| List my home theater Good question. I have some Klipsch RP series (mains, center, sub) that I'm trying to sell. | |
| What do you do when the music’s not speaking to you? Take a day off | |
| ~$3-5k speakers for moderate volume listening: Spendor A4, Fyne 501SP, Focal Aria X no. 2? I would go with Fritz. | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? Tekton Double Impact loudspeakers will blow your musical mind - and leave you with lots of cash to put towards high quality sources. Because the solution to too-much-brightness is more-brightness. | |
| Critical listening and altered states Huh. I always thought THC was a mild hallucinogen. "Cannabis has been historically classified as a hallucinogen. However, subjective cannabis effects do not typically include hallucinogen-like effects." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5... | |
| Denny Dias I wasn’t expecting starting this thread to unleash such a flood of armchair psychology. "Unleash"? "Flood"? Come on. We have a couple comments about how he came across. Check your pants for the flood. ;-) | |
| B&W 802D1 - How can I tame the brightness? If you like the clarity you're getting but the brightness is too intense, perhaps something with a ribbon tweeter? I was very impressed with these and in your price range – you might consider the one up, too: https://apertura-audio.com/en/produc... | |
| Denny Dias this was an incredibly awkward and ultimately quite boring interview. Beato...doesn’t get far with Dias, who apparently isn’t interested or willing to be drawn out. My sense is that Dias is likely suffering from some mental ailment and th... | |
| What do you listen to? Roon has changed my habits – toward new listening. About 70% new. | |
| Denny Dias 21 minutes in, Dias states that Steely Dan's 3rd and 4th album were recorded using Magnaplanars, which Walter brought into the studio | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? Doesn't correlate with sound quality at all and yes I use Class D. Agree, much of the time. Since Class D is relatively new and the kinks are still getting worked out, I think there is some correlation to sound quality – but as you point out, n... | |
| Critical listening and altered states @12many By the way, I like your handle – clever! Agree that what is heard gets incorporated. I agree with others that music is an ASC. (I mean, what isn't an ASC given certain definitions? That's a rhetorical question, FWIW.) The point of my qu... | |
| Tom Martin's Listening Room I was surprised to see the components between the speakers. Usually, they're down the side to help optimize imaging and minimize vibration. | |
| Denny Dias I'm super interested in this. Thanks for posting. | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? I'm no longer convinced that talking about "Class A" vs. "Class D" etc. is all that helpful. Implementation designs vary in sound character so much that's it's almost like asking, "Has anyone listened to any 5' 5" musicians? I used to like them bu... |
