| RobinTrower From your suggestions I ordered the remasrtered double CD of "Twice Removed From Yesterday/Bridge Of Sighs" and the Live King Biscuit CD. Brand new, all for less than $20 on Amazon. Vinylvin & Lasercd: Thanks for DVD update. That's exactly wha... | |
| Eggleston Works Fontaine II I love all Eggleston speakers. The whole line sounds very similar in that they all have the Dynaudio Esotar tweeters and Morel midwoofers. As you probably know, the tweeter is phenomenal and very easy to listen to. In general Eggleston's like allo... | |
| Good workout music for baby boomers Johm Lee Hooker- "The Best of Friends" and Soundgarden- "Superunknown" are my favorites. | |
| Which is more important? Amp or Preamp? Here's one alternative. Sell your Rotel seperates. Buy a decent used AV reciever ($400). Only use the amps in the reciever for the middle and surround speakers. With the money you have from the seperates and the IC's and power chords, buy a good t... | |
| Great sounding close to back wall speakers. I think Eggelestons do well close to the "back wall". It is a little confusing but I think it should be called the "front wall." Can anybody confirm this? | |
| Cheap DAC for music server and cheap CDP? I bought a Cal Labs Signa II Tube DAC on EBAY for about $200. ItÂ’s hooked up to a SPDIF out on my computer. I would say it's a significant improvement over going straight into an AV processor. I imagine a DAC like a Benchmark, etc.. might sound ev... | |
| Annie Lennox fans Thanks for the suggestions. | |
| Best bookshelf speakers for bookshelf placement Excellent question... I also have the same need. I am assuming that all rear ported speakers would be a bad choice. I saw on a thread that Rives suggested building a cabinet in the bookshelf around an in wall designed speaker. Makes sense to me. | |
| movie system I second the fact that you probably don't need a center channel. Look for a used or old stock 5.1 receiver (Marantz, Denon or Sony) and a decent subwoofer. I don't know what your current room is like and how you would wire the back speakers but on... | |
| Music Your Wife Will Really LISTEN To with you ? My wife likes the Josh Stone, "Mind Body and Soul" that I just bought. | |
| New blood needs your Amp/system advice, please. If you want to try something on the cheap, check out my NAD 2600 that's for sale. It sounds like a good fit for your power needs. Lots of good current and punch. | |
| Mark Knopfler Recommendations Try the original... JJ Cale's "JJ Cale Live" | |
| Special birthday audio gift to yourself? Turning 43 on Nov 9th. Bought myself a couple of "The Jerry Garcia Band" CD's. From the looks of the above posts, it looks like I'm short changing myself. | |
| Do you care about the LOOK??? For me, style has alot to do with the room you have to work with. Right now, my system is set up in an active living space in my house. This arrangement dictates my component make up and speaker size, and yes, style. If I had a dedicated listening... | |
| Wish list of higher quality recordings Nevermind sounds great. The drumming on some of those tracks reminds of the old TEAC advertisement when the guy is sitting in a chair in front of some speakers and he's getting "blown away" by the sound. |
