| Who stay with Merlin longest time My VSMs date to 1998, but I had Merlin upgrade the pair in +/- 2006. I don't get in front of them as often as I once did, but IMHO, this is still a great speaker. | |
| Should I bother to try a subwoofer? Personally, there are many brands I'd look at before REL, but I would definitely look at a sub. My view is about a 180 from most on x-over frequency. I'd say cross pretty high for best results.My reasoning is that careful placement of a sub will p... | |
| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? On the subject of favorite basslines - rock 'n' roll division:I love the bass line in Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain". It pops up sporadically and adds forward momentum and then just disappears for several measures at a time. Then, the song stops and ... | |
| Need help with Jazz Great idea from Edorr.One of the Rachelle Ferrell CDs also has tremendous SQ - (sorry, I can't recall the title off the top of my head). You might want to do a little research on that. Her music kinda bumps up against the funk/r&b genre and it... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Slaw,Right you are, late '60s.....another miss for me. | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Bgpowell,I think you're a bit too purist here (for my taste, anyway) in defining "one hit wonder". MTH, had several albums, but I don't think they ever charted top 40 beyond "Dudes". Post band careers (Paul Rodgers of Free) wouldn't seem relevant ... | |
| What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's? Might be "Hallelujah" by Sweathog. Or "Don't Walk Away Renee" by The Left Banke. Or "Gold" by John Stewart. Or "Venus" by Shocking Blue. Or "The Rapper" by Jaggerz. Or "Lay a Little Lovin' On Me" by Robin McNamara. Or "All Right Now" by Free. Or "... | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. BTW,Several other luthiers make similar instruments. For example:http://doolinguitars.com/harpguitars.htmlStill expensive, but I'd guess that these are a fraction of the price of a Wingert.Marty | |
| Clarence Clemons - RIP I thought that he stole the show at my first Springsteen concert. It was at Jennison Fieldhouse in East Lansing, Michign in 1975. He made quite an impression that night and it's really sad that he's gone.Marty | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. Larry,I'm pretty sure that the harp-guitar in the McKee video was made by Kathy Wingert, who is generally considered one of the top luthiers working today. If you want more evidence of her status, check out the prices she gets for a straight up fl... | |
| YouTube Favorites to share. Here's one you don't see every day:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cvar4ZsqsEoAndy MacKee playing an incredible harp-guitar | |
| Using both the Balanced and Unblanced inputs Call the manufacturer.I have run parallel SE + BAL systems in the past, coverging at the POWER AMP. (CDP and PHONO AMP each go se to one PREAMP and bal to a 2nd PREAMP, the first PRE goes se to my POWER AMP and the other PRE goes bal to the same P... | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End John,"Don't singers and guitars both have bodies?"Yes. And both have vibrating strings (or cords), too.Marty | |
| Magico Q3's at Goodwin's High End Does anyone seriously think that Tyson,Neville, and Barbra provide "irrefutable" evidence that there's NO (positive) correlation between body size and certain characteristics of a person's voice (pitch/power)?It is certainly anecdotal evidence aga... | |
| Advice for first pair of Maggies That set up should work well. I've used an MMG Hibachi system in a slightly larger space with great success. Adding a sub later (maggies and subs DO mate well, if you use the right tools) will create a wonderful full range system. Your specific ch... |
