Good piece several years back in Consumer's Report about sizing a screen to your room and distance from screen. The primary thing I picked up about too big is that you can have di... | |
| Are You Old Enough to Remember Those Jaw-Dropping Manufacturer Demos? Although not jaw-dropping in a "trickery" sense, two things stand out in my mind. These both occurred in the late 70's or early 80's Those were the glory days when good stereo stores were plentiful in most metro areas. I was in Kansas City at the ... | |
| My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf +1 one on the KEF's. Close to your budget, might even consider the Blade two. If you go with the LS60, based on room size, you may not need a sub. If you do, The KC series look nice. I've not heard but it would stay with the "house" sound. | |

| Replacing Capacitors, I Don’t Wanna! My amps are fine but when my A/C quit cooling on a 90+ degree day last week I was not a happy camper. Fortunately, I'm on a priority status with my HVAC vender so I received same day service. Good/bad news, competent tech who quickly found a swoll... | |
| Creativity on artists I dislike @shtinkydog You hit a lot of them that I've thought about for years. One of mine is Bloaty and the Who fish. | |
| What to do/ Bad part of a D.J.'s collection is the abuse that most of records have probably suffered. All the handling and back cueing (depending on what he played) may have hurt them. | |
| Add a subwoofer? I second the HSU's. Good value for dollars spent. Take a visit to their website. The also answer their phone and talk to you. | |
| Where Do I Go from Here? I don't know how large your retirement savings are, but I would (personally) be hesitant to spend that kind of money unless it is chump change to you. I am approaching my 77th birthday and have a pretty decent retirement nest egg. To me, there are... | |
| AI-Written Stereophile Articles AI is only a bandage for a slow decay in our education system. My wife is a graduate of one of the more better (see what I did there) journalism schools in the country. She has both taught English and worked for major associations as a writer/edit... | |
