| Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy? .If audiophile speakers were described here as trophy wives, owning a set of Klipsch speakers is like marrying your 18-year old second cousin from Kentucky - it's not illegal, but is considered unseemly and undignified. priceless. | |
| How to read speaker sensitivity rating? .Bug,Yes, those are the exact specs that I used, which is why this whole thread started. I bi-amp my Kappa 9's with four 900 wpc @ 4 ohm monoblocs. I did not understand what those specs meant, but I do know that they looked very similar to the spe... | |
| How to read speaker sensitivity rating? .Jdoris, an auditon trip to Utah is certainly under consideration. There are several speakers that I am considering. All of them require a plane ticket for me to audition them at their location. The freight to get them to me in Los Angeles will be... | |
| How to read speaker sensitivity rating? .Z-man,Not pulling your leg here. the reason that I'm asking is that I own several pairs of Infinity Kappa 9 speakers. They are notorious amp-killers. I read the specs on them and it says 102 db. Well the logic seems that if everyone knows that th... | |
| How to read speaker sensitivity rating? .Okay, assuming the nominal impedance for both speakers is 4 ohms. Does that mean the one rated at 78 db will play louder than the one rated at 102 db at the same power?I've seen a few discussions here about the difficulty of some speakers to be d... | |
| Rhapsody dropouts on SqueezeBox .I turned it off for a few days because it was un-listenable....I turned it back on today and all is well and it sounds as good as new.. | |
| Sony SCD-XA5400ES-Best SACD for under $10,000 .03-02-11: ZmanastronomyHas anyone noticed the OP hasn't chimed in since he started this thread ? That's odd.Zmanastronomy, your observation has some merit. I believe the original poster was a shill. All of that bluster and not one response to all... | |
| Looking for a Preamp up to $3K . Audio Research LS-10. A monster of a preamp for about $2k. It is the best solid state preamp they ever made. It sold for $5,500 new. They rarely come up for sale, if you see one, grab it quick.. | |
| Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did??? .I really don't care one way or the other. I run solid state monoblocs because I cannot afford the same amount of power in tube amps. I run a tube preamp because I like the way the preamp sounds. If I found a ss preamp in the same price range that... | |
| Rhapsody dropouts on SqueezeBox .I got several responses on the Rhapsody public forum with several users having the same problem. No real consistent fix has been found for it yet. . | |
| Digital inputs in high end 2-channel preamps .Okay, I'll fess up. I'm an Audio Research fan through and through. I was hoping that AR would do this in their Reference series preamps going forward. As Onhwy61 said above, they could build it into the preamp in a modular fashion whereby they co... | |
| Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ?? .High end sound is the best stereo that you've ever heard. I had a Sansui 771 reciever, generic 12 inch three way speakers and a Technics turntable. With that system, no one could tell me that I wasn't a hi-fi baddass. It was high end as I knew it... | |
| Rhapsody dropouts on SqueezeBox .By the way, I have the SqueezeBox 3, I do not have the SqueezeBox Touch.. | |
| Rhapsody dropouts on SqueezeBox .Winger, I have run Rhapsody for three years with no problems until recently. I checked my internet speed and all is well. Also, I stream internet radio stations at 192 kbps and have no problem there either. When I stream movies from NetFlix I don... | |
| Is it possible to get Hi-end sound ?? .George, GET OUT NOW! If you stay you will surely become infected. No one gets away clean. Everyone starts out like you wanting to get in on the cheap. They start out that way and wake up two or three years later and wonder what the hell happened ... |
