| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? Email,I thought Harmony House was on the West Side, near Lincoln Center. These are long damaged brain cells, but I thought that there was also a Harvey’s Electronics nearby. Lyric HiFi and one or two other places were on the Upper East Side, IIRC. | |
| The Beach Boys Bdp,You ask an interesting question. Here's another one:. What might The Beatles have wrought had they heard it? They were still paying attention to Mr Wilson (and taking inspiration from him). And....Given the influence of The Beatles, how mig... | |
| B&W Sold to a Silicon Valley Startup It sounds like the Venture guy just bought himself a brand and retail distribution. He also got a CEO from inside the high-end audio business - which probably bodes well for (tho hardly guarantees) future product audio quality. Beyond that, I th... | |
| Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's? I remember that the local high-end store in Ann Arbor (college days), Mich. featured the Polk 10, DCM Time Window, and Dahlquist DQ-10. I wasn't familiar with any of those brands prior to that first visit. All three made an impression, but the D... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Todd Rungren is playing a club just down the road from me tonight, so I've been streaming a bunch of his stuff over the last few days in anticipation of the show. It would be hard to find as many beautifully crafted songs from one artist as I've ... | |
| Need advice on adding subs Cjk,Unfortunately, this was some years ago and I'm not 100% certain of my timeline. Over the last decade plus, I've used both Velodyne SPL subs and (the far superior, IMO) Rythmik 12" subs extensively (among others, less extensively) with many di... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Accurus,Very cool project you've embarked upon. Thanks for the opportunity to follow along here. | |
| Need advice on adding subs I'm not in love with the combo of deCapo and subwoofers. The deCapo is beautifully balanced as a stand-alone. The presence thru treble is gently rolled off to balance the modest bass energy. As a stand-alone monitor, it's really, really good an... | |
| Schiit Mani - any opinions ? It's a Piece of Schiit. | |
| Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce Based on my memory of hearing the 2ce many times and the original Sophia once (room and system caveats noted), my sense is that the Wilson will have substantially more energy through the presence region than your 2ce. You may hear this as improve... | |
| Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor Any omnidirectional, long wavelength, (deep bass) is going to bounce around the room creating complex patterns of interference. As you move the source of that wave (your speaker, or in this case, subwoofer), away from a nearby, reflective surface ... | |
| Whats playing on your system today? Loomis,You said the magic word..."Feelies". Just fired up Atlas on AppleMusic and instantly hear what you're talking about. So far, so good. Thanks for the tip. | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Ghost,I generally agree re: early Hall & Oates representing the band's peak (the track Sara Smile, specifically). However, Daryl Hall may be my favorite r'n'r singer, ever. That guy can sing the phonebook, IMO.The thing about War Babies is ... | |
| Best Sounding Classic Rock Cd's Rumours is a terrific sounding recording, IMO.A little less "classic" (but still rock), all of the early Eels records sound great. Daisies of The Galaxy is a personal favorite, tho Beautiful Freak is more often cited. | |
| Artists' lps that don't get the respect deserved Loomis,Another good thought from you (not unusual) for this thread: Albums that are often relegated to the bottom of that artist's catalog, but perhaps shouldn't be. "Red Ledge" is a good example. "War Babies" is another Hall & Oates record ... |
