| Best Holographic Speakers ~$7k per pair If you get the Klipsch you won't have to be worried about tariffs. | |
| What is a "reference" system? It's the one the other guy has that you can't afford. | |
| Picking speakers 3000-5000 budget +1 on Klipsch, but would suggest Forte IV's if Cornwalls are too big for your space. Roughly the same footprint as your Polk 10's. | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area That's the great thing about extolling the virtues of home-built; nobody else has a means for comparison to confirm or refute the claims. | |
| Anyone else constantly curious about amps? "I can't afford it"?? That should be your answer right there. Why get the forum involved? | |
| How to choose speakers that won't overpower your room? All about placement and setup. I use Klipsch Forte IV's with a REL S/510 in a room that's 12x10 with 9-12 foot ceiling, arranged asymmetrically. Probably not a typical choice for a room that size, but works out better than my Salk monitors (with... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Springsteen. "You ain't the boss of me!" | |
| Gain level on a REL sub +1 it's not the sub, it's the placement. I've got at least one "suckout" location in my room that completely cancels the bass; sounds like you've already found yours. Get one sub properly set up before you consider a second. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening Or you could just pull it out, drop the needle and enjoy! (Long time vinyl lover/collector, and I keep things clean to start with, so not inspired to be anal about any "ritual".) | |
| Buy or stay with? Well, CV went out with my high school years (more than 50 ago); silk purse out of a sow's ear, if you think you're going to fix their shortcomings. | |
| Source of Fremer's "1 arc second" claim? There is a lot of unsubstantiated hyperbole (read: bs) in reviews. If you've been in the hobby any length of time, you already know this. | |
| Do sound characteristics matter when moving from midfi to hifi? If they don't matter, then why bother? | |
| Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms? Used to when I lived in Southern Illinois; in Southern California, what's a thunderstorm? | |
| Is Full-size speakers for L-R Rears advisable? A lot of folks don't realize how much bass info is available from the rear channels, at least on a well-engineered surround soundtrack. I've got a horn-loaded JBL stage monitor with two 15" woofers (combined L+R rear channels via mixer), and get ... | |
| What are your top 3 favorite turntable companies (manufacturer) and why? Stuff I've owned: ELAC Miracord (630, a great entry TT for me when I was a semi-starving HS student) Rega (Planar 2 then 3, nice step up if somewhat minimalist design; great to pass on to your kids when you upgrade) Garrard (401, rock solid and... |
