| Sub to complement KEF LS50s: SVS vs. Rythmik I use this sub with my ls50s. 8" active driver and 2 8" passive design. matches well to the ls50s and delivers a lot of bang out of a smaller package than most. Highly recommended especially if space is a consideration. https://www.klipsch.c... | |
| I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong Yup I'm with Mr. Creed as well. | |
| My expert tips on building a sensible world class audio system. True fact that I've had a pair of those Realistic Minimus 7s running out on my deck now for many years. Very good little legendary Radio Shack speakers that sold for $100 pair in their day. They run off the same amps as my main system (via spe... | |
| What equipment upgrades or tweaks will improve the sound of drums? Don’t know where the OP is, but its safe to bet that, even with a sub, if those small speakers, about the size of kef ls50s, are not in a small room like what they were designed to be in, its a very bad bet that tweaks alone will do much other tha... | |
| What equipment upgrades or tweaks will improve the sound of drums? How big is the room? How big is the sub? Specific model would help. Enjoyed Rocket Man but I too missed that his classic band got no mention.Any specific tracks you are looking to deliver the percussion better with? | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? I want what is in the recording. If its a live recording then take me there. | |

| Your reference system? To me a reference system is one I have heard that is worth trying to emulate. | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work The light travels really fast and it all arrives at the sensor at the same time so there is no problem except that Geoff needs to sell stuff. | |
| What are you streaming tonight? Dream Theater really have at a handful of classic rock gems live on the "A Change Of Seasons" CD. They do justice to Elton John, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin and others. Really good stuff! | |
| Your reference system? Details please. What’s in those current reference systems?Thanks. | |
| Your reference system? My current system is my current reference as well. ARC sp16 pre-amp->Bel Canto Ref 1000m amps-> OHM F5 series 3 speakers.Sources are Linn Axis table with Denon DL103R cart, Logitech Squeezebox Touch -> mhdt Constantine DAC or on occasion ... | |
| What are you streaming tonight? "A Change of Seasons" by Dream Theatre. | |
| Why No McIntosh Recommendations? McIntosh has fine products. The trademark looks and bling is a big part of the appeal. Lots of robust competition for the asking price these days compared to many years ago where much of the competition was Made in Japan. BTW those vintage made in... | |
| Theoretical question about how CD's work Geoffkait actually you are clearly the skeptic here. Don’t be such a sad sack! Why don’t you write a book and enlighten the world further then smart guy? I’m sure there are enough neurotics out there you can appeal to to make it a big seller and h... |
