| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? "... if a speaker is really good at classical music, it will be good with metal too."I kinda disagree. IMHO classical is very a forgiving music genre (from a tonal perspective). I've heard classical well-reproduced on Quads and Maggies and Martin ... | |
| What is the best HEAVY METAL speaker? I'd stay away from horn, electrostats and planners.IMHO, metal needs critically-damped, very articulate dynamic (cone) speakers driven by solid-state that can really control the speakers. You can lessen the requirements of the amp if you high-pass... | |

| REM by MTV Phasecorrect, you have to admit "Life's Rich Pageant" is a close #3. Then the brief moments of brilliance began. | |
| Opinions on Pioneer CS series speakers If you want a pair because you think they are cool or you can get them on the cheap, by all means do so. If you want them because you think they are a great set of speakers...I think your money would be better spend elsewhere.This is coming from a... | |
| Serious distortion from Rega RP1 Have you checked your VTF? | |
| Stylus cleaner The SoundSmith recommends dipping the stylus into FunTak. | |
| Himalayan SALT Lamp I have a flickering flame lightbulb in the salt lamp in my listening room. A lightbulb of higher wattage made the lamp too bright and distracting. Love it. | |

| Sloped baffle BTW, I never thought about drivers not being time-coherent. What does that mean? I thought time misalignment was between/among drivers.Let's look at just 2 of the physical components of a driver (imagine a midrange driver): the cone and the suspen... | |
| Sloped baffle I'm a fan of time-and-phase coherent speakers (and a GMA owner). Just want to throw that out there...One correction to the conversation - single-driver speakers are NOT time-and-phase coherent. They would be if the speaker operates as a perfect-pi... | |
| The year is 1986 Love it!My son still uses my late-80's Onkyo receiver (I did have the power supply rebuilt - it's been powered up constantly for the past 12 years). I unfortunately ditched my Boston Acoustics A60s Series II speakers during a move (didn't realize ... | |

| Opinions on the Acoustic Research M 6 floorstander Granted, I haven't heard them since, oh...1994, and my reference of "high end" at the time was the likes of Boston Acoustics, but I recall them being very fun speakers. I'd crank New Order's "Technique" through them at the dealer. I really wanted ... |
