| Forced to DIY I am probably going to start kneading too, the bakery nearby sells chocolate croissants for $12. USD. (There is no airport terminal or amusement park around it) Plain croissant is $7.20. How good can they be? | |
| Best €2500 sub purely for music? even monitors can do well under 60Hz, otherwise I wouldn't have a crossover mess with my sub. | |
| Forced to DIY haven't hired a plumber in 5 years. Learned to fix everything myself. With their quotes of $350+ an hour, it was the best thing to learn lately | |
| Sold a component and bought it back, am I nuts? if they gave you way more in trade-in than what they posted it for, there is only one explanation that makes business sense: they acquired the item that you traded it for, for a lot less, and $1800 was just nominal. No retailer will offer x and th... | |
| Best €2500 sub purely for music? btw I think in subs, Martin Logan is a sleeper. I tested 5 different brands and models and ended up with the 700 which beat all the other ones (Klipsch, SVS, Elac, Polk). It’s not perfect but way better than the other ones, blends in with my speak... | |
| Best €2500 sub purely for music? on the subject: Monitor Audio subs were on my radar when I did my search. (I don't know if it has the features you are looking for, and I don't know how far the closest Monitor Audio store is to you. I am pretty bad at reading, and I am not even ... | |
| Best €2500 sub purely for music? @endymion_joshi-godrez so you are in Europe? (wait, I tried something never attempted in the history of audiogon: humor.) | |
| If you had to narrow your choices to 4 - 5 speakers pigeon holed into what they have more and more companies sell online only, and there are less and less dealers and so they have fewer brands to offer. The age of amazony retail. | |
| what to do with a stereo that needs repair I have a relative studying electrical engineering in College and one of their courses is amplifiers. He fixed several items for me. They weren’t high end like your item but amplifiers nevertheless, and it was fun for him, he at least knew enough n... | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? @arafiq exactly, the 1.5-3K price range may be the most competitive. Lots of choices and trickle-down tech to benefit from. | |
| Setting up home office so high sensitivity speakers with a lot of detail? Revel, Focal, B&W... the 60 day trial from Crutchfield | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? another thing going for them - when selling - is high retail value | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? it is true that the Harbeth model line-up's pricing is linear - as opposed to other speaker series (B&W, KEF, Tannoy, etc.) that are more exponential - not that it's an apples to apples comparison. So possibly, from that lens, the more expen... | |
| Are Harbeth Super HL5 XD right for me? what you have now is synergy between your components and synergy between your speakers and your ears. Once you change it the synergy may be gone. With new speakers you may need to change another component... maybe not. For one the KHLs have a high... | |
| un-becoming an audiophile @bigtwin Silly? Really? I think you could have made your point without the degrading adjective. PERCENTAGE is what’s what I said/meant, but if you want to misinterpret it, whatever... "bigger percentage of my income" applied to my taxes as well.... |
