| Subwoofer Suggestions nothing wrong with SVS. I don't think the entry level models are the best value or at least they did not work for me. | |
| My new B Stock speakers Oh and about the Celestions.... The company stopped making speakers 10+ years ago, now mostly make drivers. In the 90s they made the 3, 5, SL6, famously, they were all budget friendly, quality speakers and I still have a pair of 5s. What I found... | |
| How much should I expect with a warranty issue from a large retailer/distributor? spending a $100 sound like the quickest way to have this solved. Trust the original packaging. | |
| Help me understand the current amp market yes, for the type of music you listed, SS seems to be the way to go. You have a good budget, do you have audio dealers nearby? | |
| My new B Stock speakers I don't want to sound silly about the B&W but I never liked them and I think you may just realize you "deserve" better. I am not saying they are bad speakers, they are a great brand but it's just subjective, to me they always sounded "dry". I ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @immatthewj Blue Bayou is such a sweet songs too... Fun fact about "Different Drums" - it was written by Michael Nesmith - of the Monkeys. It's amazing how these talents cross paths.... | |
| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference yes, true the GoldenEar Reference is more expensive. It's apples and oranges I guess, top GoldenEar model vs. 2nd tier Paradigm | |
| Help me understand the current amp market tu be or not tu be That's is the... (Sorry) I agree with @glennewdick - the Luxman is fantastic. If you want to change it, just pick a direction, geography, technology, brands. | |
| Subwoofer Suggestions I tried 5 different subs (all under $400) and could only afford one vs 2. I lucked out, the one that worked out the best is a 10" Polk from shopgoodwill for $25. Everything else was a giant mess, sound-wise. I am looking to score another Polk. I a... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @immatthewj that's a beautiful (and partly tragic) story! Thanks for sharing. I read somewhere that our musical taste doesn't change much, what we like in our teens is what would listen for the rest of our lives. Yes it evolves but we will always ... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @immatthewj my go-to is female vocalists too. I can't listen to Linda Ronstadt, it evokes memories from my past - painful times when her music was my comfort but I do love her voice. I also can't get enough of Joanie Sommers, Sonnie and Cher, Fraz... | |
| Paradigm 120h vs Goldenear Reference I have heard some Paradigm speakers. Not GoldenEar. GoldenEar speakers seem to be cheaper and better value but, in the same time, Paradigm speakers are also very good value, high quality, reputation, etc. I think it’s a no brainer to go wit... | |
| My new B Stock speakers The Revels are fantastic speakers. I hope you are falling in love with the sound. I scored a pair of Celestions a few weeks ago (for close to nothing), and I can't get enough of them. What type of music impressed you most with the Revels? | |
| why expensive streamers I don't have a streamer or a DAC and I am absolutely clueless but based on what it does, it sounds like the only reason why cheap streamers sound worse than expensive ones is because they are poorly designed and "create" issues. There should be no... | |
| For city apartment dweller audiophiles. Have you ever had neighbors banging on your walls? when I was in my early 20s I would turn on my stereo, highest volume, 2 seconds at 1AM. Then again in 20-35 minutes. Until 4AM, when I finished my homework for school. The neighbor and I were not on the best terms |
