| 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. | |
| Any Thoughts? Am in total agreement drmuso with your insight. I have been building my system in the same room for 20 yrs. and have absolutely heard this occur. And as far as Taylors go, I will take Taylor Momsen over Swift all day long. For many reasons. | |
| Help me upgrade my beginner system! I agree that paired subs can have a dramatic effect on the music. Best system related decision I ever made was to finally go sub. Have never looked back. Three subs is even better. | |
| What is the proper loudness for listening? Bravo barts, I agree. My system sounds best at 90-100db and does it easily at about 25 watts a channel. The key is very dynamic and bass heavy music. To each his own, but what I have come to expect from music is a connection that can only be had a... | |
| What is the most challenging music to play on a stereo? To my ears the more resolving the stereo is, the harder rock is to play at louder levels. Distorted guitars come off as grating in many recordings from the decades that rock and roll dominated the airwaves. In the 70s and 80s most of this music wa... | |
| Question: Sound Treatment behind the Listener? I found In my rectangular room 12" of the wall and 12" of the ceiling full length of the rear wall and corners with absorption panels sounds the best. Like yours, my rear wall also has household objects that act as diffusion. +1 curiousjim... the ... | |
| Technical assistance and recommendations needed +1 for the Cardas speaker cables. You can buy the 4s11 in bulk and do your own pretty easily. No cable is an equalizer, but proper mating can really make a difference. My Klipsch Heritage speakers have all benefited from a Cardas cable of some sor... |
