| Adding a second MC275 VI, is it worth it? Why do you think more power might allow you to listen at lower levels? | |
| Amp improvement since 1994? it seems evident that good SS amps have gotten better, and do not sound quite as harsh as they used to; but what about tube amps? Have they really "improved"? | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? "Lloyd, did you audition or purchase her?"Purchased. Still paying. No resale value.The audition was under deceptive "show" conditions. As is often recommended here, an in-home audition, with your existing system, is required to identify and avoid ... | |
| Your most disappointing purchase or audition? my ex-wife. | |
| Repair worth it? neither one is worth spending money to fix. not high end decks. | |
| High End Audio-Gaining Higher Ground? It's over. We are the last of a dying breed. | |
| two way v. three way speakers a 2-way has a simpler crossover. That can more than compensate for the benefits of a 3-way, especially in a smaller room, where you don't need to move much air. | |

| Help - Listening fatigue you need a tube amp and different speakers. | |
| PMC OB1i feedback I really enjoy my FB1i Signature speakers, but you have to move up to at least the OB1 to get the PMC dome midrange, which is part of pmc's "claim to fame" - but then you have a 3-way crossover. Without the more complex crossover, the FB1i is more... | |
| My most memorable ROCK moment Stevie Ray Vaughan at Fitzgerald's, in Houston. If your standard for "great" is arena rock, you missed the boat. There is no way a great player can really stretch out in an arena. Many times I heard Albert Collins, Lightin' Hopkins, BB King, John ... | |
| Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen? Waterford makes an excellent ballpoint, nice and heavy, takes a Parker refill. | |
| Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green Bonamassa? You guys need to get out more. |
