| Speaker and amp pairing JMO, but I just bought a different amp that I always wanted to replace an amp that was still doing good after all these years but moved it to a den system. Both good quality amps. Could tell NO difference in sound coming out of the speakers. I'm... | |
| JBL L112 Wow what memories. My first pair of real speakers were the L112's powered by a Sansui AU-X1 and would give anything to have that system back. And to think, I sold that stuff to a buddy dirt cheap just so I could get into home theater. No way I'd... | |
| easy listening for small/medium bright room I've owned several PMC speakers including the TB2 monitor and have never thought of them being harsh in the high notes, just the opposite actually as I have tinnitus myself and have never like overly bright speakers. Now my current ones (PB1i) ar... | |
| What's your dream speaker? I don't know how I could ever say what would be my dream speaker since there is absolutley no way to listen to practially anything these days and haven't heard a whole lot of different ones. On paper and from things I've read it would be a higher... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? I always wanted some Mcintosh equipment for some reason and finally bought an amp and preamp several months ago. Doesn't sound any better than the B&K stuff I replaced but like the looks and love the tone controls but way simpler for the old l... | |
| So I just bought a Hegel H390 and Older thread and you may have already bought your speakers by now but I just bought a used pair or totem speakers that I think sound fantastic and if I were in the market for new towers, I would definitely check them out. Very pleasing highs, not ... | |
| The grace digital link internet radio You got that right audioguy especially as I spent an hour or two trying to figure out why it disappeared only to read online today that Pandora has discontinued support for older grace digital products. I just hooked up an old laptop to my pre-amp... | |
| The grace digital link internet radio I have one of the older units and as of yesterday, will no longer play Pandora which is mainly what I listened to.Now have to search for a few decent internet radio stations or buy something different. | |
| Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way? I'm in the camp that the KEF LS50 is way over rated for the price. I have a pair of Ascend Acoustics CBM-170 that sound almost as good for a third of the price. Years ago I had a pair of Walsh Ohm towers that sure never did it for me and were expe... | |
| What did your system look like 30 years ago? My 1st real system was a Dual CS5000 with Shure V15 MR that I still own. JBL L112's. Sansui AU-X1 with Audio control EQ. Sansui TU-919 tuner.And to think, I practically gave this stuff away to get into home theater. | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? I think mine was a Paul Revere and the Raiders album. Later on when I got a job I would head out almost weekly to buy a new record of all places, 3D store, about all we had at the time.I was into jazz at the time and liked Billy Cobham and bought ... | |
| Songs that make your system sound AWSOME! Anything by Dead Can Dance, Steely Dan, or Johnny A! | |
| Am I out of my mind? #obsessed I'd try that stuff for scratches that you use for auto's. It works on them somewhat and I'm sure it would help. | |
| Where do you buy your CDs these days? You can't beat Half Priced Books and occasionally Goodwill but since I've added Pandora and Spotify, I rarely buy CD's anymore and have tons I don't even listen to. | |
| Are systems genre dependent? I can relate to this thread. Back years ago when I decided to really upgrade my system I bought some rather expensive, at least to me, Dynaudio speakers that sounded simply wonderful with about anything BUT rock. Problem was, I was still into rock... |
