| vintage versus modern speakers in hindsight the amps most people were using in the 70s with whatever speakers they had were probably the weaker link. I'd guesstimate most speakers I heard back then on your typical Japanese or similar receiver or integrated amp would sound at le... | |
| vintage versus modern speakers I have Dynaudio COntour 1.3 mkII monitors. These are overachieving little guys that hit way above their size and cost and deliver many delights, but they are not nearly as coherent sounding top to bottom as my newer OHM Walshes. My older "vintage"... | |

| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck ITs crazy to compare BEck and Beyonce much less put them in teh same category in teh first place and then have one win over teh other. Its apples/oranges. So it is what it is..win some loose some. Tell Kanye that!!! | |
| Amp and preamp on same outlet? Unless you have issues with too much current draw, just plug 'em in together enjoy and don't worry about it.If it were a problem for me with my gear, I'd probably just buy different gear that works better together and be done.If you have noise iss... | |

| vintage versus modern speakers IF one thinks a particular speaker from teh 70's is the best for them then that is what they should buy.I still have my OHM Ls from 1978. I had to refurb them with some new parts but they can be had newly refurbed from the maker still for about $5... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? Is Jimmy Johns really that fast or are they just setting themselves up for failure by advertising to be?Just wondering. have never experienced. | |

| Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck "But the good music is not as easy to find as it was in the past."The only reason for that I can think of is that there is more than ever and continues to become more diverse. | |
| Building the Audio Note Kit 1 SET amp... Mik its very efficient and designed to work well with low power tube amps and within budget. As pointed out most speakers have trade offs. Whether not its the speaker for rebbi or not who knows. Its certainly a viable candidate. Bass need not be a... | |
