| What speakers sound as good as Sonus Faber Reference 3A- i heared them a/b's against SF Extremas a long time ago. not as good as the SF but very good speakers with a similar tonal balance. also a lot less money of course. | |
| What is the best....? "Finding your Bliss" | |
| Another side of the "high end" from Wilson Audio I have never had the priviledge of owning a wilson product, but if i did i would certainly feel really good about having arguably "the best of the best" systems that is attainable by reasonable means. that is to say you can go hear their products ... | |
| Ravi Shankar passes. Indian classical music is great stuff, and Ravi Shankar opened the door (for me anyway) not only to other sitar musicians (Vlayt Khan is very good also) but also to Iranian, Chinese, and other international music. A lot of it reminds me of meditat... | |
| David Wilson must be a little annoyed... Perhaps as an adjunct to reviews about almost-perfect speakers, amps, etc.would be a blue-print of a room to set up this equipment in, with a full set of specifications on materials needed, including wiring, and all other household appliances take... | |
| Best bedside system, unit? I WISH i knew more about the Squeezbox unit, so i can't compare the sound quality to what I own- the Tivoli #3 radio, companion speaker (for stereo), CDP, and Subwoofer. all these pieces can probably fit on two opposing night stands with your ears... | |
| Why no as many post about music vs equipment...... Music can be viewed as a "Component", since the quality of the recording and the awareness level of the people involved with making it can be VERY important.Neil Young has weighed in on Analog VS Digital sound in the past. go to Mapleshade and the... | |
| Dave Brubeck...we lost a legend today Dear Rok2id, you're probably a good person and a gentleman also, but hardly in the mainstream of jazz critics. D.Brubeck made a significant contribution to the musical arts and was a master of polyrhythms, who could play one with the left hand and... | |
| Are Monoblocks better than Multi-channeled amps?? most companies would put their best parts and design efforts into a monoblock pair than their stereo amplifier (which typically costs less of course). so for that reason alone the monoblocks are going to outperform the stereo amp most of the time.... | |
| Fremer lays an Ostrich egg... This isn't about opinions. this is about arithmatic. if A=B and B=C, then A=C.i can't make my point any clearer than this. | |
| Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers? someone (not me) is auctioning off a pair of Genelec monitors on audiogon right now. that is an enormous space you're referring to by anyone's standards.depending on your musical tastes and your interest in acoustic treatments wouldperhaps be the ... | |
| Do you ever just listen to music For the most part selecting what i want to hear is perhaps the most difficult thing since i am trying to figure out what would fit my mood at the time. i don't like to jump up and say "no, not this, it's great but i need something more "XYZ-ish" r... | |
| Wanna feel old? B.B. King with all of his physical problems can still play guitar pretty well.So Hendrix, providing he could have survived to live to 70, could still be a great musician as well as who knows how many other projects he might have gotten involved in... | |
| Anyone still playing on Cassette decks? i am Just too lazy to transfer the music from all my cassettes onto digital medium, and i can operate a cassette deck in my sleep, so yes, i still have a cassette deck hooked up to my preamp along with a reel to reel- Tascam 122mk3 and a Teac X-20... | |
| Rowland Model 5, upgrade to Model 8/8ti you could look at model 6's or M-10's, or M-12's, etc. the M-8 usually sells for $7500 or more if it's in really good condition. as nice as it is you could be overlooking some outstanding amps by Rowland that do come up for sale.an M-10 makes 150W... |
