| Pink Floyd on Pandora "What struck me in the Floyd-authored op-ed piece -- and what prompted me to post it here in the first place -- was the idea that Pandora, at least as the writers would have us believe, is attempting to snow the artists, saying one thing while hop... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "If you have not heard the bass come around in a week we can safely assume (as we did before) that it is not the amplifier at fault."I have not read anything that indicates this amplifier will be the nth degree in terms of extended and dynamic bas... | |
| Pink Floyd on Pandora Danaroo has a good point which I agree with. Those guys need Pandora. Pink Floyd does not. Pandora might need Pink Floyd so they can use them as a seed to help people find other lesser known similar artists. Even newer popular money making artists... | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? Looks like a very nice integrated. I hope it works out. | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search BTW, I had to work hard to get any of my newer, "better" speakers to deliver prog rock like the type the OP identifies as well as my OHM Ls did quite effortlessly. I had the Ls standing in as my mains during my last speaker upgrade to newer and pr... | |
| Pink Floyd on Pandora Marty, yeah, shakeouts, acquisitions, etc. seem par for the course when it comes to these kinds of new things. It'll be interesting to see where it goes. Brand/label owned internet music services would seem in line with what has been going on in t... | |
| Pink Floyd on Pandora Not sure what to make of that except I'm sure it will work out in the end. | |
| Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak I think enough brilliant pebbles in a room could make a nice tweak to acoustics, say a ton piled in each front corner. Maybe bulk discounts are offered. | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search Micro walsh talls should perform well in a room that size. I have slightly larger 100s I use in my small 12X12 rooms, and they are a perfect no compromise fit there. That size might come refurbed from OHM in Walsh 2 cabinets perhaps like mine if a... | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search For that kind of music mainly, a pair of classic OHM Ls could be hard to beat. These are front ported and use an 8" woofer, and two tweeters, one low, one high range, and a simple crossover design. They are awesome with prog/metal music! I still h... | |
| Oh, the frustrations of the speaker search For prog/metal/rock in particular if you liked the little GEs and PSBs, stretch your budget a bit perhaps, maybe consider speakers with larger drivers and or cabinets and maybe even a tad more efficient where possible. Little speakers will struggl... | |
| Review: Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak "Ozzy,What ever happened to the Machina dynamica Brilliant Pebbles Tweak? "Maybe he has been piling them up over the years for more effect and it might take him a bit longer to wade through them to get to his computer to answer now...:^)Hopefully ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? I like Reznor and Nine Inch Nail's music, and respect his opinion, but I think he like many underestimate the ability of others to make good music. He is a star, and a tad of narcissism typically goes along with that, buthe is only a few years you... | |
| Manufacturer Repairs? What is a reasonable time? Elizabeth is right, but if that small manufacturer has visions of growing, they had best get their customer service in order and not make it a second or low priorrity IMHO. | |
| Bass leaves after amp warms up? "When I let the Accustic Arts have a go at the 87dB/4-ohm Walsh 4.5Mk II -- a speaker more in line with the amp's 190-watt delivery into such a load -- it was late in the Power 1's stay yet it gave me more of the same. While I doubt that the Power... |
