| Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2008 Its on only a short hop for me. I will be there for the 3rd year in a row. The show is great and the people are on the whole very friendly and of course all wanna talk hi-fi!I wish the Friday could be all day, rather than 11-6 (or is it 12?) gets ... | |
| speakers for classical music Do we really need the use of an SPL meter and all this db talk? me being a simpleton I just hit the volume pot (or button on the remote) either up or down as required. When at a gig I have no control of the volume the band play at I just move furt... | |
| speakers for classical music And I always thought '3' was the magic number, but apparently its 85.lol | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? I certainly wouldn't get my knickers in a twist over a mere remote. If it upsets one so much then simply bin it. | |
| Remotes: Who needs 'em? Remote buttons are akin to breasts, buttons that should be fiddled with constantly. | |
| Buying Bookshelves, I love B&W but.... There are lots of speakers, at worst as good, or at best a whole lot better than B&W. Look through the speaker threads and list the speakers that a lot of people like, then go and audition. Hi-fi shows are a good place as there will be virtual... | |

| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? I am not to fond of the Beatles, and even less fond of the Rolling and a stones, so I will pass on that although Ringo's voice was good on 'Thomas the Tank Engine'. | |
| Which Sub. Rel B-1 or Fathom F-113 If Richard was still in the sub game the 'bassmeister' would without question have one in his range to conquer all subs that would be put before it.A really sad day in hi-fi Mr Lord's retirement. The Rel name will mean nothing now. Big sigh. | |
| Change to Horns or stay Dynamic There is a pair of KCS Oris horn's for sale here on Audiogon.I almost bought them, but they are blue and could not convince 'her highness' that they go with an antique red looking sofa!I bet they sound Incredible. For what you are getting for the ... | |
