| Annoying newbie CD/SACD player question Try cleaning the laser lens first. That may fix your skipping problem, if that's all it is. | |
| Finally...subwoofer that's aesthetically pleasing! Aesthetically pleasing? Highly questionable. | |
| Do You Buy Speakers Without Hearing Them? Only once. Boutique brand (Salk) which had no dealers; only sold direct . No regrets. | |
| Using PA Speakers In A Home "Audiophile" Application! Home theater, absolutely. "Audiophile" stereo/surround? Not so much. (Using JBL 212, 215, 225 and 18" sub w/about 3000 watts of power. Hard to beat for home theater. | |
| Speaker Pairing - First Watt F8 +1 Klipsch Heritage | |
| "Hardly Used / Less than 100 Hours / Took out for pics only"???? Only used by a 60 year old granny on Sundays. | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system 1. Find a good audio dealer in your area. 2. Pay attention to what he/she/they tell you. 3. Enjoy your new system. (remember: $100K doesn't go as far now as it did when you were young and had better hearing!) | |
| power cable Be open to the possibility that the new cable may not perform better than your current cables on either component; just because it seemed like "a deal" doesn't mean that it was one for your system. | |
| Prima Luna Vs Accupahse Assume you're talking used Accuphase, since if you can't afford a $10K speaker you can't afford a new Accuphase either. | |
| My High End Audio Gear As A Long Term Investment!!! Investment? Not hardly. | |
| Warm Up Time/Cost of Operation Luxman Class A owner here, 400 watt dissipation when on. Usually allow 30 min warm-up; leave on most of the day on weekends. Keeps the room nice and warm during the winter. | |
| Rel t9x or Rythmik F12G Amazing how someone can state "already overpowering the room" without any evidence. I'm currently using a REL S510, located in my room's primary bass node, which is located right next to my seating position. Completely invisible with my Forte IV... | |
| New Speaker advice At this point, forget the measurements and use your ears. Except for the MoFi, the designs are all fairly similar, and it should come down to preference. | |
| Better hearing Not likely, but perhaps your perception has changed. | |
| speakers for small room Klipsch Forte IV or Cornwall IV. Work great with sub, very dynamic, work well as near-field speakers when necessary for small room. |
