| Best Sounding CD + dvd If you can play dts surround, the cd/dvd of Alan parsons' "A Valid Path" is astonishing in dts!! | |
| The most haunting music you ever heard? I nominate "Ghost in the wind" by Richard Thompson. Especially the cut on his dvd "Live in Austin" | |
| Beatles covers: better than originals? In the Boston area there's a band named "Beatlejuice" that was headed up by Brad Delp ( of "Boston" fame). Great covers live. You could close your eyes and swear you were listening to the Beatles live, right there. They are still giving limited pe... | |
| What's your favorite remake of a song Blinded by the Light and Spirits in the Night by Springsteen and covered by Manfred Manns Earth Band. Manfred has covered several songs like The Mighty Quinn, Shelter from the Storm, Play with Fire (Stones) etc. My opinion the best cover band out ... | |
| Best short-lived band? Buffalo SpringfieldSeatrainJoy of Cooking | |
| Please suggest serene, restful jazz recordings Check out Michael Hedge's "Aerial Boundaries" and Kitaro's "Silk Road" Vangelis's "Antarctica" is also very good. | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... tbg-- Your assumption that those who enjoy multichannel over 2 ch because their systems are low resolving with poor speakers is way off base. I for one have a pretty decent system (full range Apogee speakers all around driven by quality electronic... | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... Distortion mostly. It could be in the mixing/mastering, but it's in every SACD I have. The best of the bunch is the Stones Sympathy for thr Devil. I cannot speak for classical or most jazz but in the other genres it's there. I pointed this out to ... | |
| MultiChannel too complicated for most... Eldartford,I definately agree with you on the great sound of multichannel. Been listening in one form or another since 1971. However, cannot agree that matrix isn't effective. I use matrix for all my 2 channel sources and it sounds great. I have a... | |
| Which Recordings Have Widest Soundstage Recordings using the "Q" sound such as "Amused to Death" by Roger Waters is one example. | |
| Compare Large Advent? For Moes Pizza,Followup--You want the Large Advent. There's an Advent/1 but I don't think it's the same. Also, after you set up the Advents, remove the grill cloths!!! They get in the way of the music. If you haven't done that yet, try it--cleaner... | |
| Compare Large Advent? Most likely that Henry Kloss wasn't into the design at that time. The Large Advent was and still is the cream of the crop. When you get your second pair stack them with the tweeters close together (tweeter on top of the bottom speaker-tweeter on t... | |
| Sunfire CRM-2 Ribbon Monitors-any good for 2 chann I'd check out the Apogee monitors listed here on AGon for $500 a pair. They have a good sound and should go well with a sub. They have a 4" ribbon and a 6 1/2 in woofer. The ribbon rotates, so they can stand vertically or on their sides. | |
| Replacing crossover in Apogee Centaur Majors? Go to apogeeribbons.com. Graz can be of help.You can also purchase the ribbons there. Possibly, xovers too. | |
| region 1 or pal, better picture? I have a couple of pal dvds and the pictures are pretty clear as compared to some of the NTSC ones I have. I'm sure that picture quality will vary between variuos dvds. |
