| Michael Fremer's system I did find it interesting that he made no attempt to explain why things sounded good. They just did. To him. That’s fine for him but not very helpful for his readers. Whatever few are still listening probably do not care either. Now look though, h... | |
| Michael Fremer's system Very nice for that room. Lots of good sounding records. That tone arm looks like the bomb. Way too pricey for me though. I bet the fuses are nice too! 😉 | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Having heard the newer Klipsch offerings, I’m going to go out on a limb and say horns need no longer be so controversial. Affordable good sounding ones are out there. Like anything else some will like them and some will not. Their clear advantage ... | |
| Any deals on klipsch speakers Heresy 3. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Got to hear Klipsch Heresy and Forte 3s today for first time. Local dealer just started carrying these. I was very pleasantly surprised by the Heresy 3. I could live with those. | |
| Cartridges: Complete Scam? As prices go up, it is almost always diminishing returns at best. You tend to get more bling factor and maybe more muscle in some cases for more $$$s but the bling factor of a phono cartridge is, well, pretty low.The dl103R I use in my Linn table ... | |
| My rant; we don't know what we don't know Nice rant. A tad extreme perhaps but on target in general. | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? The snakes are certainly quite brazen these days. I wonder why? Do people find it entertaining? Brash, snarky brazen snakes > the sneaky more secretive ones? Brash is in these days I hear. | |
| Why is the snake oil topic closed? The burnin' question is do snake oil salesmen elect their representative or is that position just up for grabs? | |
| The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn" Moody Blues fans be aware the Moodies 50th anniversary of Days of future Passed Concert from earlier this year in Toronto with orchestral accompaniment is premiering this weekend on PBS's Great Performances program. | |
| Not much discussion around MBL Shadorne who knew parasitic vibrational modes could sound so good! 😉Those on a budget who cant afford or deal with mbl owe it to themselves to set up a pair of ohm walsh well and give that a try. Much more practical for most rooms and used you mig... | |
| Not much discussion around MBL There have been many posts about MBL. Yes pricey. If you like MBL take a look at German Physiks or OHM. OHMs do not take a big financial commitment to try the waters.I’ve heard MBL on several occasions once in a well designed dealer showroom and t... | |
| More effecient speakers? Larryi yes mine are Triangle Titus XS. They sound as you describe but I find they can become somewhat shrill on some amps. I currently run them of Bel Canto C5i digital integrated, 60w/ch. No speakers I've used sound shrill on this amp including t... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Obviously horn loaded speakers are used commonly in larger public venues. Many of those sound really bad as well compared to a good home system, but in many cases it is due to poor or echo-prone acoustics commonly found in those places. Still ... | |
| More effecient speakers? Larryi,I know what you are saying. I have little Triangle monitors that are more efficient and sound best at lower volumes. Mostly because they are small and not made to go too loud.No doubt a more efficient speaker will "wake up" sooner with fewe... |
