| HELP I need Speaker Recommendation? w/set up I would look thru some of the budget virtual systems where people have employed brainpower over wallet power to come up with winning sound combos. I'm not saying that it's bad to have wallet power or that big ticket systems are bad. The only point... | |
| Dumb question about Speaker Positioning db--A very helpful post, in my opinion, and for what it's worth.-Bill | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Velocity, FWIW, I also read condescension into your original post and was appalled. Apparently I got that wrong, and I apologize for that. I do NOT doubt that you are an expert on home theater and surround sound, and I also realize (fully) that I ... | |
| Hints on how to sell on A'gon? What Elizabeth and Bdgregory said! Both of the sellers who sold me electronics packed the items to the hilt, and I was extremely impressed. Pardales packing the Dodson 217 Mark II D DAC and Lak packing the Shunyata Hydra--Lak even TRIPLE boxed the... | |

| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? Landok,Just like you, I have nothing against surround sound, home theater, etc. It's good for me to see differing points of view since I already KNOW what mine are. Condescending comments, however, detract from the quality of any discussion. That'... | |
| Hints on how to sell on A'gon? I try to offer things at as low of a price as possible, but within reason (i.e., 25 cents on the dollar is probably not very often going to be "within reason"). People love a bargain, and my stuff (not very much yet, but that could change at some ... | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? I can't comment on multichannel, but I CAN say with absolute certainty that my two channel set-up plus sub-bass unit generates SPECTACULAR imaging, which I've already described at length in my review of the Intuitive Design Summits. Depth, width, ... | |
| Dumb question about Speaker Positioning "I second Newbee's response. IMHO a really good 2-channel setup - two good speakers, well placed and backed up by good electronics - obviates the need for additional speakers; with the possible exception of a well integrated subwoofer."JgiacaloI v... | |
| how much difference does a player make Another option: Add a killer DAC for the two channel audio portion. Works for me. | |
| Review: REL Acoustics Britannia B-1 Subwoofer Jimmy2615,Thanks for posting that fine review. I still own a Rel Storm 3. Great unit. Footnote: I listen to some organ music, but have almost zero knowledge and sophistication about the genre. Almost all of what I've listened to has been something... | |
| Which speaker to buy. S allen,There certainly is something very, very special about a well built studio monitor. Several greats come to mind, in addition to the ones you mention above, none of which I've had the pleasure of hearing. People certainly seem to think highl... | |
| In-Depth Explanation of the Audio Term "Synergy" "Synergy is a very misused term in 'audiophilia' - most of the time people mean Complementary or 'compensates for'."Bob P.Bob P.,I think you're right about that. I stand corrected. | |
| Personal speaker evolution 1st: Some sort of General Electric system as a hand-me-down from my sister.2nd: Panasonic "Thrusters" with a passive radiator (1600 was in the model number).3rd: Paradigm 9SE 4th: Paradigm Studio 100 V 3 + Rel Storm 3 5th: Intuitive Design Summits... | |
| In-Depth Explanation of the Audio Term "Synergy" Ditto to what S7horton said. Only a couple of very general things to possibly elaborate on. The strengths and weaknesses should tend to compliment and cancel each other, to achieve meaningful synergy. For example, if you have an amplifier known to... |
