| Is today’s contemporary music lacking? I know exactly what you mean. Its like the people that make movies are the ones that are making music. Its pure overproduced crap. I had given up for many years that all good music to be done had already been done. Then, in the 90's when my so... | |
| Questions about Mcintosh tube amp pairing with Altecs This is just my opinion. I have 2 pairs of A7's, I believe the best speakers I have ever listened to. One is 8 ohm, the other is 16 ohm. I have listened to these with various different amps. Audio Research (tube amp), Dynaco ST-70 (early rebui... | |
| Rega Planar 3 Amp Pairing First rule of audiophile, keep everything you currently have until you are positive about the change after extended listening to the new stuff. I believe either way, you will like the Cambridge or the Rega better. I'm not a big fan of class d am... | |
| amplifier with volume control I prefer the name of potentiometer for the volume switch. It just makes it sound like it is holding all the answers. This may sound strange but I have my "cheap system". This runs a class D amp to some transmission line speakers that I built. ... | |
| What Good Songs Can You Mention? While I don't disagree with the lyrics, God did not grace this person with the gift of musical creation. Very bold though. Those with faith should never worry about their critics, needless to say. I would say my current favorite, besides Ode to... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Decware SE34I.5. Granted you need some highly efficient speakers with 6 watts/channel. Love what an EL-34 tube can do regardless. Something about what has been done with a pentode tube ran as a triode is magical. Hands down, the most musical s... | |
| McIntosh XRT25 Question Whatever you do, keep the drivers out of the sun. UV light is their worst enemy and will breakdown, usually, the foam or elastic surround first. I have several speakers that are 40+ years old. I have 2 pairs of Altec Lansing A7 500's that sound... | |
| Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels. I listen to some Altec Lansing A-7 500's that are 16 ohm, driven by Decware, 6 watts/channel. Very sensitive speakers that sound unbelievably great at all volume levels. I have found some things that have the sensitivity is 95 and as high as 115... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? When someone tells me that both Nelson Pass and Steve Deckert are now designing exclusively in Class D, I will consider more. Until then I have 2 class D's and that is more than enough. Love the operating temperature of class D. Oh yea, I also ... | |
| What is the Make and Model of this speaker? You have some options with the Akai. I believe it is a quad receiver or you can run in 2 channels for "double power". Also, I would be tempted to try it in "quad" mode just to see. This has all the quad electronics and you might as well have so... | |
| What Are Your Reference Discs? or Specific Reference Tracks I just use 1 piece of music. David Byrne - from the "Grown Backwards" disc, the song "Lazy". I don't buy much in the way of new stuff but want to make sure that things are banging on all cylinders. This has lots and lots of dynamic range. For ... | |
| Several B&W Speakers to Sell....but there's a catch? You have to fully evaluate what you have. First, hook them up and give them a listen. With excessive humidity you may have some internal damage to either the drivers and or the crossover. Once that is done, then you have to post based on a fair... | |
| It is about time, a video projector tale Got an old Mitsubishi projector that is still on its first bulb and came with a second. Still working great and being in the midwest, got the theater setup in the basement, so no light washout. That said, great to know technology is marching onw... | |

| I had a few drinks and bought some speakers You don't have a drinking problem you have a room problem. Now that you have 2 sets of speakers, you will need to dedicate another room to listening. Yes, you will need to buy input and amplification for this other room. Drink more, you will be... |
