| Thiel Owners Yes, it was I who preferred the 3.5 over the 3.6 for a number of quite personal reasons. (Ain’t they all?)Like most folks would logically assume, moving up the Thiel line means mo’ better everything, correct?While there was absolutely nothing to f... | |
| Are you getting ridiculous offers from new members I’ve gotten ridiculously low offers from members WITH 100% positive feedback here so it ain’t just the newbies that are testing the resolve of sellers. Very few of the fellow members with 100% positive feedback here tendered their “offers” through... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I once owned for quite a long time a pair of Klipsch Epic CF-3’s that, over the years, began to grate on me in terms of the treble from the compression horn tweeter. They were, I think, 103db sensitive so it didn’t take much to drive them and, at... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant...They musta been sold. Just checked. I still have all the guts from that last pair - drivers, crossovers, bass eq. The mids are shot and will require fix. Hmmmm | |
| Talk but not walk? Even myself, a self-described audiot who doesn’t know a mosfet from a misfit recognizes the validity of tuning a room, as well as many of the other tweaks and suggestions that I’ve read about over the last five years since I’ve joined. Why do mus... | |
| Thiel Owners thieliste...While I cannot offer an opinion on a MODWRIGHT KWI-200 SE with Thiel, I can offer one on the Modwright KWI-200 non-SE which I purchased used here from a fellow member a couple of months ago. 200 watts @ 8ohms, 400 watts @ 4ohms. 100% ... | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! Blood, Sweat & Tears....equally appropriate! | |
| Perhaps we should stick with midfi... Nothing wrong with sticking to “mid-fi.”I’ve been in the wine biz for 35 years now. Sometimes the best glass of wine is just a glass of wine - and ought to be. I taste/sample thousands of wines in any given year so I have a reference point for wha... | |
| Audio valuations While the A’gon Bluebook is a fairly valid reference point for determining what is a “fair” price to sell something at, that it doesn’t offer an insight as to the item’s condition at time of sale leaves a pretty wide degree of latitude for making ... | |
| High End is Dead? ...”Remember when?... All it takes is hearing that first note on a higher quality sound system and you are hooked...”Oh yeah. That’s IT! (Lucy shouting as Schroeder angrily pounds Jingle Bells on the keyboard)A crazy high school English teacher ... | |
| New Tweak --- Its Fantastic Before I started my A’gon addiction about 5 years ago my introduction to “hi-fi” - or so I presumed - began in 1994 with the purchase of a pair of Klipsch Epic Series CF-3 floorstanding loudspeakers. I had just purchased my current residence and w... | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! Man, Soylent Green!I believe that was Edward G. Robinson’s final film - no pun intended. However, the recycling into vinyl thing does present a problem for some of us who’ve grown up with the religious sentiment - and I paraphrase - that we are in... | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! As Steven Wright once said...“I plan to live forever.” (Glances down at his watch)”So far, so good.” | |
| New way for audiophiles to die! Hmmm....I actually admire the recycling/reincarnation aspect of it as well as the possibility of someone being more useful post mortem, not to mention finally getting a jacket that fits better than the one I might wear in the casket! Packaged lik... | |
| Greatest rhythm sections bdp24...I started getting into Bill Frisell a couple of years ago and I’ve since been busy digging the living hell out of him. Frisell draws you into his music. I listen intently, almost intensely to his playing trying to figure out how he figur... |
