| What country still has music? Music is more diverse and more available then ever these days. As a whole, it mostly sounds pretty darn good these days to me as well, though not always perfect. Like John Harbough likes to say, "Who's got it better than us?". | |
| What country still has music? Classical music is still fairly popular in Austria I've been told, at least as reflected in the cost of attending preimier events in premier venues there.The traditional "arts" including classical music still have a strong core going in cities lik... | |
| What country still has music? " It's not a surprise for me where there's almost no school that even introduces what is music to children."My daughter goes to a decent public middle school and has been learning violin there for 2 years. She's no Heifetz yet, but certainly getti... | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Sure, I'll take whatever info people want to provide, current or past. As long as its something that might still be acquired, either new or used. | |
| decware err radial speakers The HR-1s look very nice!THe hybrid approach using Decware's radial driver looks similar to what Blue Circle did a couple years back using an OHM CLS driver and is priced similarly it would appear.ITs also not unlike what German Physiks does with ... | |
| Replacement for Maggie's? Brownsfan,That's a good point. I've heard larger current Maggies do larger scale orchestral music quite well for the reasons you cite in a small to moderate size room running off larger ARC tube amplification. I had few issues with most classical ... | |
| How Important is power conditioning if you have Also remember that most all signal processing circuits in gear do not see raw AC power as it would be measured at the outlet or end of the power cord. There are internal power transformers and other power source circuitry that may or may not in it... | |
| How Important is power conditioning if you have "The differences in power conditions can vary greatly . Some improve the sound , some change the sound and some destroy the sound . "Practically, I think that is the bottom line.Personally, I'd lean towards vendors that specialize in this type of ... | |
| Replacement for Maggie's? To me the decision to stick with Maggies or not revolves largely around the types of music listened to and how important associated macrodynamics are to you. Macrodynamics, punch, meat on the bones, or whatever you want to call it matter most with... | |
| decware err radial speakers Pluto,Nice writeup! Thanks for sharing. | |
| Do I have enough power? I think Bggregory is on the right path.Mani's I have heard of McIntosh amplification lead s me to believe the might trend towards being a touch bright with some amps (similar to my Dynaudio monitors) and digital sources. Not a good or bad thing in... | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig? Google search for "real music" comes up with:Real Musicat the top of the list.Maybe, just maybe... :-)I would like to hear some of that music on my OHMs though! | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig? "Please define "REAL MUSIC" for me..."The kind that mmg's smoke OHMs on? :-) | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig? In general, I think OHMs will hold the advantage over Maggies in regards to macrodynamics. So if the music benefits from having really good slam and meat on the bones, especially at higher volumes, the OHMs win. That's what led me to replace my lo... | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig? "I will give you Ohms are better on hard rock, but on REAL musis MMg will smoke them."Agree about the OHMS for rock and pop music.That mmgs will smoke them on other forms is more debatable. ALso there are larger and smaller OHMs all with similar s... |
