| David Byrne & Brian Eno So far, the new one doesn't do it for me - might need some more time with it, though. Talking Heads did some great stuff in their day(The live recordings of Crosseyed and Painless, et al would be the peak for me) but Eno's music always seemed to b... | |
| Top 5 guitar jams FYI: related guitar jam info.The recent Sonny Landreth cd "From The Reach" features some tremendous duets between Sonny and Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, Mark Knopfler, & Robben Ford among others. Don't know if any are "top 5", but it's a great ... | |
| NHT XD's well built? Tim,Thanks for clarifying - I didn't realize that the mains were powered by the central NHT/DEQX x-over unit that's not available with this purchase. Four additional channels of amplification would be required - and, therefore, my economic analysi... | |
| NHT XD's well built? At homecast.net a vendor called ~jhidley is selling Xd satellites with stands at app. $300/pair and woofers at $300 apiece. Now, while these include internal amplification, you must add your own x-over. Aside from the pricing, this may be appealli... | |
| which is your favorite inexpensive stereo system? Right now it's hard for me to imagine that anything at this price will touch the active NHT system identified by Shadorne (and alluded to by Bob). There is, however, an explanation. NHT is "shutting down" next week - not sure exactly what that mea... | |
| MBL 121 to full range speaker Map,To my ear the biggest differences between the MBL 101s and the rest of the line are 1)midrange presence, 2)bass balance, and 3)dynamics. I assume that #1 is likely due to the extra radial driver in the 101 which crosses in low enough to cover ... | |
| MBL 121 to full range speaker To my ear, 101s and 111s sound vastly different (as do 116s and 121s with a sub). Before I bought Ohms, I auditioned all of the MBL models at 2 different dealers. I don't have space for 101s and their tonal balance isn't precisely what I'm seeking... | |
| MBL 121 to full range speaker Ohms.Sound different than MBL, but in the same "neighborhood". Depending on budget and room size - you might consider their floorstanders or sub/sats. Both types available direct from Ohm Acoustics with money back in-home trial.Good LuckMarty | |

| Pre/Pro with Got ya - never even ocurred to me! | |
| Pre/Pro with Kal,If I'm reading the Neptune web site correctly, it appears that the unit has a single subwoofer output channel. Is that your understanding, too?MartyRaks, I'll be sure check out the Casablanca too. Thanks. | |
| Pre/Pro with Kal,I was advised by the local Audyssey dealer (who sold me the AVR for my HT room) that the Audyssey included x-over capability. Their website isn't clear, but I had a suspicion that it would be clear if the unit actually included x-over. Thanks ... | |
| Pre/Pro with Kal & Bob,My latest room is difficult and correction in the bass is a must for any speaker I've tried there, despite extensive room treatment. (I've had the P/Es in 5 other rooms over the last 10 years - this is a first.) More grunt isn't real... | |
| Pre/Pro with MglennThanks so muchMarty |
