Bass- at what frequency does it change from sounding like a string to just a low tone?
jon_5912. This is what KEF seems to be doing. My R3 Metas don't have impressive low frequency specs but they seem to take good advantage of room gain.

I guess it was supposed to be a big money maker. Give it a paint job and double the price. What could go wrong?

At the level of equipment I use, what matters most to me is if I can discern actual notes instead of just low rumbles and thumps. One of my go to sound tracks for bass is One od Emmylou Harris's more obscure albums called "Thirteen". She does her ...

Hopefully, final update. First of all, thanks to everyone who took the time to read and reply to my concerns. As I stated earlier, I came across a no cash exchange where I traded a nonfunctioning Yamaha CR2020 receiver and a couple of other piece...

Vacuum Tube Testing Services?
When I was in high school, I worked in grocery store. We had a tube tester with a tube cabinet. Back in those dark ages, many stores of all kinds had tube tester cabinets. When the TV went on the fritz, people would pull all the tubes and put the...

Another "Best" amplifier Question.
Hooked up the M80 this afternoon and running it off my Bluesound Node. All I can say right now is WOW! Dialed up Amazon Ultra HD and played "My Father's house" by Emmylou Harris and "Ballad of the Runaway horse" by Jennifer Warnes. The depth and p... 
Looking for a great set of Wired Headphones
Anything Sennheiser in the 5-6 line. HD580,600 and 650. HiFi Man Ananda when they go on sale as open box can usually be found at the top of your range. Those are from my personal experience. Trying not to dog but, it doesn't take much to better th...

Another "Best" amplifier Question.
Half way there! So, I made my trip to divest myself of old stuff from the basement. Good or bad, here is the outcome. I traded my non-working Yamaha CR2020 receiver and a pair of KEF Q300 speakers plus a few box store grade items for a Yamaha M80... 
Another "Best" amplifier Question.
Like the looks and specs of the Buckeyamp. Some unease due to short time in market. Looks like a one man show. Interestingly, he’s also a cable denier. Re: Marantz 30. Very much on my radar now. Stereophile class A, mm/mc phono input (variable). ... 
Hearing protection and Music
You may be expecting too much. I use Sennheiser Momentum when I mow or use my gas powered trimmer. They are adequate for that noise level but you certainly can’t expect high fidelity. I would equate it to listening to the radio while driving on th...
