| Do posters intend to hurt the feelings of other members? I don’t think anyone intends to hurt anyone’s feeling. I actually appreciate point blank honesty. This in return allows me to trust the group more to insure a dealer is not using this forum to sell their gear. Some of these point blank statemen... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? I continue to be amazed by the knowledge of this group.i wonder why the group does not talk about master setting speakers. One of our local dealers demonstrated the art of master set. He demonstrated this in one of his listening room. When he m... | |
| Thinking about buying new speakers....the Elac Uni Fi5 towers or the Klipsch hersery lll Neither of these are audiophile quality. Save up your money and buy a pair of either Vienna Acoustic’s or SALK speakers. If you do, you won’t need to buy new ones later. | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? I would add a pair of REL T/9i's. I listened to the Focal Aria line and I kept asking myself where is the bass. I also asked myself if audiophiles do not like bass in general. Even their largest 948 aria speaker lacked in bass extension. Addin... | |
| An encounter and lesson in speaker prices ... You lost me. How can you determine whether the speakers are connected to an amp out of phase. | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? He never said if he owns them or if he is just knocking them. If he owns them, he must have heard them before he purchased them and the only person he can blame is himself for doing so. I just loved his tacky looking listening room. He should n... | |
| Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests I think we need to remind ourselves this is a forum for us all to learn by. I am new to this hobby and have lots to learn. I am grateful all of the discussions, as I have and continue to learn more about what makes sound as close to perfect as p... | |
| Speaker Width? What kind of speakers are they. Wasn’t able to view picture of your room. Need to move them closer together. 8’ to 9’ apart and move them forward from wall. Call Mark Kreckler at Soundings in Denver. He is an expert on master setting speakers... | |
| VIENNA ACOUSTICS- DIE MUSIC Soundings in Denver, Colorado would be my first choice. They specialize in Master Setting. Talk to Mark Krekler. | |
| Want to get into Analog I always thought playing vinyl creates noise and less detail compared to playing a 16 bit and 24 bit CD? If I am wrong, I would like someone to explain otherwise. Also, can you really hear a sound difference when playing a $20,000 turn table? W... | |
| Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers? I think the answer would be for manufactures to set up a consignment store containing 10 speaker lines with low, middle and high end models so customers can listen to them. Along with that, add electronic manufactures to show case their amplifier... | |
| Does this exist? Preamp/Streamer/DAC with MQA, Roon and more Have you looked at an ARCAM AVR550? I would a Blue Note to stream MQA. | |
| We are buying and reviewing gear all wrong I think one of the biggest problems when selecting speakers and electronic equipment is you are not able to listen to this gear in your home. You spend $ thousands, get it home and it sounds harsh or simply does not sound anything like what you h... | |
| Full Range under $5k-ish Dep 14 I agree with you.I heard a pair of Salk Song3 Encore's at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest last October and thought they were one of the best speakers at the show. At a cost of $6,000/pair they crushed a pair of $60,000 speakers I listened to... | |
| The Science of Cables I have read some articles that said high end speaker cables are like smoke and mirrors. Wouldn't you get much better results by using the extra $5,000 on something like a better amplifier or better pair of speakers. If you were thinking about us... |
