A black sex pistols maybe? A lot of rap or hip-hop which BEP purports to be ends up selling out. Most 'rap' I cant st... | |

In that order.Any good (they are not all) speakers at $4000 are going to reveal all the faults of the source and amplification. And I would go for near-new used gear on Audiogon t... | |

| Grant Fidelity LS3/5A - opinions True dat. I think the patent's run out so it's poetic/moot. In any event the drivers are different for sure.To answer the OPs question, bass is a major deficiency. They didn't get the superintendent pounding on your door. An extended cabinet versi... | |
| Grant Fidelity LS3/5A - opinions Haven't heard them but had some Chartwells for a time. Some discussion about it at the audio asylum:http://www.audioasylum.com/audio/speakers/messages/29/291439.htmlOn one hand, any originals still kicking around have to be a little tired. On the ... | |
| music hall cd 25.2 problem In addition to the cleaning suggestion, try also burning a copy of the CD, then see what happens when you play the copy. Very often it cures the problem (minute nicks or dirt on the surface of the original......) | |
| Another great thing about analog...... The peeps in Boston are just so damned friendly and by Gosh that Beatniks store in Montreal is a peach. I have been there many times and found good stuff, my wife in particular raids the back (country) room. I did find several good stores in Bosto... | |
