| Bookshelf Speakers in Built-in Bookcase Thanks. I don't think I've heard any closed cabinet speakers that I've liked very much. Also, if you look at the picture of my shelving unit, it's not of uniform depth. The counter where the speakers go sticks out much farther than the bookshelves... | |
| Bookshelf Speakers in Built-in Bookcase Unfortunately, I really can't move the sub. I'd like to change out the mains for some speakers that can go lower than the Katans. The Katans' frequency range is only 60Hz - 20KHz in active mode. I know I can do a lot better than that. I saw some g... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear On further investigation, Maron has a Rogue Cronus Magnum amp and S-F Toy floor standers, a Sony TT with a pearl cartridge. | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear "Marc Maron's character on his eponymous TV show has a full setup of Mac stuff."If you listen to his podcast, he has mentioned that he has a Rogue tube amp and Sonus Faber speakers (in real life). I can't remember if he has said what kind of turnt... | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? I'm a bit surprised at how much you guys are (intentionally) missing the point. The point is that our opinions of subjective items like wine, fine art and audio equipment can be persuaded by the cost. Many years ago, a friend of mine pointed out t... | |
| Bad news for audiophiles? That phenomenon has been tested and documented before. I'd bet good money that the same phenomenon applies to audio. Not - as Akg suggest - to mean that low-fi gear actually sounds as good as serious audiophile gear. But within "high-end" I'm sure... | |
| Receiver If you want HDMI handling and latest codecs, the B&K won't work for you. There are some great deals on refurbished NAD receivers (search Agon classifieds), although some people have had reliability issues. One nice thing is the amps are good f... | |
| Need Help Picking Out Bookshelf Speakers Also, you might want to check out Linn Majik 109s. (I'm a Linn fan. I have Katans in one system and Majik 140s in another). The Majiks are really great and are front ported. From Stereophile:"Another unusual aspect of the 109 is that the 2K array ... | |
| Bob Weir documentary on Netflix Yep - I watched that Big Star doc last week. (I'm on a music documentary bender these days). I agree - it opened my eyes to Chris Bell.wrt Husker Du, Grant Hart never really got his due. | |
| Need Help Picking Out Bookshelf Speakers I haven't heard them, but what about those Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors that are made to go right agains the wall? Or the Gallo Reference wall mounts? (although those probably need subs) | |
| Bob Weir documentary on Netflix I just watched "Every Everything," the documentary about Grant Hart (most famously of Husker Du). He's become a little bitter (largely about Bob Mould still) and a tad pompous, but he's clearly very intelligent and an interesting guy, and the movi... | |
| Bob Weir documentary on Netflix BDP - I have some strong musical opinions myself. For me, the significant bands include the Velvet Underground, Husker Du, The Replacements, Pavement, early Red Hot Chili Peppers and The Dead. On the flip side, I can't stand The Eagles, Elton John... | |
| Universal Remote for Classe SSP25 Pre/Pro I have a Harmony One for my HT system and it is awesome. But if you are only controlling your amp, it is overkill. I'm not sure if we are allowed to plug sites on here, but I just came across a deal on one of those "deal of the day" type of closeo... | |
| LinN Klimax DS/O Renew or Memory Player64 I'm not familiar with the Memory Player, but I'll say the same thing to you I've said in other threads: make sure you understand the details of how the Klimax works in a system. If you aren't sure, you definitely need to go to the Linn Forums and ... | |
