| Caveat Emptor That is absurd! The 20% restocking fee is designed to enable one to audition equipment in their own home w/ their particular equipment to see if it sounds good. We know some equipment requires breaking in to sound its best. If the equipment is de... | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers As you can see from the endless array of answers, it’s in the eye of the beholder. To me, some of those mentioned are beautiful & some hideous as I’m sure others feel as well. What’s the most beautiful arson or time of day it place in the wor... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects I’ve recently got a full complement of Triode Wire Labs cables (speaker, interconnect, pier & digital) & think they’re very good & reasonably priced. Handmade to order in Massapequa Park, NY in a week or two. Very well made, very fl... | |
| Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers For myself, the only potential “advantage” of a small stand mounted speaker without full bass extension ability can be their ability for ultra detail & disappearing act ( often due to potentially less cabinet resonance s) which many hold in ve... | |
| Scam Alert Don’t even open emails or click on anything in ones you know are BS. Highlight the sender to see where it came from first & 9 /10 of the time, it will be some crazy address so you know it’s a scam., Trash it immediately. Opening up unknown li... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? I went to a Rogers High Fidelity Tubed Integrated Amp, model EFH 200 Mark II. Without a direct comparison in the same system & room, there’s really no way to tell how just how really good it is but it’s REALLY good! Lots of power, best bass I’... | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... That may be so but just because a speaker can produce quite low frequency tones doesn't necessarily mean it can produce realistic bass notes from a bass guitar, bass drum, kettle drum etc in a a tight, dynamic fashion at any decent volume in any ... | |
| I met this guy in a hotel room.... Smaller two way speakers in a small room may net good bass response at moderate volumes. I do not see how it’s possible in larger rooms or at louder volumes without either big woofers or multiple medium sized ones. I doubt anyone has ever heard t... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? Dies anyone have any experience with their two newer pieces of “Schiit”, the equalizers? I was thinking of trying one to help sort out a mid bass hump I have in my living room before I start putting any sound absorption devices in that my wife wou... | |
| American Made Audio Products Jim5559 - There may be some equivalent quality items made in Europe & Canada but better? Doubtful. Here's just a few brands that are amongst the very best available in their respective price ranges & American made: Magico, YG Acoustics, R... | |
| Interesting comment on Bose Speakers..... Bose speakers are great for the true quality speaker companies who now offer inexpensive excellent sounding products & make them look & sound like what they are - mass marketed junk. Elac, PSB, Paradigm, Polk & many others all make gre... | |
| God doesn't need to know what time it is. A watch keeps time. A Rolex is a piece of jewelry that also keeps time. Some folks like to wear jewelry, some like to look at appreciate it & some do both. You can buy a decent watch that keeps better time than a Rolex for under $100 & ... | |
| Are Harbeth the only warm and euphonic speakers in town ? From what I’ve read, you might give a listen to the new KLH Five or their new 2 way version. Probably pretty warm sounding & also have better bass than any of the other speakers mentioned in this discussion if that’s a feature important to you. | |
| Improvement in Musicality for home theater system I did just what Carlsbad described & it’s works well. I have an Anthem 7 channel receiver & got a good tubed integrated amp & even new better main speakers. Sounds great watching movies ( everything on) or w/ 2 channel music , just ma... | |
| Amir and Blind Testing Great topic. I too agree it can take a long time to really appreciate & understand what a certain component is doing or how it sounds. Often, once you get used to that new sound, it becomes our new standard & how we think it "should"sound.... |
