| WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value Porschecab - Have you personally had a bad experience with wilson speakers or their service and quality? Or do you feel such strong hate towards Wilson because of what you've heard other people say? | |
| Preamp Deal of the Century Simon,I'm also running a Denon 103R at 0.25mv on my Syrah, and I have more gain than I would ever use, and the hum and tube rush are both non-noticable when music is playing.It sounds like something fishy... | |
| Dynaudio 72SE vs. S3.4 The Contour has much better quality / better looking cabinetry. | |
| Low-end Question DON't DO IT!!!Put together a simple, 2 channel audio system. Don't use your TV's speakers!For around $300 you can buy a pair of GREAT sounding speakers, look into Ascend and Axiom. These will sound 1000% better than what your TV is capable of. | |
| listening to music in the car Sbrtoy - You say that you have listened to hundreds of car systems - Are these stock and factory "upgrade" systems? Or are these real, custom audio installations?No matter what the stock system (Lexus ML, VW Dynaudio, ...) or factory upgrade is, i... | |
| Von Scheikert VR4jr in a small room . Ethifi - that 10 foot wall is really going to be a limiting factor in that room.Even if it was a 50 x 10 ft room, you'd still have the 10' wall messing things up.You will either have the speakers too close together on the 10 foot wall, or if you t... | |
| New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker? For an average sound room, you don't want any dimension smaller than 15' or so, with the other dimension being at least a couple feet longer. You want to avoid square rooms.So 15' x 18' would be pretty good for a small pair of speakers, 25' x 19' ... | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 You say - "By the way, if you read the Stereophile review of the MAXX they talk about how good they sound in a small room about the size of mine; don't believe them."Don't worry, I don't believe anything that Stereophile says ( : | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 Hi Hifi - Sorry, I must have missed that line. It looked a lot like you were saying "The caravelles are a better speaker because they soujnd better than the MAXXs in a small room." If what you were saying is "the caravelles have a better high-end ... | |
| Car Audio I think I may have some relevant experience here.I know home audio well, and I know what accurate, high-fidelity sound using live unamplified orchestral music as a reference sounds like.You aren't going to get this in a car.However, for the 99.9% ... | |
| What's up with Talon? they look cool, too.the speakers, that is | |
| About the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy 8 Hifimaniac - I read your "David vs. Goliath" review.So pretty much you're saying that the Caravelles sound better than the MAXXs in your 13 x 18 ft room....That's like trying to drive a Farrari on a 10 foot track, you'd be better off with a go-kar... | |
| avoiding component purchase errors :part 2 9rw - Didn't your parents ever tell you "if you don't have anything nice to say...."If a thread bores you, don't read it, let alone actually replying to it. Why waste your precious time? | |
| Listening at very low volume For those of you considering a quality pair of headphones... just get it over with, and buy a pair of Sennheiser 650s and a cheap tube headphone amp like a MG Head OTL or a MF X-Can.Guaranteed, it will be some of the best $500 something total you'... |
