| Seeking advice for speakers for my Family Room I think you have a difficult room to work with. Your room opens up to the right with all those hard surfaces. You lose a lot of compression and lose your sound stage. Maybe install hardwood floors and put two 9x12 rugs. The timber of the room ... | |
| Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance?? So far, I thought impedance meant the same as efficiency. That is why I chose 8 ohm speakers. Not sure why someone would purchase 4 ohm speakers because wouldn't that require a more powerful amplifier? So, why then do manufacturers make 4 ohm s... | |
| How Big of a Difference? I was not a believer in speaker cables, power cords, etc. However, I worked with a very knowledgeable sales person at The Cable Company. I ended up spending $4,000 on power cables, speaker wires and digital cables. I was amazed by the sound qua... | |
| Class A into Class AB I am not sure if a class A amp produces more current? I think current is more important than watts. I have heard class A amps sound better. However, they are more expensive. A pure class A produces more heat. I think this is why manufactures ... | |
| Architectural Digest finally shows audio gear! I have two realtors send me listings of homes in my area to get a feel for real estate values in our area. I usually look at several new listings per day and I have yet to see two speakers in a room. No wonder why the dealers are hurting. Peopl... | |
| Recommendations Wanted I can't believe you are listening to music 7 feet away from your speakers? | |
| Subwoofer for music, how low? Get a pair of REL S2 SHO's. The T9's are too small. | |
| Luxman 509X, 590AXII, or Gryphon Diablo 300 for B&W 802d3 It's funny because if I were to dream of adding a 2 channel amp to my system I would pick the Luxman LX Integrated amp. It is supposed to be exceptional. If you need the name of the dealer to buy this from let me know. He can save you $ thousan... | |
| Magico A5 or KEF blade 2? I think the Rockport's sound much better than the Magico. Magico sounded sterile and thee Rockports like an instrumeent. | |
| Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver I would recommend Soundings off Belleview in the Denver Tech Center. While you are there have Jess demo their Master Set. I am going to have them do this with my system in January. Their Chario bookshelf speakers image well. | |
| How long do you or should you keep your gear. Out of curiosity, I visited one of the high end retail shops in Denver to listen to Magico speakers. I am not sure why people in this group brag about them. They sounded pretty sterile. They had a pair of Rockports sitting in the same room and ... | |

| How do you get Happy as an Audiophile? bjesien My room measures 12.2' x 18'. I have hardwood floors with a 9 x 12 Persian rug. Systems consists of ARCAM AVR550, Paradigm Prestige 85F towers, two Rell S2 SHO subwoofers, BlueSound Node 2i and OPPO 105 blue ray player. I just spent abo... | |
| Bluesound Node 2i vs Upscale streamers I wonder if I added a Luxman 905 Amp to my ARCAM AVR550 and used my ARCAM as a surround processor for TV and movies if I would hear a noticeable difference? I have always heard you get more for your money by upgrading speakers first then amp. | |
| Advice regarding streaming please. I inserted a CD in my OPPO 105 the first time in the past 2 years and I was surprised how good my system sounded. Maybe playing a CD sounds better than my BlueSound Node 2i? |
