| REL vs JL AUDIO I'm wondering why they are not really the best, Is it due to one of these; better price, better advertising, better distribution, or simply a better product. I'll go for a better product with less failures as possible and easy customer support.... | |
| REL vs JL AUDIO Seems like the people with the high end loudspeakers are using JL AUDIO. Is REL Midfi?......are you for real?... What is for real is despite JL being made in the US....I see reports on here sharing shoddy support and some multiple failures but ... | |
| Tone controls -- assuming you're ok with them, when would you try them? a standing debate whether tone controls are worth the (likely) sound degradation Which is a silly debate when the mixing console your music was made on has tone controls all over the signal chain.

Couple that with the sub... | |

Good luck having a Harley go without servicing as long as a Mac does. The comparison is one i've heard before but not accurate given ... | |

From my experience, many audiophiles are pretty pretentious so I tend to avoid such groups, don't tell people I like h... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer "real audiophiles...know it doesn’t sound that good"... Sounds like some people want to gatekeep what a "real audiophile" is when the term is based on sound preference. To push that exclusivity is pointless because all you have are a bunch of far... |
