| Ribbon Tweeters and Animal Hair My last system was Ascend’s Towers and Horizon Raal with Sierra 2’s as surrounds. We have two Australian Shepard’s and never had any problem. I loved that system. I stepped it up To a Legacy system now but those Ascends were sweet. | |
| What speakers are shown in the movie The Counselor? Wonder what those big speakers were in the Netflix series Breaking Bad. (Jessies house). | |
| High end Class D amps? Am I the only one on here that has Legacy's new IV* Amps?. Kind of surprised their not mentioned. I have a IV*5 for my center and surrounds/rears, with a IV*2 mono block for my mains, which are Focus SE's. It's all Legacy, Phantoms for sides and D... | |
| Name a few albums which helped determine your musical tastes I remember the late night after getting off work at midnight . A friend told me to try Genesis new album Trick of the Tail, I had picked it up but never had a chance to play it. I came home and in a dark room fired that album up. Stunningly amazed... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab My son has a complete Revel system, and I auditioned the Tektons. Different models though. He has the next class down F35 and F36's with the 110 V2 Subs. I sent my Double Impacts back as I didn't think much of them and I LOVE his Revels. | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers My wife and I are in a middle income tax bracket. Spending stupid money on my hi fi desires has always been a touchy subject. She likes the sound of quality stuff, just has way too level a head on her shoulders to spend beyond our means. Two years... | |
| High end Class D amps? Check out Legacy’s new IV Class D amps. I have a V5 for my surround’s and a V2 for my mains. Coming from an ATI 6005 Signature series. Very satisfied. They run cool and absolutely no transformer hum; | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Bought two of them at the same time. ELO, and Foghats Fool For The City in 75 or 76 . I actually had 8 tracks before I had albums. My parents did not have a record player, so when I purchased my first car in 72 I started on 8 tracks. | |
| Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ?? I demoed the Double Impacts with upgrades. Sent them back as I ended up with all Legacy system. I was searching for a more dynamic system than my Ascend Acoustics with the Raal Tweets. The Legacy’s filled that search. Sounds like Tekton is taking ... | |

| Best debut album Nobody's mentioned Eddie Moneys self titled first album. The one with Two Tickets to Paradise and Baby Hold On. The entire album was worth listening, and we played the heck out of it. Not up there with Bostons debut, but noteworthy | |
| What do you think causes the crackle and clicks we hear? After 36 years, and now retirement making breakfast cereal. Rice Crispys as a matter of fact. We ran that stuff seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Keep buying them, you will be helping my union pension ... LOL | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world Crack The Sky was from right down the road. I just can't believe they didn't make it bigger. Very talented bunch of guys | |
| Wow an old album that rocked your world tvad9Trick of the Tail is just about the top of my list also. I remember the night, after getting home at midnight from 2’nd shift in our local factory, that I first took that album of of the sleeve and put it on my Marantz turntable. I had never ... |
