| How serious are you? Building my dream system took 30 years at an easy level of 9.750. Now I spend my time in pursuit of music at a robust level of 9.875. The internet changed everything for me... so much music just a click away. Now my mailbox is just a new cd recept... | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers A very good friend of mine owns a sweet pair of Altec 19s and a pair of 1985 LaScalas that I sold him 20 years ago. They are still very much alive and in use. Crazy they have not been "killed". | |
| Help this old rookie with speakers Having owned all the Heritage line of speakers, I would suggest a used pair of Forte speakers would fit your budget and room. The Heresys are good speakers, but the Fortes go lower and project better. All my speakers have Crites upgrades of some s... | |
| Replacing current sub with another Are you trying to talk yourself out of the SVS? Seems like a perfect choice for your situation. I started with the PC2000 Ultra, then bought a SB4000, then a SB3000. Each integrated easily by themselves and now I use all three. Hard to beat. Good ... | |
| The Symphony of the Audiophile: How Do You Define Enjoyment in Sound? Live performance sound as the only goal is a fool's errand. Being a musician and having experienced firsthand the travails of horrible venues, power issues and the quest for all participating to do their part, rarely do the stars align and produce... | |

| A previous discussion included a statement about crossover components. This is interesting. I responded to a thread asking about when speakers become hi-fi verses mid-fi and was excoriated for stating that my Klipsch Heritage speakers were easily modded in the crossovers, making them more palatable for me as hi-fi. C... | |
| Wharfedale Elysian 4 Incredible build quality and sound, but made in China. I buy USA until it becomes impossible. Like CD players. Marantz all day every day for me. God bless America, but let's not get carried away. | |
| When are speakers considered Hi-Fi and not Mid-Fi??? The Heritage line of speakers is a fantastic speaker to mod to your tastes. They can easily be customized for any situation and that makes them hi-fi to me. | |
| McIntosh C22 (old & new) vs C2600 My Mc225 amps pair best with the C50. The synergy is undeniable in my system. Going on10 years now. Have not had a chance to hear the C53 yet. | |
| Have a reflective Memorial day. Memorial Day is not a holiday so we as Americans can honor the elite ruling class but the men and women who served and did their duty, at costs some of us will never truly understand or appreciate. It should be clear to all now, that we the masses... | |
| A Serious Subwoofer But does it sound good? | |
| How rare is an audiophile You and your wife sound like music lovers first and audiophiles a close second. When the two meld together, great things happen. Thanks for sharing your experience. Tonight, listening to GoGo Penguins / A Humdrum Star has hit me straight in the fe... | |
| What are your favorite songs or albums for illustrating a deep soundstage? Dominique Fils-Aime / Stay Tuned does a fantastic job of projecting depth and width. An added bonus is that her music is extremely yummy. | |
| Advice on how to liquidate system Maybe not, but I feel a "Thanks for your service" is appropriate here. Truly from my heart. |
