| My new B Stock speakers @grislybutter , you may be right. The B&Ws, at the time I bought them, were replacing a way more affordable pair of NHT 2-way bookshelves that I had picked to pair with a M&K sub . . . this was my entry into HT back in the era of VHS and... | |
| Mood I am moody, and when I am in a bad mood I don’t even want to listen to music. I found this an interesting:statement regarding near field listening: It kills the sound stage presentation - or something to that effect I listen in a small room i... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @soix , thanks for the continued input. I do remember some posts a while ago in which you indicated that you felt the B&Ws could be bested easily by other monitors/bookshelves. I did used to like them a lot, though. The weird thing about the ... | |
| Listening Room A five or 10 Watt tube rig, a couple of small spectacular monitors @gents , if I could start over, especially given the room that my system now resides in (and perhaps if it was still in the living room) that is what I would want to try at thi... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @dr-boop , thanks for the info on the Revel SNs. @mark200mph , on a good night, music makes me feel great. @grislybutter , ah yes. Different Drums . . . I can see that. I remember when I was in the Air Force back in the early ’80s, I had a bu... | |
| SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ? @asvjerry (returning fistbump). This does remind me of the early spring of ’81 when I was in the USAF . . . I had ordered a mushroom growing kit from the back of "High Times’ . . . I was living in a trailer off of highway 50 between O’Fallon, Il.... | |
| My new B Stock speakers The weather couldn’t make up its mind tonight--dark and nasty to almost clear to dark and nasty--but no electrical activity. So I finally said screw it & got back there & put 3.5 plus on ’em. I did what I told myself I wasn’t going to do (... | |
| Listening Room I can see the virtue in both what @gents and @unreceivedogma are saying. I am not nearly as critical or scientific as @unreceivedogma is, and my listening room, such as it is, is not nearly as scientific or critical as his is, but my liste... | |
| My new B Stock speakers What type of music impressed you most with the Revels? @grislybutter , sorry, I didn’t read that carefully before I replied. The type of music? Too early to say, I guess, I listened to an old test CD that had music tracks that were mostly inst... | |
| SHALL WE PLAY A GAME ? didn't I once see something about playing Sabbath at 16rpm, drinking a bottle of Nyquil, and seeing god? I am not sure that it would be God that you would see under those circumstances. | |
| My new B Stock speakers @grislybutter , what I seem to pay attention to most is the vocal work. There were inflections in Linda Ronstadt's voice that were brought out more than what I had noticed with the B&Ws. Also, before I settled down in my chair in my room, I... | |
| My new B Stock speakers Thanks @ghdprentice ! I am going back in! Thanks, @mikhailark for the explanation. | |
| Unplugging power cords from amps/ pre amps Not sure lightning will be stopped by a 6mm gap in a breaker. IF your system is plugged into separate circuit(s), (as it should be) simply turn the breaker(s) off, back on after storm passes. There is an extended surge protector thread g... | |
| My new B Stock speakers @elliottbnewcombjr , B-Stock. Hmmm, what I would want to check/know is how well the drivers are matched/balanced, from low frequencies up to high frequencies, midrange the most important. I’d like to know even if they were not B-stock. I am g... | |
| My new B Stock speakers 86 Db is not sensitive at all. @mikhailark , I realize that. That was why after I typed the rating for sensitivity I then typed that the reviews I read called the speaker an easy load to drive. I had my reservations about a sensitivity ratin... |
