| BOOKSHELF SPEAKER RECOMMENDATION Another manufacturer of speakers you may want to consider would be Ascend. The Sierra LX has great bass extension. The Sierra 2-EX has the Raal tweeter like the BMR Philharmonic in a different box/style if you don't want something as big as the BM... | |
| Anyone hear the Class D Audio Mini GaN 5 amp yet? I've put in an order as well to try these out. Won't get them for a couple of weeks but it's worth the investment to see, I guess. I'm happy with my system but the raves I'm reading about on Audiocircle where Catluck started a 22 page thread on th... | |
| Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people. Don Sachs -- makes equipment, responds and is very instructive. Brent Jessee -- Audiotubes -- has made numerous recommendations to me and never steered me wrong. Roger Gibboni -- owner Rogers High Fidelity Most of the posters that I've done b... | |
| Need your thoughts - LTA 40+ vs Pathos Inpol Integrated amp on 98db speakers. I got the Z40+ integrated to drive Spatial Audio Labs X5s which are also highly efficient speakers. I bought the LTA (used) because LTA often is paired with the Spatial Audio Lab speakers at shows along with some other accessories. The first t... | |
| Maggie LRS so ridiculously good I got the LRS to finally hear get the Maggie experience. I loved it but it was a gateway drug. I wanted to hear a deeper bass and some dynamics so I sold them and bought the Magnepan .7s and I loved them more. I was driving them with some vintage... | |
| Starting from scratch in a large room @deertrail7 When you come to these forums and ask posters what to do, you are going to get all the biases of each poster. I would suggest doing research including, as a poster above suggested, googling good speakers against the wall. Then I w... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. @jeffrey75 There are many more.including the ones you mentioned. I could add Beth Ditto, Dominique Durand (Ivy), Jenny Lewis, Snail Mail, Soccer Mommy, Bat for Lashes, Ani Defranco, Debbie Harry, Ari Up (Slits), Grace Jones, Kim Gordon (Sonic Yo... | |
| Most underrated female recording artists.. I'll venture here. My take on female vocalists is a bit different because it is about the music they write and sing and not necessarily if they are considered great vocal talents. Molly Rankin (Alvvays) The Raincoats Deborah Iyall (Romeo Void) ... | |
| Sad songs- We love them- We need them The one that gets me is Sufjan Stevens "Casimir Pulaski Day" In the morning when you finally go And the nurse runs in with her head hung low And the cardinal hits the window In the morning in the winter shade On the first of March, on the holida... | |
| Magnepan .7 Alternatives I have always liked the planar or ribbon sound. I hadn't tried the Magnepans so a few years ago, I found someone selling the LRS speakers nearby and went for a listen and really liked them. I loved them but also felt a loss in the bass and dynamic... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra @dbt Thanks for the info. Steve Guttenberg had a little summary on speakers at the NYC Audio Show and he mentioned a bunch of the open baffle speakers including the Spatial Audio Labs which were part of a presentation by LTA. Guttenberg di... | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Oh boy. First, a few recommendations already made that I would second: The Go-Betweens "16 Lovers Lane" although I'm not sure how obscure that is. Japan: Tin Drum The Residents: Commercial Album Pere Ubu: The Modern Dance Since I tend to more ... | |
| Where did you buy your first audio gear? When I was in law school, living in a cheap apartment in the early 1980s, there was an electronics store that sold used stuff. I bought an Aiwa tape deck and a cheap reel to reel. I was an aspiring musician playing in a band and writing music. I u... | |
| New Spatial Audio M4 Ultra Discussions about this on Audio Circle. It looks like the tweeter for the M3 is no longer available to the M4 Ultra has a different tweeter and is a smaller speaker in stature (about 1/2 foot). The X series (I also have the X5s) are still availabl... | |
| Disservice: XLR interconnects @rman9, I kid you not. It's actually almost disappointing because it means you have to consider paying a premium for every cable and interconnect. I bought a Hapa Aero USB Cable from a trusted poster over at Audio Circle. I got him down a bit beca... |
