| Catastrophic Accident! What To Do!? I agree with highway 61. There has got to have been issues with your amp for years if you have had to replace so many fuses. This would have indicated problems after the second one went out. There has got to be a short somewhere that has caused... | |
| Speaker suggestions I can't imagine how you will be able to buy an audiophile speaker for $3,000. I would encourage you to buy the SALK Song3 Encores at $6,000 a pair. Jim Salk also makes a smaller speaker priced at $4,500. Since he sells direct, he uses the best ... | |
| Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns I am a novice entering the audiophile world. This said, I don't know how upgrading and spending so much money on speaker cables can make that much of a difference in sound. I wonder if someone could explain this to me, as I have read several art... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers Since it takes more power to drive bass drivers, I wonder why all speakers are not built with a built in amplifier. If that were the case wouldn't you just need to deliver a pure signal and allow the on board amplifiers to generate the sound? Wo... | |
| Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels I wonder why Magico A3 speakers us a soft tweeter as opposed to using a beryllium tweeter. Vienna Acoustics also does the same, | |
| What do you mean you “heard” the turntable I don't understand the attraction of vinyl. Compared to digital, you only hear a fraction of the detail. I also can't believe you can hear any difference between a $500 turn table verses a $20,000 turn table. I thought the difference is in the ... | |
| Back to the drawing board I feel most people do not understand REL's technology. I listened to a pair of Vienna Acoustic Mozart's at Soundings paired with one REL S3. When he unplugged the S3, I was unable to hear much of a difference. Then he asked me what did I notice... | |
| What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker? Try a master set. This will help everything. Also, add a pair REL’s. | |
| Why so many used focals? That’s because they are horrible speakers.Their company moto should be, “where’s the gas’s.” | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience I meant to tell you to ditch the Marantz. Need to explore ARCAM or Parsound Halo. | |
| Used Market Savings vs. The Dealer Experience You need to listen to a pair of SALK Song3 Encore's. Jim Salk sells direct and as a result is able to afford to use the best drivers he can for a given price range. I heard these at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest last October. They sell for $6,0... | |
| I’m pretty sure I’ve lost my mind... Can you really hear much difference between speaker cables costing $240 to those costing $1,000 to $5,000? I have read a few articles where they have said spending this kind of money on cables is a waste of money because they were not able to hea... | |
| Higher Efficiency Speakers I would recommend the SALK Song3 Encore's priced at $6,000. Jim Salk sells direct and can afford to use the best drivers. Incredible sound. They sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers I heard at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest this past O... | |
| My initial impressions of ZU Mission (MK1) speaker cables. I have a difficult time believing expensive speaker cables really sound significantly better. I have read articles where they have said they are not worth the money, I feel money is better spent purchasing a better amplifier/receiver and speaker... | |
| beginner seperate system I looked at purchasing the Focal Aria 948's and I kept asking the dealer, "WHERE'S THE BASS." I am sure your subwoofers were able to give the added bass extension they needed. I did like the tweeters and mid drivers, as they were very musical. ... |
