| Primaluna & Klipsch Cornwall frustration HELP I use a Primaluna Dialogue 2 with my Cornwalls, and it is a fantastic combo. You definitely do not need more power - I often use the 21watt per channel setting on my amp, and there is absolutely no lack of bass - that amount is more than enough po... | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio Very well put, Frogman! | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio Thanks for the clarification, Newbee. As I said in my previous post, in a concert hall, you should be able to close your eyes and still listen and be able to tell where different instruments are located on the stage. It may be slightly easier to d... | |
| Should i have my Harmon Kardon repaired or replace As Theo said, your repair bill may be just about as much as buying something new. However, it also may not - you might have someone look at it and give you an estimate? Especially if you like the sound of it. | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio @Bdp24 - your comments are not surprising at all to me. Your priority as a musician is to get as "real" a sound as possible. This is simply not the priority of the vast majority of recording engineers. Also, you were using just a couple of mikes w... | |
| Disturbing "Sonic Trend" showing up on SOTA audio Very interesting thread. I think Schubert and Frogman have the best posts. Most people simply do not listen to live, unamplified music anymore. This does NOT invalidate that as the best standard, however, for the reasons they state. IMO, the most ... | |
| Good, basic receiver for $500 or so? Harmon Kardon always used to have some of the very best receivers in that range. I was very happy with the one I used to use. Haven't used one in several years now though, but I doubt they have fallen off the map. | |
| Jazz for aficionados Has this thread died? It recently disappeared from my list, and I had some trouble finding it. I am surprised that O-10 and Rok have not kept it going! Anyway, I was just going to share with you guys who don't believe that a great many classical m... | |
| Early Music aka Historically Informed Music Hi Schubert - not sure many in the industry would put Minnesota in the top 10 in the US right now, especially with the great players who were able to leave during that ridiculous lockout. They might still be top 15, though. LA is most certainly in... | |
| Klipsch heresy questions Yes, the Heresy speakers will be a major step up. I went from a pair of Cerwin Vega's to the Klipsch Cornwalls myself. You do not need a whole lot of power to drive them, as the first responder said. If you do have a SS amp, you just won't want to... | |
| Early Music aka Historically Informed Music There is indeed a thriving early music scene in Pittsburgh and Cleveland both, as well as pretty much every other major musical center in the US. The Pittsburgh Symphony is one of the very best in the nation now, as well, easily in the top five, a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi Orpheus - yes, I have seen that film, it's a good one, and of course a great soundtrack. I think we perhaps may have discussed it on this thread a long time ago?? | |
| Jazz for aficionados Hi guys - saw this article this morning and thought you would be interested:http://billplakemusic.org/2011/08/03/the-beginning-jazz-improvisers-biggest-mistake/ | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers I would say stick to tubes. However, this reminds me of a funny thread once where someone asked tube lovers that if a gun were held to their head and they had to listen to a solid state amp, the overwhelming choice was Naim. My brother has one, an... | |
| Best Karmina Burana performance There is a great one from the 80s by Ricardo Chailly, I think with a German orchestra, don't remember the label. But it is an excellent performance. |
