| Difference between Krell HTS 1 & HTS 2 The Plinius. Then some Dynaudios and you're set! | |
| Why are you listening to that? ? If I'm truly just sitting down to listen, nothing else going on, recording quality goes way up in importance. However, I would say that it limits my choices to abou 60% of my 1000+ CD collection, and not down to a couple dozen (or fewer) "audiophi... | |
| Difference between Krell HTS 1 & HTS 2 You'll drive yourself nuts if you worry about the new when you have the less-than-new, especially in HT processors. Hopefully, you got a good deal on the HTS1, as they're not current production. Assuming you did, and you already said you enjoy it,... | |
| How do I start? NHT's are nice speakers, especially for a modest system (at least initially) - a good receiver can drive them nicely, they're made to be place relatively close to the wall, they work very well in a dual-purpose role (HT and Music). And, they have ... | |
| Your Best System? My current system is the best I've ever had. It's very well balanced, meaning that none of the components are clearly the weak link, and none stand out by revealing the rest of the system as being the weak link. I'm enjoying this state of affairs ... | |
| Do You Understand Music? I push my boundaries, but slowly. There's nothing better than putting on an artist you've never listened to before and being floored - that's at least as fun as the latest equipment "revelation". I will often not be as blown away as I would like, ... | |
| Change needed at Audiogon I really haven't noticed that the lame questions come from non-members moreso than members, though I probably never thought about it. I know that every time I post something for sale, within the first 12 hours I'll get at least a couple and maybe ... | |
| Innaugural DVD Harrison Ford in "Air Force One" or Sean Connery / Nicholas Cage in "The Rock". Terminator 2 is great to show off a system as well, but that would be sci-fi. "Black Hawk Down" is a real work-out for a HT, but is probably a bit too depressing for s... | |
| Songs that you just have to sing I was driving to dinner tonight and thought of American Pie - Angela beat me to the punch - definitely the longest sing-along I can think of.FreebirdC'mon Baby Light My Fire. | |
| How have your tastes changed? Grown - I don't have 6,000 albums, but I think Albert has a few years on me so I have time to catch up. His last sentence sums it up perfectly - so much great music, so little time. -Kirk | |

| If you had to completely replace your collection.. Assuming the insurance payment came through, I'd replace about 75% fairly directly, with the 25% I didn't replace being that which I'll probably never listen to again anyway. I have a complete record of all the CDs I own, so it wouldn't be too tim... | |
| Still cnfusd about upgrdg 4 bettr music reprductn Part of the answer is how "complicated" a setup are you willing to deal with - how many boxes, how it's cabled, how much "configuration" you have to switch to go from movies to music and vice versa.The most straightforward setup that would still g... | |

| pass aleph 1.2-speakers to pair w/; 4-6,000 How about a used pair of Dunlavy SC-IV/a's? They're big, but you appear to have the room. Widely reviewed in glowing terms and easy to get for your price range. I've heard them at a dealer, but have never owned them, mainly because of their size. ... |
