| The 70’s are back I've heard the Forte IIIs and they are very good with even very modest SS amplification. They really excel at allowing individual recordings to sound unique FBOFW. No sugar coatings! | |
| The 70’s are back We sold the old JBL 100s at Tech Hifi. I preferred all the Ohm speakers of the time that competed with those starting with Ohm L for $400 pair, C2, and H for $800. The C2s were most comparable and the Hs much better. JBL always had muddy bass and ... | |
| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? Currently I have 2 Walsh models one generation older than the current line. Refurbed Walsh 2 cabinets with 100 8" driver and refurbed Ohm F cabinets with 5 12" driver. Also my original Ohm Ls that I uograded myself. 1000s are latest and greatest w... | |

| Replace Revel Ultima Studio with Magneplanar 3.7i (???) The best Magnepan set ups I've heard have them 1/3 or more into the room and away from side walls. The best was at Jim Smith's old Audition store in Birmingham Alabama. My friend and I both bought a pair on the spot that day. | |

| Replace Revel Ultima Studio with Magneplanar 3.7i (???) Totally different. Always do your homework first. Nobody can tell you what you will like best. | |
| Someone please "(do) get me started" Most of his albums are available on Spotify. I’ll be exploring many of them in the very near future.He experimented with various music genres so its hard to say where any particular person with particular interests should start but an easy approac... | |

| Play music from laptop over WiFi to existing audio system: how? It is wild that one can do this correctly and cost effectively so many ways using the right software on the right general purpose computing devices or buy expensive dedicated devices designed just for streaming that can cost so much more. I’ve fou... | |
| Digital integrated alternatives to SET tube system Hmm well FWIW I was considering trying a SET or similar tube integrated and high efficiency speakers in my second system but decided to give the latest and greatest Digital Integrated amp technology a shot first. I picked a Bel Canto C5i a couple ... | |
| Headphones? I could use your experience/thoughts. No doubt Grado sr80e. |
