| Why would someone feel the need to comment unpleasant things on sale posts Good luck with selling your father's gear. And please accept my condolences on the loss of your dad. Going through my pop's stuff was one of the hardest things I ever did, so I truly feel your pain. Soldier on and keep the memories. | |
| Question: What are some of your best pieces of advise to someone new to the hobby? Remember, everything matters but nothing is required. Play it loud. | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong As I believe this post was started tongue in cheek, the only thing I will add is that equipment cannot be compared in the parameters of generation. My Pioneer HPM speakers in 1978 brought me more musical joy then than I can even hope for out of my... | |
| Antique Sound Labs Nothing to add of assistance but felt like noting that this thread is why I first starting using this site. Good questions with smart useful answers. Information is really important in finding the gear and room that lets the music touch your soul. | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. Maybe it is Chris Isaak / Wicked Game. Now I am not sure anymore. Oh well... back to my Old Forester bourbon and a little more contemplation. | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. I forgot to add my pick. The Avette Brothers / No Hard Feelings is obviously the winner. | |
| The greatest Pop song yet written and recorded. Once again, a music list without one song from this century. Sad. | |
| Klipsch speaker placement And yes the Heritage line are easier to place than many speakers. Mine are close to the walls and do everything well but excel at pressurizing the room. | |
| Klipsch speaker placement Cornwall's yes. Subs yes. Not all situations are the same, of course, but most can benefit from a sub that works for your system. I was the original no sub guy. Now I use 3. All of the Heritage speakers benefit from a good sub. | |
| 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... | |
| Selling gear made to be a set In general, separate most items. Your two items should sell together. They were designed to complement each other. |
