| Greatest song titles.. Theo,Is that "You Broke My Heart so I Busted Your Jaw" by Spooky Tooth, or a different song?Then there are the Dandy Don Meredith country candidates:"I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy""My wife ran off with my best fri... | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? Lewinski,If you need an inexpensive, sand-alone active x-over, see if you can find an NHT x-2. It's now discontinued and hard to find (probably because it's pretty widely sought after and used offers tend to get snapped up quickly), but it's a ver... | |
| Green and Clapton Wildoats,I get where you're coming from, and you might be right, but I'm not sure that your conclusion is fair.The last Splinter Group album (that I'm aware of, anyway) is Reaching The Cold 100. If memory serves, I'd have to agree that the music i... | |
| Greatest song titles.. I believe that Thomas August Darnell Browder (AKA August Darnell, AKA Kid Creole) has a lock on this competition. At the moment, my personal favorite is:"Kiss Me Before The Light Changes" | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? Lewinski,The DEQX has always looked interesting to me, but the local dealer (possibly also the national distributor) isn't very accommodating, so - even tho I tried to stop in for a demo - I never got a chance to check it out and can't really comm... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? The least expensive way to assure flat 20hz response that I know of would be a Velodyne SMS-1 bass management system (+/- $500 new, if available) coupled with the appropriate subs of your choice ($1k for a pair of SVS 12" sealed subs would probabl... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? 32-ft pipe = 16Hz. Not that uncommon in large organs.No argument, Coot,I was merely pointing out that, of the half dozen or so pipe organ recordings that I own, only one - an SACD I purchased at the Cathedral in Passau, Germany (home of the larges... | |
| Best Rock Album of 2014 Wallinger had a brain aneurism about 10 years ago that put him down for 5+ years while he re-learned many basic sills, including guitar and piano. FWIW, I like Dumbing Up quite a lot, tho not as much as I like Egyptology or Goodbye Jumbo.Also good... | |
| Budget floorstading with a good waf.... Help The Opera Seconds is, I believe, a discontinued model. It's basically a visual knock-off of the Sonus Faber Cremona and a nice sounding speaker - a pretty good value, too, at $2K/pair. The Venere is IMHO a more striking design, but that's just my ... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? To clarify one point re: adding subs. I actively cross my set up at 72hz - that number reflecting the smoothest FR I could manage thru the x-over region. I suspect that diverting those large excursion signals below 72hz away from the Ohm allows fo... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? I'm pissed at Tommy E. He's doing a ton of shows on his US Tour, but none in SoCal. I've never seen him, live either, dammit, and I agree that he's a just about incomparable player | |
| Subwoofer: should we even use them at all? My Parsifal (Encore) barely makes the low 40hz range WITH the woofer cabinet - they start to quit in the mid 40s range and are well down by 40hz. The monitors start to roll off at about 55 to 60 hz in my room. There's a hump in the upper 40s thru ... | |
| Budget floorstading with a good waf.... Help The Golden Ear Triton may not be beautiful, but it's only 5" wide which may make it appealing. Good sound and very good value IMO | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Coot, I noticed a similar issue with my 100s. I added a pair of subwoofers to address the bottom octave and take some of the upper bass workload off the Ohms. I love the result, but I use Audyssey to integrate the woofers and I know that that's no... | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Saw my 8 year old play at a piano recital last night along with two dozen of her friends. Unforgettable show.I'll also try to catch the Eels tomorrow night in LA and will definitely see World Party in two weeks. |
