| Comparison of various subwoofers for 2 channel audio Rythmik and velodyne are both excellent options. I think u want something servo controlled to match the speed of the electrostatic. Rythmik has a pretty detailed write-up on this on their website. | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @gents . My request was to audition the equipment at the dealer where the unit is already located. I am not asking for an in home audition. I would be driving 2 hrs each way to be able to audition and purchase. The dealer has refused to remove... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @immatthewj the fact the unit was $10k is what blew my mind. This isnt a mCIntosh where you can go anywhere to hear it. Who the heck drops $10k on a used product with extremely limited distribution / demand that they've never heard besides a fl... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @russbutton , I was trying to pay the dealer a visit. since it was used, i emailed them to see if i could audition in at their facility which is 2 hrs one way from my house. | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @ntpc4 while I'm a cheesehead from the football mecca, I reside outside of that area now. To your point, I don't think i would have received the same response from a WI or Chicago dealer. Chicago and Milwaukee have alot of fantastic audiophile s... | |
| Starting Over and I need your help I agree with @daledeee1 's suggestions. I tend to think long term and pay a little more now to save me money later. I would buy a Hegel H190. There are several out right now on all the sites including eBay. I would target $2k. This integrated... | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @testpilot hit the nail on the head. Some people complain that the hobby is losing interest. Maybe they are driving customers to Magnolia and on-line? One of their competitive advantages is brick and mortar. | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @mahler123 I actually wouldn't have a problem doing that depending on the fee. The only reason I purchased a pair of speakers from them a year ago was because the salesperson spent some time (30 min) with me evaluating amps for a different rig. | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? @akg_ca I'm definitely moving on. It's hard to drop more coin with them or build a relationship when they aren't interested. Thanks for your feedback. | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? I have purchased from this dealer a year ago although I am sure they wouldn't recognize my name. I have also referred several people to them. | |
| Auditioning Used Equipment - Am I crazy ? I do not know their return policy. It isnt listed in the ad and when i click on RETURN POLICY on their website it just goes to the home page. | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? The forcefield 3 is a home theater sub rather than a music sub. I own one and the bass is quite boomy. A Kef KC62 has nice, tight bass for music. | |
| The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change To quote Bill Murray in STRIPES..."There is something wrong with you. Something very, very wrong with you!" I just picked up a D'Agostino amp from a gentleman who had a gorgeous system -VAC tube set up, Von Schweikert reference speakers. It sou... | |
| Rockport Lyras Not sure why people on this forum need to keep hatin on Big J and others. In general, I think he helps bring more people to the hobby and makes high end gear listening more accessible to the masses. My ear and his don't agree. I find him liking... | |
| OCD mickey website and negativity. Brands like Jeff Rowland or TAD wouldn't let Mike sell their product if he wasn't legit. I picked up a pair of F&F speakers at his house in Jan. His wife was fantastic and a music lover as well. She's a better salesperson than he is! I tru... |
