| Looking for suggestions for a new (to me) pair of high efficiency monitors Jsl,Have not heard those exact models. Similar ones I have heard sounded fine but have not done critical listening. The specs say they should sound pretty good and the efficiency spec in particular jumps out. I’d be willing to give a try at that p... | |

I’ve been giving more serious consideration to trying out higher efficiency speakers with my 60w//ch digital integrated amp mainly to go louder and similarly clear when needed.Current speakers are 89db refurbed OHM Ls.Been eyeballing used Klipsch ... | |

| Speaker Placement - When it's perfect! Once I realized that speaker placement was perhaps the most easily and affordably addressed key to good sound, and started to get the hang of how to best tackle the issue, everything else became much easier and cheaper especially when I realized g... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? You are not the last.Bling is a big part of high end audio. Hard to put a proper price tag on bling, but higher prices alone can add to bling factor. Bling is in the eye (not ear) of the beholder. How it impacts the senses from there is anyone’s g... | |

| Most overrated bands I think defiant just has some bones to pick. Its hard for anyone to meaningfully argue any successful act with many fans over many years is overrated. More likely just not one's cup of tea. Ratings are pretty much about numbers not opinions. | |
| Most overrated bands How about Chicory Tip then? | |
| 50 of the best hi-fi albums for audiophiles A Mercury Living Presence box set will give you 50 in a compact single box. | |
| Help me narrow down some speaker choices You need something reasonably high efficiency with 30 watts. Don’t overlook Triangle or Spatial. Then there is always Klipsch. New Forte 3s are very nice. | |
| Most overrated bands Dare I suggest Radiohead? | |
| Audiophiles should learn from people who created audio Einstein said a bunch of smart things that seem like he was talking about audiophiles: “It is better to believe than to disbelieve; in doing you bring everything to the realm of possibility.” "Imagination is more important than... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! Bond, yes same thing. Tracks that do not have clean silence between them are very hard for a computer program to do correctly in accordance with what is needed to then auto tag each track correctly. A good example would be progressive rock "s... | |
| Sweet Vinyl Sugarcube - I Want It!!! I’ll have to check that out. Currently, it takes me about an extra 15-20 minutes per album to delimit tracks and process using tic removal and normalization once played and digitized. I use free Audacity software for this part.Then I autotag using... |
