| quasi-omni, cheap speakers for a friend's new barn "i am sure his barn will get frigidly cold on winter nights when not in use."Buy used but in good working order on ebay then and don't pay too much. If/when the weather takes its toll, move on.FWIW I use a pair of standard issue wood cabinet Reali... | |
| quasi-omni, cheap speakers for a friend's new barn If you can figure a way to do it, I'd pick up a pair of small older Ohm Walsh 1s or 2s on ebay and suspend them upside down and add a sub if needed.They will sound fantastic in a big open barn. I had mine in a similar large open environment once f... | |

| Avantgarde Duos - right for me? BTW, if I could afford another pair of speaks and had another room big enough, I would love to audition a pair of Avantgardes to add to my collection! | |
| Most Rockingest Preamp south of $2k used Tholt,Yes, but I think I would want those things for other forms of music as well even if everything may not be as important for specific works or genres | |
| Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time? Its definitely not overrated in terms of its impact and influence at time and in terms of the innovative aspect of its production I suppose.But I've personally always felt that SPLHCB then took things to a new level of overall success.
