| Can anyone recommend a shipper? I've had the best results with heavy items using Bax Global.See www.baxglobal.com for an estimate. Using their BaxSaver shipping, you can get a pair of heavy speakers across the country and delivered in 3 days. They've never damaged anything I've ... | |
| Anyone heard the Meadowlark Blue Herons ? I had a pair of Blue Herons until I lost my job earlier this year and was forced to sell them. They were the best high-end speaker I'd owned. As with any speaker, how they sound depends upon the upstream gear and the room. Given that caveat, I lov... | |
| Mobile Fidelity Sound labs Question Just a note: I was recently at a friend's house listening to his MoFi version of Guns N' Roses' Appetite for Destruction. It sounded awful: no bass and screetchy. I happened to have my MoFi copy in my car (we were going to see their show) and brou... | |
| ButtKickers. Experience Anyone? You could always marry my ex-wife and get your butt kicked for free. But, on second thought, that would end up costing way more than $799.00 | |

| Attention: Dunlavy Audio Labs out of business Although I am sorry to see yet another manufacturer go toes up, I can see how that could happen to Dunlavy. Their speakers have always gotten excellent reviews, but are just not practical for a lot of listeners. To meet my needs for deep bass, I w... | |

| Should I upgrade my Krell FPB 200c to cx300? Well, you actually sort of lose either way. If you don't upgrade, you'll be wondering how much better it would have sounded. If you do upgrade, you're out the cash.A third alternative is to send the amp to me. This costs less than an upgrade and s... | |
| Members without scruples- a continuation Here's a tip on how to post negative feedback on Ebay without repercussions:Auction feedback can be posted up to 90 days after the close of an auction. If you were screwed by the seller and want to post negative feedback, but fear an unwarranted b... | |
| Members without scruples- a continuation Although the thread topic primarily addresses potential fraud, I've found that some legitimate dealers seriously inflate their own feedback. As you probably know, many dealers cultivate shills to sell for them. This way the dealer can unload a slo... | |
| Has anyone heard the Usher Audio Speakers I heard the 8871's at Goldman Audio in a system that consisted of a Rowland Model 10, Rowland Synergy 2, and Bel Canto 2 DAC. I was simply bowled over. I am strongly considering ordering the 8571 because they are smaller and would fit in my room b... | |
| Suggestions for bare wood floor resonance control Thanks for the posts. I guess what I was digging for was a tad more general... What I've observed (I'm not scientific or want to be) is that with a large immobile mass like a concrete slab it is best to nail everything to it with cones, points and... | |
| Has anyone used the Electro Harmonix 6550 tubes ? I bought a set as replacements for the stock Sovtek KT-88's in a Rogue 88 amp. Huuuge improvement in sound, not even close. They sounded fantastic. Made me wonder why Rogue didn't just offer them as stock in the amp. As the above post says, more t... | |
| Talon Khorus with no soundstage? I owned a pair of Talon Khorus for eight months. I would describe the soundstage of the Khorus as similar to Spendors. Very coherent, but not location-specific.The speakers have their strengths, but also some serious weaknesses. The primary proble... |
