| Are Bowers and Wilkins speakers overpriced? The B&W 804D3 I purchased in 2018 for $10,000 would cost $3,281.47 in 1980. Another way to estimate: Build the same speaker from scratch with same measurements, same drivers and materials, same finish, etc. Then add up your cost. | |
| How good is Pass INT25? May have good customer service but a little short on foresight. How hard is it to put an extra set of RCA outs (subs) and another set of speaker posts (for bi-wiring)? This is an industry-wide problem -not picking on Pass. | |
| Best USA city to audition a system. Chicago has many dealers but you will do a lot of driving. | |
| Here's Why Movie Dialogue Has Gotten More Difficult To Understand A lot of actors whisper their dialog instead of speaking it (trying not to appear too "manly"? I don’t know). Gets on my nerves... | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- New one by John Rich and Mike Rowe: "Santa's Got a Dirty Job". On most music platforms, all proceeds go to charity... Merry Christmas! | |
| Higher powered but efficient amp with the imaging of a Pass XA-25? Too esoteric to be available for "trial", but a mono pair of BAT VK-255SE would probably float yer boat. | |
| Where the heck are all these manufacturers coming from! I recently heard there are 17 million millionaires in the U.S. alone. Plenty of people have money (just not everyone). I think a lot of these "new manufacturers" are from other countries that haven't been distributed in the U.S. before. It's funn... | |
| Your Favorite Christmas Song-One only Please- Same as last year... Also love: o come emmanuel The Little Drummer Boy | |
| NAD M33 cutting first second of song while streaming Great news! | |
| Damaged Driver Use the "Tulip" method. Just don't have a peanut butter sandwich first. | |
| Preamp recommendations for my system please For $10k, it’s the new BAT VK-80. Basically, the VK-33SE (which I own) in an updated case. Quite as a tomb, smooth and ultra resolving. Not sure if the user interface is the same (the VK-33SE is extremely versatile). Upscale Audio has a 60 day tri... | |
| Interesting observations It's all physics. 1. Construction materials. I like OCC copper/silver. Purest metals available for signal transmission. 2. Care in construction. There is allways a right way and a wrong way to put something together. 3. Dielectric material. What i... | |
| Interesting observations Congrats on your revelation! | |
| Just a thought on first impressions, items for sale....and your thoughts. When it comes to surface dust, a swiffer will do wonders. For aged-on greasy stuff, it's better to let sleeping dogs lie. "a little windex" might very well remove silk-screened lettering on age old faceplates. Been there done that. | |
| The best acoustic guitar recordings?? Mississippi Fred McDowell "I Do Not Play No Rock&Roll".Also, his requiem album. No title, just Birth and Death dates. |
