| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's Agree with Magfan, espicially in light of the subwoofer. The little guys are much easier to work with in a smallish room and the JL should round out the borrom end very nicely. I (sometimes) use MMGs with a pair of Rythmik subs and the result is a... | |
| Is my room OK for Magneplanar 3.6's I tried 3.5s in a similarly sized space many years back and could never get them to behave properly. | |
| What are the best live acts? Many of the best have already been noted. I'll add:FeeliesTodd Rundgren (on a good night, there have also been some bad ones)Rebirth Brass BandDirty Dozen Brass BandKid CreoleGatemouth BrownFleetwood Mac/Lindsey BuckinghamZachary Richard (when he ... | |
| How loud is loud, What DB is actually loud? Interesting thread.Mainly of the "who knew?" variety, re: SPLs in a car.As to the substance of the OP's original question:I'd propose that he might want to find subwoofer(s) that will produce single digit THD at 95 db (quasi)anechoic - the conditi... | |
| Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase Never lie about the stereo stuff. Now, ...the guitars... that's another story.Marty | |
| ARC versus Joule Electra Bjesian,Nope. I belive that the video you posted shows a Mk. II, and I have the earlier Mark I.MartyIn defense of my first response in this thread, when I offerred to provide feedback on the 2 preamps that I own, I did start the post by acknowledg... | |
| Real Stinkers Onhwy61,You might be right about the contract thing, but you might not be. No one seems to be certain what Reed was thinking (per the original post). AFAIK, Reed has never acknowledged that the record was a joke, (although the lingering risk of po... | |
| Any experience with DEQX™ HDP-Express ? ... No experience, but I believe (could be wrong) that McIntosh uses the Lyngdorf correction scheme, which is different than all of the other DRC units (including DEQX) out there. As I understand it, Lyngdorf/Mc compares nearfield and farfield measure... | |
| Real Stinkers Might be hard to top Lou Reed's "Metal Machine Music" which -IMHO- is truly unlistenable. Reed has done some great stuff, some not-so- great stuff, some really shaky stuff, and MMM.MartyPS I was a bit suprised to see RE Keen's Picnic listed by Vir... | |
| Reliability of Cary Audio Products Some years back, my local Cary dealer (Upscale Audio) acknowledged reliability issues with some of the Cary CD and/or SACD players. I don't recall him ever mentioning any issues with their electronics. I've had 300B monos for almost a decade and 8... | |
| Best Rock Drummers When drummers have too much time on their hands .... still worth watching (I think).http://comedy.video.yahoo.com/?l=3774740&v=7616118Marty | |
| Christmas music even I can like More thanks. I'm on it. | |
| Best Rock Drummers MmitchSeraphine has a new band called California Transport Authority (CTA - get it?). I saw them open locally for Taj Mahal. They were great and he was all over his kit. Their music was more like Chicago I than anything else I recall from that ban... | |
| Guilty Pleasure recording? Ah, there are so many, but one takes my personal cake. I actually have a weakness for the song "Patches", written by Norman "General" Johnson and taken to the pop charts by IIRC Clarence Carter. This is an almost unbelievably bad (story of Job) ly... | |
