| Classic Rock Quiz That was hard. Somehow I managed a 70%. | |
| Let's try this a different way then Agree with Duke. If you like the Maggie bipolar planar sound, having distance to both front and rear walls is the key for optimal results. Distance to side walls matters much less. The best Maggie setups I have heard have the speakers 1/3 the dept... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? No doubt adding a powered sub or two done well almost always ups the ante as mentioned.I used to run a large M&K sub with my smaller 100s that are somewhat undersized for the open concept room they are in and liked the results. The sub went up... | |
| It Was 40 Years Ago Today... "And the world saw the future of Rock & Roll, and his name was Bruce Springsteen."Its name turned out to be Nickelback actually. :^( | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? High current SS amplification is key to best bass with the OHMs.Marty, correct me if wrong please, but you use tube amplification with your OHM/sub setup. That's another good way to go but most tube amps will not cut with the OHMs alone for best b... | |
| Dynaudio or Ohm? Both of my OHMs (100S3 and F5) are older refurbed cabinets with no plinth underneath. Floor interactions are not unqiue to bottom ported OHMS butsomething to take into account.I use Auralex Subdude isolation platforms under my 100s to manage floor... | |

| Hear sibilance on Krall, Famous Blue, D. Fagen? If subtle and only occurs in 2-3 recordings out of many, its most likely some artifact of the recording, either natural in the voices recorded and/or artificial due to defects or dirt on the record or CD. Most commercial recordings are not perfect... | |
| wattage it always depends.in this case it depends on how loud you need to go with various recordings and assuming speakers are capable of doing it in your room without strain or compressing.Generalizations may apply but generalizations seldom yield except... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? I also saw a sizeable rack of new issue old title records there mostly in the $30-$40 range and higher, and a lot of new entry level turntables at various more reasonable price points I thought. I guess if you buy the expensive records you get to ... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? I saw a pair of tiny Totem Arros going for over $2K at a local dealer yesterday.Yowsa! weren't these almost half that price not so long ago?Granted they are good sounding speakers for their diminutive size but they are TINY!!!! I like the sound of... |
