| Hsu CCB-8...What Have I Done? Speakers delivered today! Woo-hoo! Well-packed with no damage -woohoo again! I moved two Velodyne subs from HT rig into family room to use with 2-channel in there. So far so good. Bigger than I expected them to look! Super smooth finish, li... | |
| Hsu CCB-8...What Have I Done? Wow, my speakers are already in KC MO tonight...with delivery scheduled for tomorrow...all the way from Anaheim, Californ-I-A in 3 days! They just shipped from Hsu on Monday evening with Fed-Ex. Pretty speedy! I hope they arrive in good shape! | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? I am in no hurry to have my hearing professionally checked. I know they will try to sell me hearing aids. I think I will know when it is time for that. Then, I will go to the doctor.As for new audio puchases, I suppose I'll just do what feels r... | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? jl35: make smart used purchases and you won't have to worry as the value will remain fairly stable for a few years... Hey, I never claimed to be smart! If my history is my m.o., I tend to shop for discounted, new entry-level or slightly above. ... | |
| Hsu CCB-8...What Have I Done? alucard19: If you decide you don't like them you could always send them back and try a pair of the HC-1 MK2 speakers instead at half the price. You know, I really didn't even check those out. I just kinda laser-beamed in on the CCB-8's. I'm g... | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? inna: I’d say something is not quite right with you but I cannot know what this might be. I'd say you're probably right. And I don't know what it might be, either. But I've got a few ideas.jakeman: I`m 62 and know exactly how you feel. With no ... | |
| Hsu CCB-8...What Have I Done? soix:I will say that if off-axis listening is a priority the Hsus may well be the best choice of the three. Best of luck. I've been doing fairly extreme toe-in with my JBL Studio 590's in my surround rig, so I'm pretty much all in when it comes... | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? erik_squires: Do you want the regular, barely readable decoder ring ($5,000) or do you want the high-end, vibration isolated decoder ring ($150,000) ??Yikes! Just the tee-shirt, please...XXtra large! (This "sheltering at home " stuff is tuff on... | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? jdmccall, I am 73, and in spite of Tinnitus, and normal hearing loss, I still enjoy music, and my system. Yes, tinnitus sucks. Luckily, mine goes away sometimes, at least for a while. And I can still listen -through- it. So far, anyway. | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? Welcome to team frugal. Thanks! When can I expect my T-shirt and decoder ring? :) We just enjoy listening to it. You should too. Thank you for wise words I second that emotion! . | |
| Hsu CCB-8...What Have I Done? They have a 30 day return but customer pays shipping. Fair, I think.I bought a pair. Stereo only. I will use a pair of subs, though. My Velo’s can’t cross over higher than 80 Hz and that is what Hsu recommends for them, so I should be OK there...... | |
| Hsu CCB-8...What Have I Done? Great idea! Their subs are all so dang big, though! Maybe they will come out with a nice 12" sealed sub. I could handle at least two of those!Also, I already have multiple pairs of stands to choose from: 28" Targets, 26" Sanus and 34" Sanus woods... | |
| Hsu CCB-8...What Have I Done? I should have been clearer: The CCB-8’s aren’t subs. They are stand-mount 2-ways. They have an 8" woofer with a coaxial-mounted aluminum dome tweeter. They seem very well built and have some good reviews, but they would appear to be rather sensiti... | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? I'll check that out. Thanks! | |
| Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer? "Gratuitous link to system to show how serious I am:" I followed your link. You seem to be serious! :) |
