| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary I imagine that having alternate amps is a given for folks, here, eh? Especially if you have tube amps? You have a SS as an alternate? | |
| How to pm a member @soix It was hard for me, too. Suggestions here are good. If you want to send a link or email, spell things phonetically. So, if you have gmail, write something like, "you can electronically reach me at bobat geemail" and tell your recipient to ... | |
| Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon There was a demise and no one told me? | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary @mesch Nice to hear from you. I'm also curious about the LRS speakers. I've heard the XA25 has much more power than officially claimed. Also glad to hear from the motorcycle folks and others with multiple forms of hobby gear. I love music, but ... | |
| Fritz vs CSS vs Ryan I had the Carrera’s and could not tame the beryllium tweeter. Harsh and bright in more than a few song segments. Two different houses, three different rooms. This was with Odyssey Audio hot rodded Khartago amp and Candela pre with Amperex 7316 p... | |
| Fritz vs CSS vs Ryan @temmple I suggest having a phone call with Fritz to discuss options, prices, etc. He's a very nice person. | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary Interesting divergences here. Some think that speakers are seeking to get the sound "right" and so there's no reason to have a system B. (Some think I'm asking about replacing their "A" system. That's not the question.) Others see sound presentat... | |
| Fritz vs CSS vs Ryan @temmple I did, but they were a hair's breadth away. I honestly loved them both. In retrospect, though, I think I loved the Fritz Carbon 7's even better. Really lovely, intimate and warm midrange. Seductive. | |

| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary Great responses so far. @bobpyle mentions that he's hit audio nirvana and doesn't see why he'd have a second pair. Posters have mentioned a bit about why they like the variation which comes with a second speaker -- seems like tonality, dynamics, a... | |
| Adding a sub. - can i start with one? OP, it seems that there are some answering the question whether one sub will be "enough" and others are answering what will be "ideal." Which are you after? | |
| Speaker polyamory -- or, stories about getting a second set to alternate with your primary Thanks, Mike. I know my curiosity is piqued by electrostatics (e.g. Eminent) but also by the British speakers. | |
| ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements. @russ69 Good catch! Actually, I'm a fan of watching the odometer while driving. I'll be darned if I'm going to miss it turning from 99,999 to 100,000! | |
| ABS: What Is The Trouble With Measurements. @larsman Thanks for letting me joke around a bit. In seriousness, measurements are nothing by themselves -- context and purpose are necessary. Some don’t care how much sugar is in their coffee -- a lot or a little. "Lot" and "little" are crude me... |
