| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? I realize how many speakers I have not heard. I now own the best speakers I've ever had, Wilson Maxx IIs. Truly full range (with a couple of bumps in my room), wonderful detail, pace, et al. This thread makes me want to own a lot of other speakers... | |
| Audio's Biggest Loser? All right, you asked for a response from Maxx/Pass owners. Well, It's good that my living room sits on a slab. The Clearaudio Champion II is roughly 50 lbs. with motor and base, Pass X1 and X350 weigh in at around 180, the Maxx IIs are close to 90... | |
| Happy 90th Mr. Brubeck I saw Dave Brubeck this past Summer at Ravinia outside of Chicago. He needed help walking to the piano, then proceeded to become 50 years younger the instant his fingers hit the keys. A true gentleman and a great composer and jazz musician. Happy ... | |
| wadia & iPod, anybody happy with it? I have moved most of my CDs to iPod through Mac iTunes using a combination of "uncompressed" formats, always with error correction. I did some listening comparisons between CD and iPod (using a Benchmark D/A) and have heard very subtle differences... | |
| The Hub: History of Dynaco part 1 Audiogon bill,Thanks for the trip down memory lane. My first experiences in audio were with the Stereo 70, modified of course, and I too received my electronic training courtesy of the taxpayers, in the military. It's exciting to think about pione... | |
| First Annual " Whaddya Get? for Xmas " Does my present (from myself) two years ago count? I got a pair of Wilson Maxx IIs, and it is the gift that keeps on giving. Especially since I can't afford any more presents for, oh, EVER! | |
| Wilson Audio speaker jacks Wilson Audio makes the jack for the Maxx speaker which I have used (borrowed from the previous owner, he will not sell me the jack) with great success. It is a work of art, machined from billet aluminum and very slim to fit under the speakers. I t... | |
| Does anyone like country No one has mentioned Junior Brown. Not that well known, and he does rip off into rock during his classically country songs, but he is a great guitarist and he writes some really good old country stuff. Check out his CD "Guit With It", containing s... | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG I got the Jeff Beck DVD yesterday, put it on last night and finally had to shut it off at midnight. I have seen most of it and it is unbelievable! In addition to the CD's songs there are female vocalists which blew me away and a set with Clapton a... | |
| i-tunes question Are you online when you ask itunes to ID the songs? You need to be because it pulls the titles and album info from their end. | |
| Jeff Beck "performing this week" OMG I have the DVD on advance order with Amazon, should ship early April. I have the CD and it's nuts! He does transcend the usual guitar platitudes and takes it to a new level. | |
| Speaker for low volume listening with high WAF You might want to audition the Usher BE-718 Tiny Dancers. I think they have a very nice sound, throw a great soundstage and are fairly small in size. | |
| Upgrade bug has hit, interested in Pass Labs Amps I have had a Pass X350 for a couple of years now, having driven Dunlavy SCIVs and now Wilson Maxx IIs and I find the overall sound to be very detailed, musical and well paced. It also will not be confused with a tube amp. It is solid state soundin... | |
