| Bass leaves after amp warms up? For me it reminded me of the the need to make sure fundamentals (like proper wiring) are correct and not assume that just because someone does not like what they hear, that it is necessarily the equipment's fault. I knew all of that already I supp... | |
| Speakers with fullness and weight? Its a very interesting and relevant topic of discussion, but I would find it more beneficial if some specific examples of speakers not delivering up to snuff and why were cited to support some the generalized arguments presented that I have troubl... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Even now, I am not quite sure the bi-wiring was done in a harmful way, but it was clearly ill advised and increased the chances of doing it wrong and experiencing problems as a result. There was so much going on at the OPs end that it was very har... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "But why didn't it end a long time ago? "I could be wrong but I do not recall the ill advised attempt to bi-wire the speakers from a single source amplifier ever coming up until late in the game, after the issue had apparently been addressed alrea... | |

| Why does most new music suck? I'd be willing to bet that if some of those who are currently down on most new music would ramp up their "creative drug" input to their adolescent and early adult levels, their perspectives might change and perhaps even broaden. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Assuming what was said above to the effect of simple melodies being the best (which I agree with), that bodes well for music both now and in the future, plus creative drugs most likely need not play a major role.There will always be those who are ... | |
| M-Lores or Aon 3: bass/imaging Adle,HAven't heard Sjofn (The Clue) speakers, but I would say your accounting of the Goldenear Aon3s and the Dynaudios is most consistent with my experiences with both to date.A "good solid apple-bosomed Dutch girl"? Dynaudio is Danish. Close enough? | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "This thread as a whole is a great example of audiophiles and audiophile forums at their best. A very special thread indeed. "You mean as an example of how audiophiles tend to obsess on fixing their sound based on limited facts and thus spend vast... | |
