| OUCH My Dynaudio's have crashed.... Am I missing something? You love the Dynaudio's, your room likes them, your gear likes them and even your wife likes them. Why would you even consider anything else - you've found it! Get a used pair of 2.8's or their current equal and be done wit... | |
| Your First Concert was..... KISS - Maple Leaf Gardens, Toronto. | |
| What is FAST? Thanks for the info - makes sense now. | |
| Audiokinesis Speakers I demoed them in-home last year - fabulous in every respect. The size was just too imposing for the room according to my wife so my Totem Hawks are still in place. | |
| What's your favorite remake of a song Nirvana doing Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World", Cowboy Junkies "Sweet Jane". | |
| Music Servers VS Excellent Transports? I own the Olive Musica and think it is as good or better than any transport I have owned but I have not owned the upper echelon of players/transports. I run mine thru a Benchmark DAC and love it because I actually listen to music way more often du... | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Had the same issue - went with Totem Hawks. Most of the Totem line is clean, sleek and furniture-like. Others I got a blessing on were Vienna, Dali and strangely Gershman Avant Gardes and GAPs which look more arty than anything. | |
| Are tiny subwoofers worthwhile? I have a fairly big room but couldn't get a big sub past my wife into the decor. I use two Velodyne SPL-800R - one beside each speaker and while it has taken a lot of trial and error, I have them integrated reasonably well. I don't get much south ... | |

| musical subwoofer recommendation for 2-ch What do you mean exactly by "slow"? | |
| DAC Recommendations Where can you buy a 500gb hard drive for $150.00?Almost anywhere. CompUSA, Best Buy, etc. | |
| Am I Bad Listener? Many thanks for your responses. I have learned a lot through this post. I'm not sure I will get completely off the upgrade/tweak merry-go-round but I will likely try to limit it and find more good recordings that bring out the best in my system.Th... | |
| Am I Bad Listener? I neglected to list the speakers - Totem Hawks. | |
| Subwoofer connection question Dude - your preamp outs are line level RCA connections - you can't run speaker cable from them. You run interconnect cables with RCA connectors from the preamp to the sub - one right, one left.Alternatively, if your sub has speaker connections (ak... | |
| Subwoofer connection question Your post is still confusing - you don't/can't make RCA connections to or from speaker binding posts. Are you trying to hook up the sub via RCA cables or via speaker cables between the speaker binding posts on your amp and speaker binding posts on... |
