| I want to be moved and have the music touch my soul! I wonder why I now have to log in to respond? Never had to do this before.Based on the discussion, I think you might want to wait and save up for some high quality audiophile speakers. I would definitely look at the SALK line. The Song3 Encore'... | |
| Will a subwoofer add depth and clarity to my system, or just bass? You have all lost me. Guess I need to get a sound engineering degree to understand. Wonder how you all learned this? | |
| The Science of Cables Can you honestly hear the difference? I would be curious to do a blind test on cables costing $250 to $10,000 and see if you can hear the difference. The question is how much better for every $100 spent. I would think you would be better off bu... | |
| Looking for speaker recommendations I am surprised someone mentioned the B&W's. I listened to a pair of the 804's and still wondered where's the bass. I would definitely stay away from the Focal Arias. Even the 948 is weak in the bass extension. The SALK Song3 Encore's price... | |
| Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash I think all speakers should be sold direct. The retailers who sell them usually carry one or two low end speakers for a line and you can't demo them anyway. This is called imagine how they sound by looking at a picture.Jim Salk with SALK audio t... | |
| 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... |
