| aerial and salamander Height shouldn't be an issue since the risers range from 9 to 12 inches. As for depth, you will have some clearance in the back anyway for wires and ventillation. You would probably have the speaker a 1/2 inch in front so that would leave 2 1/2 in... | |
| Which Jazz Albums are similar to Kind of Blue The same year Davis recorded Kind of Blue he also recorded "Sketches of Spain", and 18 years later, a group of top musicians, some who have been mentioned on this interesting thread, recorded an album with the same feel (and same composition at it... | |

There are a lot of models.Rsbeck - An MCA20 would be ideal for the reasons you stated. I hope I spot one soon.... | |
| Monitors or floorstander to match Velodyne DD15? Vladimir- Thanks for your response and the link to your blog. Your theories have a certain aestetic appeal. Doesn't make them necessarily right although the better solutions often seem to to be attractively simple. Do you recommend any minimonitor... | |
| Monitors or floorstander to match Velodyne DD15? Gunbei - I am an accoustical novice so take my theory with that in mind. It just seems to me there are several questions to ask when it comes to speed it is not simply the diameter of the woofer but rather the diameter and its interplay with the t... | |
| Monitors or floorstander to match Velodyne DD15? Vladimir - That's my expectation too, especially since the DD-15 used the same magnet as the larger DD-18. Do you have any thoughts about getting fronts and whether it's wise to get something that's lighter in the base and use the Velodyne in 2-ch... | |
| Monitors or floorstander to match Velodyne DD15? Gunbei - Thanks for the suggestions. I'm not sure what you meant in your third paragraph. Are you saying that if the response of the fronts are too quick they won't match as well to a 15-inch sub as would slower floorstanders? Of the size of the D... | |
| Anthem processors: AVM20 v. AVM30 v. D1 Macdadtexas - Thanks for sharing your experience. I'd love to try the Maggies but I have a two-year-old son who no doubt would try to stick his hand through them. Do you have any sense of the price difference between the AVM20 and AVM30? | |
| Anthem processors: AVM20 v. AVM30 v. D1 Avguygeorge - I'm not sure what you mean in the last sentence of your post. Could you explain? | |
| Best used speakers under $3,500? PMI guy - The perils of having wide-ranging musical tastes are apparent when choosing speakers. Since I'm buying components afterwards, I'm more concerned about the accoustics of my room.Tomryan and pubul57 - thanks for the suggestions, several of... | |
| Best used speakers under $3,500? Dave - A lot of folks have praised the Tyler's. You know anyone who has them in the metro NY area that I might be able to listent to? I know they offer home audition but that may not work for me - I'm in Canada with property in NY that I will visi... | |
| Best used speakers under $3,500? Opalchip - I enjoyed your analysis of the trade-offs. I can't say I know enough about engineering or accoustics to either accept or reject your points but it certainly is a plausible argument and one that was well-presented. I'm also intrigued by ... | |
| Best used speakers under $3,500? Alxg - thanks for your detailed secription of your room. I too have a room I suspect will be a challenge to treat, with a 10-foot fire place and two windows along one of the long walls and a lot of reflective surfaces that need to be tamed. |
