| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll Actually some of us view "low ballers will be cheerfully ignored" as just plain rude. Its also an indication the seller has no problem dismissing someone arbitrarily or dealing with them in a less than friendly manner. I would think this would be ... | |
| High End Audio Dealers of dealers varied tremendously. I probably visted 6 different dealers throughout the tri-state area. Of the 6, I would only say 2 were exceptional with the remaining being okay to poor. I eliminated a few brands right off the bat b/c the local dea... | |
| Anyone pay 1st price, Even if it's fair ? Poll Probably half the items I have sold have been at my asking price, while the others were still in my low range estimate. I try to list them at a price which I think reflects their value. Some items have sold really quickly & I wonder if I liste... | |
| Thoughts on my speaker search...kind of long...... Actually, I think you can tell a speakers general characteristics fairly easy. I agree system components, room, cables play a large role, but some of the reviews were just out there. I think reviews are relevant when you have you have some history... | |
| Thoughts on my speaker search...kind of long...... I agree about the room acoustics and treatments. I went that route previously, trying to improve my old speakers' performance in my room. It worked to some extent, but ultimately those speakers were not a good fit in my room. I would also say that... | |
| BPT Power Conditioner I found the bigest difference on the video side. I needed to reset all of my set's parameters. Blacks were deeper and the overall PQ was better. In terms of audio, I found the differences to be more subtle with a slightly lower noise floor and sli... | |
| Paradigm Signature S4: Any info please Personally, the Sig 4 were not my cup of tea and I knew it immediately. I was listening to them in comparsion to Linn Espek and JM Lab 927. I prefered the Linn's and JM Labs to the Paradigms.In my opinion, the Paradigm's looked great & did wel... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I will probabaly be using this room for quite a while. I like the idea of going active, albeit it might be overkill for the room. I would also need to use a smaller center, C4a. Since I already know I like the overall sound of the speaker (passive... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I have receive a lot a good advice over the weeks and it is very much appreciated. D_edwards - your advice has been great & I can relate to the comparisons. Our conversation got me thinking & has brougt up some additional questions. Feedba... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I heard the two JM Labs today against two Linn models. Both nice, but different. I could probably live with either, but prefered the JM Labs. The JM Labs seemed more open with more inner detail. The midrange and lower bass was great. The tweeter w... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback The ATCs have really captivated me. I still want to try the 35's in my room, albeit I think the 20's are a better fit. I heard them early in the speaker search & I really want to know this is going to be a speaker that I will want to keep for ... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback Well, I finally heard the Spendors & came away disappointed. Based on reviews & user comments, I thought this would be a good speaker for me. I liked the tonal balanced, but just too soft & polite for my taste. I wanted more air, dynam... | |
| Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback I tried the Dynaudio Contours 1.4 two separate times. Neither time was ideal. The first, they were connected with Adcom gear in a large room and the vocals seem very forward. The second time in a smaller room with Ayre gear it was a nicer presenta... | |
| Bookshelf spkrs revisited -Spendor/Dynaudio/FA thank you for the responses. Based on some feedback I tried 3 different ATC speakers and came away pretty impressed. I also had a chance to hear the Contours again. They sounded much better with different equipment. It was a nice sound, but I thin... | |
| CDP at $1200- 2000 for this system I would suggest either a Cary 303 or Ayre cx-7. They are both really good players with their own virtues.The Cary has a great midrange & bass signature that provides a slightly warmer than neutral presentation. The upper-end is good, but proba... |
