| Does your system sound “better” after being away? Food tastes better when hungry. | |
| Thinking about another amplifier (Galion) I keep coming across this Galion amp for some reason. Because it's heavily promoted by a Thomas, who also happens to be a Youtube influencer, who has gotten his other influencer peers to review it. It may be a good amp, but I'm suspicious tha... | |
| What does Nominal Impedance mean? Curve steepness and width important too. Possibly of interest: https://audiojudgement.com/speaker-impedance-curve-explained/ | |
| Bang for the buck I've had Salk SS6M speakers and Fritz's speakers. In all, I liked the Be tweeter speakers about equal but I liked the Fritz Carbon 7 better than the other two. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/review-fritz-heiler-s-carbon-7-se-mk-2-bookshe... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? I'd ask you what we should be allowed to spend on speakers, but maybe we should keep the moral and political discussions on Twitter, not an audio hobbiest website. Sorry to let morality exceed it's appropriate boundaries. We must keep morality... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? As I said in my OP, I’m not trying to trash him or his company. Rather, the way his website was listing things was confusing if not misleading -- that’s all I was saying. On the "Available Now" page, everything says "Sold Out". Perhaps the banner... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? Rather than guess as to what his business model may or may not be, call him. He builds to order for the most part. I may. I am not shy about sending an email. This is a post trying to understand his business model, in part. That’s allowed, I as... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? @jl35 Hadn't seen that on Salk site. Of course, two bad websites don't make a good one. ;-) @jsalk | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @waytoomuchstuff Now take those numbers and project a straight line out to 100,000 times that investment ($400k) while removing the word "coffee". Is there some level of consistency in the motiviators? I guess...yes? This is clearly in your w... | |
| Omega speakers -- mostly sold out, all the time? Thanks. I previously bought from Salk and his website rarely lists things as sold out, and Fritz speakers don’t say this either. Nor does Ascend, another small maker. I realize that a one person operation probably does not have the time/bandwidth... | |
| Service recommendation in Denver @smolder Aural hifi is in the business of restoring and selling vintage gear. My tech, who is too busy to take on more, does some work for them. They can do your repair. | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? Once said, the comments made by Pope Francis and the criticism of materialistic values is a slippery slope. Consider a $133k or $3k pair of loudspeakers. If you get on his slope then you have to ask, "Why should we enjoy any stereo or hometheater... | |
| Is it possible for a high end manufacturer to overprice their goods? @waytoomuchstuff A little about the luxury market: Centi-millionaires, traditionally, don’t loose sleep agonizing over whether or not they received strong price/performance when making a purchase.. They are primarily concerned with owning somet... | |
| Rel No 31 subwoofer. Good to know, especially for others with similar room dimensions. | |
| Service recommendation in Denver Aural hifi is good -- the head tech, Royal, really knows his stuff. |
