| thinking of buying used Dynaudio contour 5.4to replace totem Forest with 2 Rel 9x ‘s. I used to own a pair of the Dynaudio 5.4 and thought they definitely needed a sub and were way too revealing for my tastes. As long it is was great recording and most anything but rock, they sounded good but otherwise? I also own a pair of Totem... | |
| Soft-dome tweeter damage - NBD or permanently compromised? I accidentally pushed in one of my tweeters moving the speaker and believe me, my heart sank and thought the worst as these were NOT cheap speakers. I got some tape and very gently got the dome returned to it's original shape, it sounds fine, and... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? I agree with quite a few of these like Dylan ( I like a few songs) Bruce S., like someone else said Tori Amos and all those other gals from that era. Rap, country, most females singers period as I'm a 90% instrumental person. | |
| I am sad There are not too many threads I can read thru the whole way like I did this one so thanks to all for the entertainment. And good luck getting your amp fixed Samurryex. | |
| Speakers sound too bright. I remember when I bought a pair of speakers that were the same brand I had but an upgraded pair that I thought sounded too bright. Turning down the treble fixed that for me. I don't believe a speakers changes sonic characteristics after a period ... | |
| One of my favorite bands, one that many have never heard. OMG, I totally forgot about NRBQ and one of my favorite songs of all time. A Little Bit Of Bad Sounds Good To Me. Thanks for the memory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aZsXku2Fto | |
| Bose 901 Review Well Done. I remember a friend bought a pair and back then was under the impression that they were fantastic speakers and didn't know any better. That is until I listened to them. Was NOT impressed in the least so maybe he didn't have them set up right? Some... | |
| New Magico Speaker Break-in Question I upgraded my speakers a few years ago and even tho it was the same brand, the newer more expensive ones also had that problem. Tweeter sounded harsh to me. Two or three notches down on the treble control on the pre-amp solved that. | |
| $3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ? My preferences are several I currently own like my mains PMC, small garage system Totem, and den system Sonus Faber ,but have quite of bit more power driving them than the 60 watts per channel so that might be a problem. I rotate a pair Monitor A... | |
| Do you think driver “break in” is real? there is no way I would argue a point that most people believe as it sure won't change anyone's mind. Whether it happened or not, my stuff never changed in sound if it did. | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? Idris Muhammad "Power of Soul" Climax Blues Band " Shine On" Steppenwolf "7" | |
| Wall outlets I agree with mc1969. The placebo affect can be an amazing thing, especially when there is money involved and other like minded people. | |
| Energy Veritas 2.8.speaker best paired to which amp and preamp I personally am running a Mcintosh right now but have used a Kinergetics and started out with a hefty B&K and to be honest, couldn’t tell that much difference in the sound but I didn’t really do anything serious listening comparisons. Some of... | |
| Did I do a good thing or not? I still use one of those I bought new way back when and also have the original stylus plus an album that came with it. Can't remember what was on that album but one of these days I'll dig it to find out. I do remember it had a pic of a tonearm wit... | |
| Energy Veritas 2.8.speaker best paired to which amp and preamp I think either would be ok but since you can't have too much power for the most part and if you don't mind spending the extra money, go for the larger amp. Those are fairly inefficient speakers. BTW, my speakers are rated at 87db and have tried 4... |
