| You could work for any manufacturer, past or present... I met Paul Klipsch in 1978 or 1979 and sold a lot of his speakers, though they were not my personal favorites, they were basic, very well made and not a single purchaser wanted to return the speakers after the sale.Paul was an interesting guy. He... | |
| Selling on Audiogon We are preparing our house to list for sale in a few weeks, and I've been posting listings to sell stuff we won't be taking with us to the new home. From what I've seen, lots of used stuff doesn't hold its value, if you price items too high, no o... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? ebm,I couldn't agree more! I've heard the Sopra's driven by some other amplifiers and to my ears, they didn't seem to pair as well as the McIntosh. Once I got equipment with such great "synergy", I've stopped changing out this-that-and-the-other... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? Tim,My wife of 40 years is the same weight she was when I first met her...I've become "more robust" since. | |
| Usless but interesting ....how many of you old timers started with original Large Advents? My first "real" system had a pair of Dynaco A25 bookshelf speakers, driven by a modest Kenwood integrated amp. That combination sounded pretty good...but not as good as my large Advents driven by a McIntosh MC225 with a Dynaco PAT4 preamp.Both sy... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? noble100,I know I'll get killed for saying this, but I am smitten with my Focal Sopra No2 speakers, have heard them driven by a few different amplifiers, but for my hearing, the McIntosh MC452 I own seems to drive them best. That puppy is 110# ou... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? paulburnett,The paints that are available now don't seem to give off fumes. Having said that, if I were you, I'd just keep the door to the audio room closed for a bit, if you are concerned about voc, sounds reasonable to me. | |
| $3000 stand mounted speakers? If you'd be open to purchasing a pre-owned speaker, I'd recommend you look at the Totem Fire monitors. | |
| Your memory of Audio Marketing, esp. B.S. How about that photo of the "blown away man"? https://iconicphotos.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/blown-away-man/ | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? paulburnett,I'm fastidious about my equipment, save all the original cartons. IMO, yes, it was 100% necessary to pack up my equipment. We are selling our house, listing it in April and the real estate agent has told us what we need to do to "sta... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? bob540,...and yes, I have a car from a company headquartered in Munich, with a six cylinder engine, with twin turbos...though I mostly drive it in "eco mode". | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? bob540,Good ideas. In my case, after upgrading this, changing that, for a few years, I have components that have a great "synergy". I love the way my system sounds on all the types of music I enjoy!Yes, I am "60-something". | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? aewarren & asvjerry,We are having a house built in the Biltmore Lake community, one with a "bonus room" above the garage.When we sell our house in Maryland, we'll move in with our daughter, who has lived in Asheville over 10 years now. We've ... | |
| Chemically Altered Audio I found an elixir from Scottland that makes my system sound better... | |
| What Possessed Me to Do This? I'm all "boxed up" with my son and his friend's help. I'll be taking my boxed up system to a local "climate controlled" storage unit, so the room is empty enough for the painters to come in and do their magic.I'm confident that we'll have the hou... |
