| If you have ever bought anything from HSU research Viablex,I have no relationship with HSU (good or bad) so I'm glad it worked out for you in the end. However, if I understand you story correctly, you're simply wrong here. It was your responsibility to know the terms of HSU's product offering as s... | |
| Soundlab speakers with sub woofers? BTW, Soundlab's FAQ section essentially mirrors Bob's view that the speakers' high impedance in the bass is SS friendly due to the reduced current demand. OTOH, taking that position is certainly in Soundlab's own interest since it allows them to s... | |
| Soundlab speakers with sub woofers? The question of panel vs dynamic subs mating well with panel speakers is probably not worth debating unless you've heard both types in a similar environment. Outside of Soundlab's own Roger West, I can't imagine that too many folks have actually e... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Fjn,Not akg, but I was at the show opening night in Minny, so I'll offer my take. I thought that it was a great show, but very different from last year's set. Christine got a third of the songs this time and the net effect was a show that was a bi... | |
| Help with AV preamp/processor I (very happily) use an Onkyo 5509 pre-pro in my (very elaborate) 2 channel, music only system, FWIW.There's an interesting situation that arises when/if your 2 channel, music listening involves subwoofers. To my ear, the bass management/room EQ c... | |
| What sub under a grand? I use Rythmik subs and can absolutely second the recommendation, but I'd also think hard about the SVS dual SB-1000 offer. A pair of sealed SVS subs with 12" drivers at $950 is probably a great way to maximize your chances of getting great sound, ... | |
| Merlin VSM... how far from the walls ? FWIW,I've found that this speaker - particularly in the early SE version - really changes character when moved closer to/further from the wall behind it (at least in the rooms in which I've used it). As it gets within a foot and half (or so) of th... | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help Simon,IMO, the HK is a somewhat different animal than virtually any other model recommended in this thread, so it will come down to your personal priorities. The HK power amp section is a true high end SS design, similar in many ways to those foun... | |
| Similar sounding bands. Ozzy,Personally, I'd go with Yoko Ono and NYC subway train making tight turn at high speed. | |
| Similar sounding bands. Ghost,Probably the quickest way to hear similarities is to check out the video mash-ups from the time of Oasis' moment in the sun, when wags were bashing them for their pilfering of Beatles material. I'd guess that some of them are probably still ... | |
| Similar sounding bands. Ghost,Of course you're right that influences do not necessarily "sound-alikes" make. In this case, tho - the musical similarity between these bands struck me immediately (particularly given the vocal aping of John Lennon). As I indicated in my pos... | |
| Similar sounding bands. Ghosthouse,Your post prompted me to visit Wikipedia to see if there was anything there on the connection. Oasis (among a handful of other bands) is prominently featured in their article devoted to The Beatles' cultural impact. Here's the link:http... | |
| Similar sounding bands. I've found many of the suggested pairings here a little hard to understand, but it's even harder to understand how anyone would question the Beatles-Oasis connection. I'm not a giant fan of Oasis and can't pretend to know their catalog very well, ... | |
| Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help I'll second RW on the HK 990. High quality, lots of power, and unmatched flexibility (particularly the bass management and DSP). If you're looking to future proof yourself, I don't think anything else out there can match it. NAD also makes a unit ... | |
| Why are there no botique car audio recievers? I believe that Naim supplies Rolls Royce and/or Bentley and both Lexicon and B&O OEM for a few brands like Hyundai and Audi. I'm not sure if any of this stuff is available in the aftermarket, tho. |
