| Speaker Management Systems I've read good things about XTA while fumbling around on the web. In what ways would I find the XTA 224 superior to my other options? | |
| Best JBL's you have heard Here's what I did with my L-200s. I read somewhere that the weak link in that speaker was the horn so I got a better one - much better.http://www.acoustichorn.com/testimonials/files/BIGtom1.jpg.jpg | |
| JRDG Capri vs. Parasound JC-1 I have the Rowland Capri now and I am using it with the Rowland 102 amplifierso I'm assuming that matchup is appropriate. As for speakers, my horns are driven by B&C DCX 50 compression drivers with 8 ohm impedance and my woofers are driven by ... | |
| How does one get off the merry-go-round? It's all predicated on the immature fear that we are missing something. Is there more to be had? Can I make it all mo betta? It's like striving for a higher high and needing to perpetually "up the dose". No wonder it feels addictive and no wonder ... | |
| Is Hi-fi getting more expensive? The reason that audio manufacturers all want to offer a Statement piece for a bazillion dollars is the same reason why people went to Sutter's Mill, buy lottery tickets or recorded anybody who had a band in the sixties. They all want to strike it ... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Yes, Guido, SOURCING. None of the parts in a Rowland product are manufactured in house, although many are dedicated designs made to Rowland spec. They can't complete a product until all of the sources fill their orders.My kingdom for a horse.....I... | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre I just got off the phone with Kelly @ JRDG. Corus is without a certain launch date as yet. Parts supply is one holdup. Anticipate no more than 90 days till launch but sourcing is the variable. | |
| Good Sounding Speaker that Won't Attract Thieves? Aside from us, nobody buys anything that won't fit in their pocket these days. Big, heavy speakers would be the answer if you're really worried about it. | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers There is no formula, period. Figure out what works for you. It might be a brand new $200,000 horn speaker system with $1500 used integrated. On the other hand, you might find unbelievable results with $500 worth of used Spicas with a new Ongaku. M... | |
| Rowland model 5 vs Threshold S500 series II I've known Jeff Rowland for 30 years and I've owned many pieces of his gear, new and old. Seldom have I ever needed repair but the service I received was quick and free of hesitation or excuses. Jeff stands behind everything he ever made. You may ... | |
| Best Song Intro Long, Cool Woman in a Black Dress by The Hollies. I love the way it announces itself. Have you noticed Spencer Davis intros show up in TV ads quite often? | |
| Underappreciated components. Bill Woods Horns. | |
| New Rowland Criterion 2-chassis battery pre Love the one you're with. Corus anticipation could be a lengthy process. And it will only lead to the next anticipation. This thing is like climbing an endless stairway. It's just a series of plateaus that you die anticipating....... | |
| Buy LED, LCD or Plasma You probably need to use HDMI outputs of TV to an inexpensive receiver with HDMI in. Then get some kind of very coherent horns and sit back 12 feet or more and enjoy real movie theater sound. I passed on the S series due to lack of analog audio ou... | |
| Buy LED, LCD or Plasma On Audio Circle a guy named Joshk tells of anchoring his 58 inch panny plasma into bricks above his fireplace. The whole mess crashed and was destroyed. He's selling a large, high dollar swivel mount at a big discount if you are interested. By the... |
