| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? OK well this thread has been very well received, thanks again to everyone for the feedback. Some further comments and answers to questions below: @mbmi Yes, I intend to check out Next Level and the X3 sometime soon! @hysteve I hope you are ... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Hi everyone, Great to see so much participation, thanks much for this. I just want to reinforce of course I want to listen first, but as many of you have acknowledged it’s not always possible. Heck I live in Chicago and there are some brands that... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Thanks everyone. @erik_squires @tablejockey you guys are looking at the upstairs system, this question is more for my downstairs. @vonhelmholtz interesting question. Haven't tried without but can tell you I've consciously ruled out some spe... | |
| New Band: Mac Saturn That first one I didn’t care much for, but am very glad I clicked on the second one. If that live one spoke to you I’d recommend Neal Francis, very much an up and coming act out of Chicago. Was supposed to open for the Black Puma’s a couple summe... | |
| Picking Speakers 20k-30k @brewerslaw sending you a PM as you are somewhat local. I'm in a similar boat and will be watching your search closely. | |
| So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu? While I’m not one to scoff at the Moody Blues (On the Threshold of a Dream as good as anything from the era) or anything 60’s related, this thread needs some modern touches. Check out The National, Wilco, The War on Drugs, and Wooden Shjips just t... | |
| So many YouTube clips to evaluate sound quality. Why??? Agree in principle but will add that the YouTube demo of Gaia feet was/is impressive. Also pushed me to appreciate Steely Dan! | |
| Speaker cables bi wiring for front towers Kimber makes a great value cable inside your budget. | |
| Can we create a consensus list of the TONALITY of different amps/preamps/brands? I have to disagree. I think it’s a worthwhile exercise and the people here can largely be trusted. I think most of what you wrote @hoodjem is spot on. | |
| U2 Songs of Surrender @hodu I would say I have a lifelong affinity for them, and that JT and AB are among my favorite records of all time. That said, when it comes to intersecting this hobby I'm disappointed even with the work of Eno/Lanois, who i normally worship whe... | |
| U2 Songs of Surrender @rpeluso your impressions match mine. Seems like there is a lot to dig into with this one....and I only listened on my tube setup! Can't wait to see the detail and imaging downstairs. | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? For me I consider myself lucky if i get one good listening session per week in. I've found when I over do it is when I start to find faults that aren't really there....there really can be too much of a good thing for this guy. It's not unlike ... | |

| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range @balooo2 OK so what are you going to put in the signal chain along with said power amp? Others have asked above and seem confused also. Further, the example you cited in your original post is in fact an integrated so you'd see why we might be ... | |
| HELP!!!! Newbie looking for a decent 2 channel power amp in the $1,000 range @balooo2 I know you are a noob, but FYI I believe you are looking for an integrated amp, not a power amp. You are getting recommendations for both but just wanted to clarify. A power amp alone won't really help you. I'm with others on the Par... |
