| Help in upgrading monitors. There are many good choices that have already been mentioned and lots more out there that might work well, ranging from Sonus Faber to Acoustic Zen to ProAc, etc. etc. But a word of caution re: Zingali. I own the floorstanding Overture 3. It's a w... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? CDC,Regarding omnis and added reverb.You could look at this another way: Every speaker is an omni.For signals below 150hz or so. So called "Omnis" merely continue this radiation pattern throughout the audible frequency range. From this viewpoint, ... | |
| Any Michael Bub'le fans....... my wife may leave me for him. nice enough singer with real charisma. better than Sinatra? maybe not so muchmarty | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? CDC,The problem with choosing a design concept is that it ignores the execution, which is almost always the more important factor. Quads do not sound very much like Soundlabs, yet both are electrostats. Vandy's model 2 doesn't sound like any Thiel... | |
| Whats your current Reference CD at the moment? The last CD I bought with really notable sound quality was Allen Toussaint's "The Bright Mississippi". These days, it seems like I find maybe one a year worth noting.Marty | |
| Best integrated tube amp for 3A MM deCapo i? I used the deCapo (pre "i" revision) with a pair of Cary 300B monoblocks. There was more than enough clean SPL capability for my needs. Just a data point for you.Marty | |
| Pair of JL Audio F110-Good Subs??? Just a comment on Bacardi's comment re: SVS subs w/EQ-1 being superior to JL. I'm sure that he's right. I also suspect that any half-decent sub mated to an EQ-1 (or Velodyne SMS-1) PEq unit will outperform a superior sub with no PEq - particularly... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I happen to think that the little Jordan driver is a fantastic device, but his subjective take on omnis can be summarily dismissed. I say this because anyone who groups all omnis as "thin" (or, for that matter, anything else)sounding is grouping O... | |
| Paradigm Sig Servo 15" and Velodyne SMS-1 If you don't mind interrupting the main signal path with an active high pass unit to roll off the bass in your main speakers (this would include the crossover in your HT pre-pro or receiver), the SMS-1 is a tremendously beneficial device for any a... | |
| Paradigm Sig Servo 15" and Velodyne SMS-1 The SMS-1 is a great device, but it's greatest benefits might get a bit lost in your set-up. The SMS improvements to a sub set-up can be divided into 2 main groups:1) Integration - it will allow very, very precise level match to your main speakers... | |
| Best blues vocalist There are too many for me to draw a full list, but here are a couple of women who might otherwise go unmentioned: Odetta and Koko Taylor. Check out "Gallows Pole" and "Wang Dang Doodle", respectively. I think pretty much everyone has taken a shot ... | |
| Separate Sub +Tower or Integrated Sub Irene,Even if you like pipe organs, there are very few organ music recordings that I know of which have much information so low in frequency. Your statement "I am a music listener" implies that we're not discussing movies/HT here. If that's correc... | |
| Artists of the Decade Chas,'50s/'60s rock 'n' roll was about sex - not an innocent good time by the standards of the day. Race music was said to cater to the "primitive" instincts of the Negroes. It's easy to dismiss the idea today, but "Satisfaction" drove some parent... | |
| how to include the subwoofer? Dgaylin,FYI - someone has just listed a used Museatex active/passive switchable high pass filter for sale at $275. I haven't heard this model first hand, but I knew a guy some years back (generally reliable) who swore by it. Just FYI.Marty | |
| Artists of the Decade One more candidate: EelsStarted in 200 with "Daisies of the Galaxy" IMHO a flat out great record.The next CD, "Shootenany" was terrific and was followed by "Souljacker" which was interesting but not particularly special.The double CD "Blinking Lig... |
