| Which hdtv would you recommend and why? Be sure you are comparing any two sets *at their best*. This very rarely happens, in my experience. In fact, it is extremely difficult to do in an average, "big box,chain" store.Good luck to you. | |
| The $5000.00 Complete System Challenge If you are now talking about spending up to $5000 on speakers instead of several components, I would definitely look into Merlins. The latest TSMs (maybe even with a decent, inexpensive sub for just a little more bottom end) would be terrific. Ano... | |
| Experienced audiophiles best speaker To buconero117: you've heard all the other speakers (and in the same room with the same equipment?! | |
| Best speakers for about $3500 I agree with at least checking out the Merlins. | |
| Best speakers for about $3500 Macdad,"They may play louder, and you may find them more dynamic, there is no way they have better clarity, that's my point."It seems to me (subjectively : ) that your point is actually to tell Dorkwad he's wrong and should admit it. Maybe that's ... | |
| Best speakers for about $3500 I third that, Duke. | |
| Springsteen "Live in Hyde Park" dvd "My favourite CD version of "Darkness" is the Columbia CK 35318 made in Japan. If only Springsteen's latest CDs sounded like this one, I'd be a happy man."Me too, Metralla...me too! Thanks for the post about the Japanese Darkness. I'll check that ... | |
| Springsteen "Live in Hyde Park" dvd Great post, Bongofury. I'm in general agreement with all of it! Excellent insights and points. | |
| Sexiest Pop Song Ever? I'm on Fire, by Springsteen, is very sexy in my book. I heard a great version of it by a woman, and, as a man, I found it even more sexy. | |
| Springsteen "Live in Hyde Park" dvd No problem and you're welcome, Metralla. I personally think that Working on a Dream sounds better than Magic, but, unfortunately, it's still not anywhere near as good as it could be. I sometimes wonder if at least these two records could be re-don... | |
| Springsteen "Live in Hyde Park" dvd I agree about the sonics of the Hyde Park Blu-Ray, and of much of Springsteen's recordings. Magic in particular is simply awful! Incredibly compressed and harsh sounding. I don't understand the comments about The Rising, however. Certainly not aud... | |
| Recommend Well-Recorded Hard Bop Jazz on CD? Blue Note has released a new series of remasters that are supposed to be amazing. I'd do a search. Last I knew, there were only 4 available so far; but more due soon. | |
| What decibel level do you listen at? Excellent posts by many; esp. Almarg and Musicnoise, IMHO. My answer is "it varies" - with the music, the dynamic range, my mood, the quality of the recording, and on and on. One thing I don't think has been mentioned (although I didn't read each ... | |
| Elrod Statement Silver vs Gold Lall said, "If I were you I would just return the Elrod and forget about buying it. If the company does not consider it important to attend to the concerns of customers then it does not deserve their money. Such companies should be boycotted."Wow.... | |
| Oppo 83 SE Sound in Absolute Terms ? "I thought I did that with my comment above. Not even close. The Oppo BDP-83 SE is nice for the price but it is not a SOTA player in any shape or form."I thought you did too, Cmalak, and I appreciated your response - and those of others. |
