depreciating items like stereos. If money were no object, I likely would spend not much more than I do now on... | |
| Planar speaker question Audiorichard, it's easy to be slain with infatuation for planars when you're first introduced to them since they are so novel and intriguing sounding. Sort of like a date with an exotic person (no, I did NOT say exotic dancer, so no jokes, please.... | |
| benefits of adding a power amp to a budget system? You may want to reconsider purchasing an amp. It seems to be to be a better selection to pursue speakers you adore. Hear them in a setting with fantastic pre/amp, or even better yet, an fine quality tube hybrid integrated amp. Why? Because you may... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective "Reference" as in "reference system" I happen to use my system as my reference for what sounds good. That makes your reference wrong. ;) This is why I write uncannily accurate reviews like the one I just posted on the world-class cheapo speaker, t... | |
| "Best" audio rack for under $500.00? Superb quality in my black Plateau racks purchased from Outlaw Audio. Check them out in my pics of my HT. I believe they were around $300some including shipping. Doesn't appear that Outlaw sells them anymore, but I'm sure someone does. They also h... | |
| Thoughts on Outlaw amp's for 2 ch music Mihen, looks like your into the fun phaze of things. Enjoy!To be honest, you may have just as good results and easier time calibrating everything by finding a decent configurable six channel amp (I'm using a Rotel w. 3-6 channels). Previously, I h... | |
| Last night at Chapman Audio Systems Crap! Lost a page of writing due to a brown out! Ok, cut to the chase...Them Chapmans? Exquisite. The Pathos Classic One MkII amps bridged are treasures, too...Together? Well, I'm not gonna spend more time talking to you guys. I'm going to have a ... | |
| Pathos Classic One Mark 4 coming out???? Your source is, shall we say, "Full of it." Gianni at Pathos says they are not working on a IV and there will likely not be one. My guess is the supplier has misinterpreted the transition from the Classic One MkII to the MkIII, in which, I believe... | |
| Pathos Classic One Mark 4 coming out???? I am checking with Gianni Borinato, the designer. | |
| magnepan 1.6 needs help in the bass Mrtennis, the Vandy crossover will eliminate signals below 80hz going to the mains (1.6's), which will help them. Anything below the 80hz mark is handled by the Vandies. So, it's a non-issue where the low end of the 1.6's are. The problem would co... | |
| magnepan 1.6 needs help in the bass Mrtennis, haven't I told you that you're chasing a chimera? Repent and get thee a fine floorstanding dynamic speaker. But, if you are intent on your quest, some fine stereo subs would be REL or Vandersteen. For predominantly two channel listening ... | |
| contradictory communication My system is "translucent", which under certain conditions is far more appealing, like a beautiful stained glass window! I find translucent glass much more interesting than transparent glass (that is, IF you are interested in the GLASS, per se, as... | |
| contradictory communication Mrtennis, keep talking...you're getting warmer... ;) | |
| Intergrated Amp with VR4jrs Pity if you will not consider tube hybrid integrateds. For a long time I gave tube power no consideration. But now, I have found it to be the Holy Grail of power in my system; and incredibly splendid combination of warmth, detail and power. One of... |
