BEDROOM MONITORS, on ceiling.....
Ah, now you're cooking with gas my friend! Per the other thread you started; if you are still listening only at lower volumes then look for a monitor that is a midrange hero, as bass won't make a difference at low volumes. Mounted on the ceiling w... 
Monitors for a bedroom system.......
Would the Kharmas sound better than the Bose? If the answer is yes, you just validated my point.That isn't much of a point. Since you seem to need a translation: Just like listening in a bathroom, listening in a bedroom, at low volumes, to ambient... 
Monitors for a bedroom system.......
I still feel that you would "get your money's worth" spending the 2k, as the speakers he mentions are quite good, and will sound better (even in his listening position) than a cheaper, worse sounding (in the case of the audiophile) set of speakers... 
could anyone help me ?
Krell output. Seldom has a single manufacturer contributed so much to destroy credibility for the entire high-end audio industry.That'd make Krell the George W. Bush of audio manufacturers!Actually I have heard a Krell system that was well assembl... 
Monitors for a bedroom system.......
As far as the pricepoint is concerned, I can speak for myself when I say that the reason I question the investment is that, in my opinion and experience, you would be just as well served in the reclined position, in a bed, in a typical bedroom, wi... 
Monitors for a bedroom system.......
The aspect of the request that I don't get is wanting a "..great, deep soundstage.." which is to be appreciated playing ambient music while nodding off (laying down I presume). Most monitors in that price range will be soundstage champions anyway,... 
Best Choice for Docking Station for an IPOD
You can get a pair of good multimedia speakers (amp built in) and a Signal Cable connector (I use their silver one) and call it a day. OK, this solution is not that portable, but it will sound a buttload better'n'Bose. The speakers I'd recommend a... 
Naming your child after Audio equipment?
Poor kid... And there's still a lot left in the list....this from a guy who likes to be known as "Mr hosehead"?!?! I dunno, if it were me I don't think I'd be too proud to tell folks who asked that I was named after an electronic appliance that my... 
Need a Recommendation for Classical Cello...
Highly recomended (seconded) Les Voix Humaines (not cello, but Viola da Gamba).On the same note: Marin Marais: Pièces de Viole du Second Livre, 1701 and Mr. de Sainte Colombe le Fils: Pièces de Viole (I purchased the two in a boxed set), also perf... 
Thinking outside the bean
Still think that power cords don't make a difference? I can only imagine what the Statement PC would do with our lattes. Time to check the classifieds....Dude, you really should install a dedicated line for your coffee machine if you are serious a... 
Pondering a pair of Klipsch La Scalas
Alright, I guess my final question today is: Do you think the La Scalas advertised for $1500 are worth the money?That's really a question for you. In terms of the market for them, because of their age, it swings widely in two directions, and I'd s... 
The last 5 ?????
Sure Albert, you can substitute Natalie - an excellent choice if I dare say! Ever see her in "Beautiful Girls"? She renders total suspension of disbelief that an adult man could fall in love with a 12 year-old (too late not to have folks peg me fo... 
The last 5 ?????
How will you know when you get there?A knock will come at your door, and it'll be God who shakes your hands, hands you a check with eight figures, and tells you, "Congratulations...you're there!" How will you know? Look for the white van marked "P... 
Pondering a pair of Klipsch La Scalas
I'll chime in again on the Forte input here. I've had two pairs of Forte II's. Liked em' fine. Very efficient. Go down pretty low (lower than the Scala's). They occured to me as great speakers to rock out too, but would not be my choice for vocals... 
Pondering a pair of Klipsch La Scalas
Howard - She'll get over it when she hears the improved soundstage. I'll bring the demoltion bar and Sawzall! I'll heartily second Howard's recomendation for Khorns over LaScala's if you have the corners/space to make'em work (and if you don't I c...
