| Beatles vs. Stones 61, You have some kind of citation for that? I'm not buying it. I am a passably good blues harp player and there is no way the same player is heard on the early Beatles "Please Please Me" or "Love Me Do" (John Lennon) and on "Honest I Do" or "Kin... | |
| Full range speakers, 40"-44" max height Seek out a pair of Focal Kanta 2 to hear. They are 44” tall and except for the deepest bass frequencies, very good, especially for orchestral music, opera, etc. | |
| Should I upgrade my speaker cables? Heimdal2 is not a low tier model, it is the low end of the higher tier Norse2 series. As such, it uses the same materials and tech as upper Norse2 models. You don’t say how long they are…it matters. Kijanki spelled it out…he must be a physicist... | |
| Beatles vs. Stones I was in 7th grade when the Beatles played the Sullivan Show, and I watched the Stones bowdlerize their hit “Let’s Spend The Night Together” for Mr. Ed. I don’t think the Stones ever topped the Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There” until “Satisfact... | |
| Is Magnepan still in business ? We are a dealer and they are in business. They always ran a quirky operation but are also having staffing challenges since the pandemic. They are flat out trying to keep up with orders. Some of their long time people have retired, and the founder’... | |
| Did the Old Receivers Sound Good? In my experience with the receivers of the 70s many had good amplifiers, but few had preamplifier performance to match. Integrated amps were no different in this respect. This applies only to transistor gear. I recall fronting a Sansui AU 5500 ... | |
| Upgrade to McIntosh FWIW, MC275 has a very low output impedance for a tube amp, so its bass is plenty tight, so much so that some tube aficionados don’t consider it “tubey” enough! That said, you may want to look into a VTL ST150 and TL2.5i for a comparison if you c... | |
| Mystery! Consider the possibility of an environmental factor such as RFI/EMI. Maybe a ham radio operator nearby, whose transmitter is not always in use? Plus, UK CD players are more likely to do this in general, Rega, Naim, etc. at least in my experience. | |
| What happened to Rotel? While I sympathize with your disappontment in the service you've gotten, an observation I'd like to throw out there to all readers is that smaller companies like Rotel, Anthem, NAD, and others have their limitations where Home Theater is concerned... | |
| HT and 2 channel in same room? 1 or 2 systems? I have 2 completely separate systems in my 15 x15 space. 5.1 on the TV and a 2 channel setup on an adjacent wall. Both have streaming, disc and LP playback. The sectional allows me to sit in the sweet spot for either system. | |
| Really Inexpensive Systems That Sounded Great? For the tool using hobbyist, get Akitika PR102 and GT108. For speakers, PE Morel Ardons. For source, Wiim Pro and if a turntable is needed, a Teac TN3. This would all set you back under $2K. Much less if no phono and no preamp…just plug Wiim i... | |
| Coaxials - Reality vs. Experience? Surprised no one has mentioned the new MoFi 10 that has made a splash on You Tube. Anyone heard them? To me it promises to be a modern Large Advent with sealed box bass and by using coincident tweeter placement, a seamlessly integrated crossover... | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? Believing what you’ve been told…not a solid strategy! | |
| Why so few devices with BNC's?? BNC stands for British Normal Connector…you want BNCs? Buy British, like Naim, Chord, etc. | |
| Interesting situation! Do we need this.... Roy, Can it be that the Fluance has a super simple one cap crossover? Remember EPI 100s? |
