| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. The Wife and I also just finished watching the CM documentary and liked it a lot. We certainly learned some things we didn’t know about the life and turmoiled journeys of many of America’s legendary country stars.Defiantly it was an inspiration to... | |
| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? It depends in varying degrees on the recording, how deep and how wide the stage is and how well placed are all the instruments and vocals, but always, my Maggie 1.7s disappear from the performance. On good recordings, regardless of where I set or ... | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? @mewsickbuff Regarding the large sound stage, I agree with Mike, I've never been to a live performance where, when seated or standing 5th or 6th row, the performance didn't sound large.Speaker placement, sometimes even 1/2" one way or another, is ... | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? @mewsickbuff I agree with mljostyn, johnto and others, Your 400W @ 4ohm should do fine with the 3.7i Maggies and your room size, with care and patience in set up, should be fine.To me, the Magnapans of the late 70s early 80s, while having the deta... | |
| Speaker Volume +1 lowrider57A good sub to augment the bottom frequencies below 80 Hz would add weight, fullness and apparent volume. You would be surprised to find that you could back your overall mid to high frequency volume by 5db and still get the feeling of ... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. It looks like the follow up documentary may indeed have something that should be of interest to about any music lover. I, for sure, will be following along. No doubt there will be something to inspire me to dig out some particular piece/pieces of ... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. Thanks bdp24, for all the good info. I too wondered why Loretta didn't perform and would have loved to have seen something on Emmylou Harris. Not only a great singer, song writer, musician, in her own right, but I think, at one time or another, ov... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. @schubert I know in the pasty PBS American Masters did segments on Copland, Gershwin, Andrew Loyd Webber and others, so may be something coming up.Over the past couple of years we saw specials on Andrew Loyd Webber, Katherine Jenkins, Leonard Coh... | |
| An enjoyable evening watching "Country Music Live At The Ryman" on AZ PBS. I’m not very familiar with Ken Burns particularly, but did find the overall production and performances quite enjoyable and am looking forward to the ongoing series. I’m sure there will be something to learn and a bit of great music.....Jim@tooblu... | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? I like Adele as does my wife. I like her as an artist and (from what those who know her have said) as a person. There are so many female artists, past and present in so many genres, that I enjoy and have enjoyed over the years. Everyone from Amy W... | |
| Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers Very good point Eric. With speakers, as well as everything else, one size doesn't fit all. As much as I would love a Ferrari, or even my old 67 muscle car Camaro, where I live now (notoriously bad roads and an abundance of dirt roads and primitive... | |
| Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers While auditioning several very good speakers a couple years back, I found that the more dynamic and revealing speakers, although impressive and gratifying at first, after a short time, did not set well with my ears. As much as I thought I would li... | |
| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? For me, some of the most underrated, or least heard and appreciated, are the old Apogees - particularly the Duetta Signatures and the somewhat smaller Stages. Both the Duetta Sigs in a medium to large room and the Stages in a small to medium room ... | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr @richoppThe ML HQD was an interesting look and I assumed that you wasn't suggesting for OPs room, but as a point of interest. I should have put a LOL after my comment.I Always enjoy your posts.......Jim | |
| Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr @richoppThe Mark Levinson HQD system is very impressive, but most defiantly not suited for OPs room ;-) |
