| Beware of NAD M3 Fire Hazard My old tech friends refer to the dead NAD as a boat anchor. We use to play golf with am/fm Delcoes in the late 70's, you will need a good sludge hammer. Very sad to hear of your plight, glad you were home. I always consider NAD as a really good... | |
| Subwoofer insight. With that large of room, Audio Kinesis Swarm is worth checking out. Mcarbon used the same Audio Kinesis Dayton amp and built his own swarm from 4 unassembled box speakers from Dayton. I used car audio sealed sub boxes and Kicker drivers. Now tr... | |
| Class D is just Dandy! Erik, three years later, and still going strong, excellent thread. Class D is the bomb, and your thread would seem to amplify that message. I purchased a D.A.C. older amp for my first try at Class D, A/Bs left something wanting. My Signature Te... | |
| So many drivers.....better sound or just more sound? SM2727 stay well, take care of yourself. +1richopp. Levity, "An long tall speakers, with music up to yar". Apologies to Leo Sayer. Buy the speakers your ears like, preferable after listening with your equipment and listening room. Bryston has... | |
| Maybe being discerning isn't that good for us? Erik, the Turtles first lp was recorded with all voices to the left and all the instruments in the right channel. It could be just the opposite as I haven't seen that lp in over 50 years. This was great for aspiring musicians. When they played ... | |
| Questions about using audiogon to sell 1st time -Ebay protects their buyers like a mother bear with cubs in tow. I have never taken a dispute to Pay Pal, but all my payments are done through them. | |
| Artist you now like that you discovered through your streaming service Radio Paradise is my all day daily driver. Heard so much good music unbelievable. I have purchased nearly 20 CDs since listening to RP. Tooblue, Radio Paradise is a great place to start, it is free, on your computer or smart phone. I like RP becau... | |
| Bose 901 Ahhhhhh, the no highs no lows, Bose. Always thought they would make the worlds best midrange speaker, add a Heil tweeter and subwoofer to complete the system. However, in 1978 or so a friend and I went to an old fashioned audio salon in Tempe AZ... | |
| High Sensitivity Speakers Magnepan LRS. Factory shipping, do not like, you can send back for full refund. With four RELs you do not need a speaker with big bass. The worst case scenario, you have to pay shipping for the return. It would seem very few of the LRS are sen... | |
| Lets talk dedicated lines Back about 20 years or so, put in two twenty amp breakers and 2 dedicated lines from breaker to stereo location. A few years later, split one off to a koi pond and greenhouse. Two years ago went solar and new panel, dropped the breakers from twe... | |
| Speaker sensitivity, impedance, and calculating amp power Al, Erik, Miller C, Tomic601 and others, thank you for the discussion/knowledge above. Tried both calculators, they are within a db or so. The above shared knowledge is priceless, much better than a school. Thank you folks for helping me in und... | |
| In-ceiling: Am I wasting my money? Ceiling speakers are good for dolby Atmos and rear surrounds. Have you considered the larger Magnepan On Wall speakers. Two versions motorized and manual. Fold flat to the wall when not in use. Multiple color options for the covers. I use a s... | |
| Amplifiers weight Do you like your current amp the JC1? Are you keeping it? If yes, buy the Anthem. If not, then why change horses? Ie, buy the Parasound JC5. I have the Parasound C2 pre and love it. I'm now using a DAC Maraschino 60 volt amp, beats my 50 to ... | |

| Your first system and your journey... 1964 Sears suit case with drop down turntable and 1 detachable speaker, came one xmas eve. Put a record on for sleepy time. Turned the volume all the way down and that ceramic stylus was loud enough. 1968, Navy gave me a chance to visit building... |
