| Revel F30, Dyn 1.8/3.0, V.A. Beethoven? I agree with Joekras - I would expect anyone who seriously auditioned the Revels and the Dyn's to have a clear favorite (though I could imagine somebody loving both).Regarding x-overs, I'm definitely not an expert. I have read several places that ... | |
| Revel F30, Dyn 1.8/3.0, V.A. Beethoven? If you're going through a dealer and looking at speakers in this price range, you should be able to get a home audition of anything you're serious about and, as everyone will tell you, that's what you really want and need for this type of decision... | |
| Anybody dealt with HigherFi.com? They advertise a bunch on rec.audio.marketplace. I've never done business with them, but if these are all one and the same person / business, they've been around quite a while. | |
| Musical Fidelity HT600? It's reviewed along with the matching pre/pro in the current SGHT - you might want to check that out. -Kirk | |
| Preamp strategy advice for 2 ch. HT First off, you'll definitely love going from the 2.5i's to the 2.9's, especially driving them from the Bryston - I made the same upgrade once. The 2.9's are an excellent speaker, IMO, and a really great choice for a combo HT/music system.As for th... | |
| HAPA--from hawaii...anyone know it? Go check out their entry on AMG - www.allmusic.com. Complete discography, etc. -Kirk | |
| Bi-Amp or Upgrade to larger amp??? Is bi-amping even supported by the 3.3's? I own the 3.0's and they just have a single pair of binding posts per speaker.In any case, you'll get greatly improved performance by giving the Dyn's more juice. -Kirk | |
| Sunfire Theater Grand ll I don't have any personal experience with the Sunfire unit, but have read several very positive reviews and can't imagine it's not at least "good" with 2ch music. I think it's when you want it to be "great" that you might run into problems. "Great... | |
| Will Internet Distroy High End ? I think the Internet will undoubtedly greatly affect the High-end - whether it destroys it or just changes it is for the high-end to decide. I see manufacturers decrying the influence of the internet and completely rejecting it and I think, "you'r... | |
| CD recorder advice sought A CD burner for the computer has the added advantage of being able to verify that the copy is identical. | |
| How much are you worth ? Let's see - steady income, 401k, my own half-assed attempts at investing coupled with the recent state of the stock market, all offset by two teenage kids, a non-deterministic set of costs associated for advanced education for them, a non-income-p... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low I agree - there are many who ridicule Sound & Vision which is typically of much more "affordable" gear. If Stereophile reviewed considerably more pieces that were "affordable", I think they'd lose a lot of readership. To me, they review a lot ... | |
| Lexicon MC12 I don't believe it's available until at least July. Can't wait to hear it, though. | |

| Priorities, who makes the rules anyway? Rule 1 with cars - DON'T test drive unless you want to be convinced to buy. In fact, I recommend that you don't even sit in the damn things unless you want to be coerced. As with most things, you get what you pay for. |
