| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic , I (can) listen to classical rock, jazz, blues (except most tunes by John Lee Hooker) and classical music (except some operas). I listen with passion Emerson, Lake & Palmer, early Genesis (with Peter Gabriel), King Crimson, Led Zeppe... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mylogic Do more people hate certain recording artists than fans who actually love them You cannot know that. I don't care too much as I know that many things that I like most of the other people do not like, and not only issues related to ... | |

| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Hey, it to be easier to answer if you would ask to which artists I can listen to :) | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? @curiousjim Take care of your ears. Above sone threshold, the louder you listen the more is the distortion, you can note this even in live performances, more in home audio. I didn't put that track on my system but I can try if you are interested i... | |
| Unusual countries for audio gear E.g., Poland, Greece, the Baltic countries. | |
| How much power needed to drive 91db speakers? An amplifier power in Watts is not an absolute measure of power. A standard example, 50 watts in a tube amp can be equivalent to double of Watts in a solid state amplifier. My 5 Watts SET amplifier drives surprisingly good my 87 DB speakers, my no... | |
| What is the most overlooked consideration? Synergy is of course important but room acoustics can be definitive. | |
| What is a good all around high quality speaker to purchase? You should be kidding when comparing Thiel speakers with Bose and Polk Audio speakers or having a wrong amplifier. Thiel 3.7s have outstanding mid and high frequencies, low frequencies are a bit weak. If you want deeper base, look for CS 6s or CS... | |
| Can using a bad tube hurt an amplifier? Yes. My SET amp was damaged (the capacitor below the tube and then other things, it was not easy to repair it) when an El-34 tube was blown up. In fact, I was in front of the amp watching how the tube was blown up, I powered the amp down but the ... | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? @westcoastaudiophile , in most of the sonic aspects including the power (per dolar of price - although it is well understandable that one cannot compare the real power per-watt, in general, of any SS amp with that of a tube one). The distortion... | |
| Genesis Genesis without Gabriel is like the Modern Jazz Quartet without Milt Jackson. | |
| Genesis Just note that Collins learned singing from Gabriel, it is quite clear Gabriel's influence on Collins formation. And I like more Genesis early albums with Peter Gabriel. | |
| Mid level listening Both things combine perfectly well. A good sound quality rises the degree of the enjoyment. | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? You can certainly have a class D amplifier which is better than many class A ones. Look at this as a gift of technology that gives you almost miracle results in terms of a cost, weight, size and energy consumption. |
