| Sale on Marantz PM Ki Ruby Integrated! Selling the partner CD/SACD player for same price. One customer review says it betters the sound of the Oppo 205 (my reference). Lacks balanced outputs and no HDMI out (show stoppers). Otherwise, looks like a fine player. | |
| Album Reviews This was done a couple of years ago and is in the archive. Just look. | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? Yes, that setup should do it. If your bass sounds balanced and natural, you're done. If it sounds slow and overloaded, try moving the stand-alone subs to different parts of the room until it sounds right. You can excite room "modes" if a sub is in... | |
| What is the best time of year to sell used gear? I always thought around Super Bowl. People getting tax refunds and have lots of spare time during Winter months. | |
| Recommendations Wanted Start with Klipsch Forte 4. | |
| How much of High End Audio is Horn Speakers? My recently purchased Forte 4s sound wonderful with my 12 yo Onkyo HT receiver. I bought them to use with low-powered SS and tube amps (which tend to be more affordable than hi-powered amps). Dying to drop them in my BAT/B&W reference system b... | |

| 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... | |
