| Klipsch Heresy IV Having heard the Heresy IVs, and assuming the new JBL have similar character as their classic ancestors, which one prefers would largely come down to personal preference, though Klipsch are inherently more tube amp friendly and efficient by design... | |
| Bob Dylan - "Murder Most Foul" The Rolling Stone review asserts MMF is an attempt by Dylan to highlight the therapeutic value of all kinds of music during difficult times at yet another time currently when people need it.Very insightful and I’ll buy that! Something that folks i... | |
| Outdoor Garage Speakers The Realistic Minimus 7s out on my deck finally died after 20+ years out there. Billy Joel was right, I got more mileage from a cheap pair of speakers!Will be replacing soon with Polk Atrium 6...lot’s of good reviews and had for a very good price... | |
| Getting it on with Prog Yup Passport label as I recall. Mine was picked up in the $1.99 budget bin (lots of Passport there) at Cheap Thrills REcords in New Brunswick, NJ circa 1979 or so. | |
| Getting it on with Prog It would be a stretch to consider a Japanese band "Canterbury" but I read there is similarities to Soft Machine. | |
| Getting it on with Prog Fireballet...now that’s one I wish I still had. Gotta look for that on Spotify.Still have all the VDGG, Nektar, and various others.Been picking up on Dream Theater somewhat in recent years. Spocks Beard does a nice and interesting cover of George ... | |
| Bob Dylan - "Murder Most Foul" Hmm well the song is very tastefully done, very understated but lovely musically and there is enough lyrical content to easily make all the way through. Not an easy task to pull off. I guess that’s why he’s Bob Dylan. | |
| Roon's update sounds really good Wireless works Just fine as long as there is sufficient bandwidth. | |

| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms a well energized, spectrally-correct reverberant field actually enhances the clarity of complex musicThat's it exactly. | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Duke another thing relating to what you said regarding the Ohms is that they opt to use a conventional tweeter normally angled in 45 degrees rather than attempt to reproduce the top end (higher frequencies are inherently more directional) omnidire... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Note that Ohm Walsh are not full but rather pseudo omni (polydirectional?) to manage the reverberative field better in most rooms. The driver is physically attenuated with absorbing material inside the can in the wall facing directions. | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Good points by Duke. I have honestly been of the opinion since my first encounters with Ohm Walsh speakers many years ago that more omnidirectional speakers do things right and others are inherently flawed in design.Omnis radiate sound in a patter... | |
| Bob Dylan - "Murder Most Foul" Interesting piece. The music is just there for accompaniment obviously. Not quite sure what to make of it or why released now of all times. I’m sure there is a reason. The insinuation seems to be that something sinister showed its face back then a... | |
| Speakers that sound great in terrible rooms Ohm Walsh are always a good choice in general IMHO regardless of room acoustics, more so than more directional designs. |
