| Would Totem Arro's be a significant upgrade from Kef Q150's Thank you for the words of encouragement, @grislybutter , and unfortunately I probably will. At least until I run out of disposable income and good credit. However, sometimes I think that with my hearing and listening room limitations, I am chas... | |
| Who is Roon? . . . however, this evening I am still intending to re-read The Rhoon Of The Ancient Mariner. | |
| Audiophiles and De-cluttering -- your journey toward both psychic and sonic improvement I totally gave up HT and concentrated on 2 channel. But that was way back in the '90s when the first step up from Dolby Prologic was happening. I think they were calling that next step AC3 at the time. | |
| Listening Listening "dry", the dopamine released from music alone is never going to be quite what it once was I can relate, @mulveling . For a few years I used to enjoy sipping brandy or bourbon or rye or scotch or sour mash or drinking (not sipping) wi... | |
| Would Totem Arro's be a significant upgrade from Kef Q150's @grislybutter , to begin with I thought I liked them, but now I am kind of feeling they may have actually been a lateral move. Not that I don't think they sound good, just that maybe what I really wanted ("tell me what you want, what you really r... | |
| Who is Roon? This has gone on long enough--go to your roon and don't come out until you can be serious. | |
| Would Totem Arro's be a significant upgrade from Kef Q150's I was reading some Totem Arros reviews and listings myself, as I was starting to second guess my recent purchase of a couple of Revel M126be’s. As far as recommended power, I guess Totem was saying 20 to 80 wpc (which made me think that they must ... | |
| Adding a tube amp is a good idea? My first better end system, 30 years ago, started with a Cary entry level tube amp (and a B&K digital HT preamp in front of it). That started me down a long road. I am not familiar with that ARC amp you listed, but my next upgrade from the... | |
| Who is Roon? This thread has gone Rooney Tunes. | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? Not collectible, but my favorite piece of music art is a poster from the Joyous Lake in Woodstock of NRBQ, signed by Al,Terry, Joey , Tom, Don and Gary, circa 1980. Framed and hanging on the wall near my system. "Collectible" is in the eye of... | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? I got to thinking about it some more and I was pretty sure that Jill Sobule signed a CD from back in the days when she was opening for Warren Zevon. We went and caught that show on a couple of occasions, and once she signed a ticket stub for me t... | |
| Listening I most definitely cannot read and listen at the same time. Either demands enough of my concentration that it cancels the other out. Back when I had my system in the living room, I used to do other things (like get ready to go to the gym or barbe... | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? @immatthewj thats quite a lot, actually @sls883 , when I first started typing my reply to your thread,I was thinking ". . . well, no guitars . . ." (which is REAL cool!) and all I could think of was the CDs I had Lucinda and The Cowboy Junkies ... | |
| Collectibles signed by musicians. What do you have? Not really a whole lot. Two or three CDs signed by Lucinda Williams and also a picture that was taken of Ms. Williams and me that she signed; a couple of CDs signed by Margo Timmins (and one also signed by Peter and Michael Timmins and Alan Anton)... | |
| Who is Roon? @wsrrsw , you are rooning this thread, which has already turned into the roonation of us all. |
