Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope?
She doesn't ask, and I don't tell. We've been married for over 17 years. When we dated and lived together (gasp) she knew I was a 'audio nut', her words. Since I'm the bread winner, she doesn't bother me much. When the UPS truck pulls up, she just... 
Center Channel needs to handle bass?
I don't think the center has to handle serious bass. It is mainly for diologue. The bass from car crashes or explosions should be routed, via the processor, to the subwoofer. Bass doesn't give directional clues, so you shouldn't be able to tell it... 
Stereophile's refusal to review more low
I like them to keep 'shooting for the moon'. I usually wind up buying their super-expensive stuff, albeit several years later at a much reduced price. 
Meridian 508.24 vs. Proceed CDP
I'll agree with Whknopp0713. I also own the Proceed and auditioned the Meridian. While I found the Meridian better for some types of music, I preferred the Proceeds dynamics overall. The Meridian was smoother and sounded better on solo type record... 
Confused By A Transport Upgrade
Hey Gunbei, it blows my mind that a transport could make a night and day difference. Don't get me wrong, I think the transport makes a difference, but a subtle one, not that kind of one. From my experiences with the other equipment you listed, I'm... 
What is your OTHER passion?
Damn Lak, do you sqeeze any work into that schedule? Or are you retired? Looks like fun. 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
Dds hifi, sorry, and now back to our regularly scheduled program. 
How does one get off the merry-go-round?
Hey Drubin, you talking to me? I took a 7 year break, does that qualify? I was hardcore from the late 80's to the early 90's ( Krell, Coda, Audio Research, EAD, Proceed, etc.) I found myself so wrapped up in family, that I had no time to listen. I... 
balanced are they worth it?
I recently changed from unbalanced to balanced, 3 months ago, and I've been pleased. I would say overall, the noise floor is definitly lower. The instruments come from a blacker, darker background, if you will. The strange thing I've noticed thoug... 
Smear campaign?
I don't think anyone will have the stones to disagree with you here Trejla. I'd just like to remind people that their initial reaction to a product may be positive, but after 6 months or a year we may change our minds. I just point this out for th... 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
Lak, you're crushing my dreams man. Don't tell me I got no future to look forward to. LOL. How old are yours? I have 3 boys (I know Fred McMurray) ages 17, 14 and 10. I was hoping in 7-10 years I'd be sitting pretty. Am I dilusional? Wait, maybe I... 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
Hey Tubeears, you may be older than dirt, but you are a lucky man to have a partner to share your passions with. My wife isn't interested and makes her disapproval clear. Oh the joy. Someday I'd like to try a tube amp, I'll have to wait 'til the k... 
What is your OTHER passion?
Sex. I really enjoy having sex. Did I mention that I like to have sex? Sex is fun. Too bad I'm married, huh? 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
Lak and Tubeears, what kind of music do you listen to? What volume levels? What size is your listening room? I own Classics, my room size is 14 x 22 x8.5 and opens into an adjoining room. I listen to rock, blues, jazz, folk, new age, classical, pr... 
Has anyone listened to Legacy speakers?
I've been a Legacy owner since 1987 and I hate you Sean. Just kidding, I've been around long enough to know variety is the spice of life. Currently I own the Classics, I feel Sean's post is fairly accurate, I describe them the same, I wouldn't use...
