| Unbelievable 3-D imaging sound I read Jim Smith’s “ Get better sound”, watched the DVD’s, played w tape measure ( I know, old school- should have used Lazer- didn’t have one - YET), spent a weekend listening, having kids & wife listen, found the sweet spot & was amazed.... | |

| seeking ‘HORN’ ideas apart from Klipshc Lascalla I have diy Volti modded Klipsch cornerhorns, took me a weekend, Volti mods cost more than the K-horns (purchased used from a gentleman in Houston, had to dissemble them & walk them down an outside spiral staircase from 2nd floor)- ‘70’s vintag... | |
| Best Speakers for a small Nearfield room, budget at most $10000 (used is also ok) Second the Harbeth 30’s, got mine used years ago on the ‘Gon, never looked back. | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Biggest?- easy:Had Old Wurlitzer 78 rpm jukebox, noise & static, reached in, wiggled the plug where it went in the amp to get better connection, got my finger & thumb around the speaker field coil output, most definitely got my attention. ... | |
| Why the truth is not in them ?? Maybe I’ve just been lucky.I ‘ve interacted w sometimes met ( purchasing/ picking up gear in person) a lot of really nice folks.If it sounds/ feels fishy, I don’t bite.maybe I’ve missed out on those deals that were “too good to be true,” but can’t... | |
