| Focal Aria 936 / Elac Adante AF-61 / Von Schweikert VR-33 , impressions, thoughts? If your Triangles sound like mine (Titus) only bigger and better I’d think it over carefully before parting ways. I added a sub to mine rather than part with them because they do what they do very well and would be hard to replace. If you are head... | |
| Klipsch Forte III--Pleasantly Surprised I’ve liked them very much in the two dealer auditions I’ve had. No obvious faults so far. You can really hear the differences in recordings which impresses me. This with just a very modest AV amp only even.They have a lot of competition at their p... | |
| Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording? No they all sound different from the exceptional to the more mundane to the highly flawed but almost all are listenable which means the sound reproduction is working well for a music lover like me. I even have a few old 78s from the 30s and 40s th... | |
| Two Against Nature-What is your reference recording? My whole collection is my reference recording. It all has to sound its best. | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? Stvgray you know OHM is still there making "Walsh style" speakers inspired by those Fs. Smaller pair start at just over $1000 new. I have two pair currently. My larger pair use 12" Walsh style drivers mounted in refurbed OHM F cabinets. ... | |
| What is the weird "fisheye" pic on so many items? Perhaps the dumbest thing ever seen on a site where people pay to sell stuff. I would be fired if I ever came up with something that intentionally degraded the look of my web site like that. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? People tolerate it so there you go. | |
| A song murdered by someone. larryi what’s wrong with "Africa" and "We Built This CIty?"As pop music goes those are actually both quite catchy obviously and also done quite well. BTW just saw Jefferson Starship at the state fair a couple weeks back and thoroughly enjoyed the... | |
| A song murdered by someone. Mick pretty much murders most everything these days but nothing new there. | |
| Whats playing on your system today? There are several volumes of a recently released multi (19?) CD box set of soundtrack music from the original Lost In Space tv series I’ve been streaming with spotify. It spans all three seasons but I have mostly been listening to the John William... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ironically, if you perouse the start of this thread my recollection is the OP Rebbi discussed his Totem Arros prior to trying OHMs. | |
| klipsch speakers,be honest They are good speakers like many others but different mainly more sensitive. Just feed and set them up right. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Not only that but fact is Amish kids love their high end car stereos in their barn. No joke. They bought them in the store I worked in back then all the time. Is Radio Shack high end enough? It is for Amish kids. While on the topic I gotta say tha... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Any old Amish recipe for oregano on pizza? http://www.amish365.com/the-amish-cook-gloria-talks-pizza/Looks delicious, very high end! Look at all those ingredients! Go completely wild and toss some oregano on there.To think Amish take pride in... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? BTW,Totem Arro and OHM MWT are perhaps my two favorite floor standers of their size and price range that I know of. I could live with either but in the end I would probably live more contently with the MWTs because I am an omni kind of guy in g... |
