| What speakers? I replaced a pair of larger Maggies with Ohms for similar reasons. If you like full scale classical or other large scale recordings with realistic dynamic range, low end extension, and impact, along with the imaging, detail, and sound stage, monit... | |
| Those simpler times..... I would move to a log cabin in the mountains and live with no luxuries or modern conveniences...except my system and music has to come with me. And I'm not willing to downgrade either..... | |
| Question Of Balance - The Moody Blues I've always found the mellotron to be a fascinating instrument. There is a lot of good information available on it on the net for anybody interested. Not too many around anymore as I understand it and they are seldom ever seen in live performances... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Thanks Pauly. They sound fabulous.. Enjoy! | |
| Question Of Balance - The Moody Blues Timrhu,Thanks for the kind words. I'll see what I can do. This is fun!I have a couple of reviews of Moody albums and a few other progressive rock titles that focus more on the art than the sound already on progarchives.com if anyone is interested.... | |
| Question Of Balance - The Moody Blues Xiekitchen,Agree on Seventh Sojourn.Pinder actually used a related instrument called a Chamberlin on Seventh Sojourn for the first time, not a mellotron. Can't recall the details but it was supposedly an improvement on the mellotron, both from a s... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? pauly,Read your review.They sound fabulous. The top/bottom loaded design seems perfect for big soundstage and impact.Do they work best close or near to the rear wall and out from the corners? | |

| Review: Ohm Acoustics Walsh 5 Series 3 Speaker I wanted to share some tips based on some recent experience.The Ohms are fairly easy to locate compared to most designs, however I have found that optimal placement achieved via critical listening and experimentation with location is critical to a... | |
| Days of Future Passed - The Moody Blues Jaybo,The dynamics at the beginning of "Peak Hour" startled me and nearly knocked me out of my seat, even though I thought I knew what was coming. Haven't had that happen in a while!Also, the big, long, isolated gong shot that fades to silence eve... | |
| Tube amp for "difficult" speakers,,, Jaybo is without doubt a "voice of reason" when it comes to giving good equipment its due rather than mining for perceived shortcomings. | |
| DAC as an upgrade Istanbulu,Shades of Machina Dynamica! | |
| Transistor Preamp that sounds like a Tube Preamp? Asa, I would consider a tube pre-amp perhaps when the time comes to upgrade, but I am not even close to considering a tube power amp at this point.IS the Shindo pre a tube unit?Also I have no idea what an "Auditorium trannie" is? |
