| The Better My System Gets.... Woody,I was about to post something similar.From smallest to largest:I try to get to McCabe's (150 seats) in Santa Monica often - it's always rewarding.Vibrato (300? capacity restaurant) is a good jazz club in Bel-Air when it's not too crowded.Can... | |
| Mirage Omni 350 omnipolar Just an observation here:Vanns.com has the Mirage 550 CH listed at $300/pair. This looks to be a pretty serious discount and might represent a good alternative to whatever deal you're considering on the 350 - depending on the pricing you've been o... | |
| Mirage Omni 350 omnipolar I don't know Mirage, (I own Ohm omnis) but a few A'gon posters are enthusiastic about the current discounts on these models from Vanns.com. If the 350 is among these, you might want to e-mail member Johnnyb53 for his thoughts - he's a Mirage guy.A... | |
| What is your favorite type of tweeter? I always suspected that the Gallo tweeter would be a great candidate for a Walsh type omni system in the price range specified by the OP. These drivers match up nicely with >300 degree horizontal dispersion and their extended bandwidth and powe... | |
| Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers Bob & Revrob,I don't know the Mirage OMD 28, but A'gon'r Johnnyb53 recommends it highly. You might want to e-mail him since that pricing is certainly aggressive. With the discount it fits both your budgets, as well.I've heard the XD in 3 diffe... | |
| Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers Bob,IMHO, the XD is a terrific system. However, the DEQX processor included with that set-up doesn't do digital room correction ("DRC") like a full blown DEQX or the SMS-1 or any of the Audyssey powered alternatives. It effects crossovers in the d... | |
| Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000? My current speaker system is:1 Pr. Ohm 100s @app $1700 (direct from Ohm)Velodyne SMS-1 subcontroller @app $450 (from AudioAdvisor.com)1 Pr. Rythmik Audio 12" subs @app $700 X2 (direct from RythmikAudio.com)Total cost is app $3500 (NEW), and all ca... | |
| What is a good bookshelf The little PSBs have always sounded pretty neutral to me. If you're looking for "sparkle" up high and "punch" in the mid-bass, it might come at some cost in neutrality. The original Red Rose Ribbon Monitor (the original version had the ribbon twee... | |
| Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers I guess I should add that all that is just MHO.Marty | |
| Monitor with sub or Full Range Speakers Blindjim,At the risk of dating myself, I last swam in the sub/sat pool in the 1970's -Kef Corellis w/ an M&K sub- and climbed out due to dangerous surf conditions. I just never got it to sound right. I spent the next 25 years in the full range... | |
| Quad ESL Repair in Los Angeles Area? There's a Quad dealer in Venice - Affordable Audio runs a monthly ad in the little classified section called "Audio Mart" near the back of each issue of Stereophile. Don't know these folks at all, but their ph# is 310-827-0359. Good Luck.Marty | |
| One or two JL subs? Audio Advisor is selling the Velodyne SMS-1 sub controller/PEq for $450.Even if you were to use the SMS only to optimize placement of your subs it would be worth the incremental cost. The video readout provides visual aid that -IME- correslates ve... | |
| Omnis with deep bass $2K Stan & Johnny,Thanks, I'll pass the respective words.Marty | |
| What floorstanding speakers should I buy? Jaybo's call is a good one - if the OP is in/near Pekin, Ill. The listing is pick-up only. However, that speaker at that price certainly appears to be quite a deal.Marty | |
| Wither Jimmy Page? I'm pretty sure I read that he's doing a documentary on guitarists that's supposed to be released soon. This film will focus on 3 players, one of whom is Page (can't recall the other 2 with certainty- might be The Edge and Jack White). I think it'... |
