| Lack of Lamm customer service? You may be getting ahead of yourself. I have always had good repair experiences with Lamm with reasonable turnaround time. | |
| Why are equipment racks so expensive? While the Lack is a very good shelf for next to nothing, Finite Elemente and SRA racks (examples I own) are better sounding and better pieces of furniture. I am not sure of the cost question. One is designed to be ultra cheap and mass manufacturer... | |
| How do you know if you need to add a sub (without auditioning one, I mean)? The ATC SCM40s have low frequency extension as good as any three-way speaker of their size and better quality bass than than nearly all at that price point. I know that model. The specifications ATC provides is a bit misleading because their speak... | |
| Do you care about car audio? I was in high school during the pinnacle of aftermarket car audio and enjoyed it. Now auto manufactures have made that less accessible with the computer integration and their options are generally lackluster. I do not do aftermarket because I do n... | |
| Holographic Soundstage ? Along with a few others' posts I really suspect your speakers are underpowered with the Raven. Loss of bass and scale is what happens with underpowered speakers. Wharfedale recommends 100-600 watts. Further, watts-sensivity-listening distance calc... | |
| CHALLENGE: Best speakers for playing 1812 Overture by Eric Kunzel with real CANON at 92+dB Both really funny responses. Thanks for the laugh. | |
| ATC SCM150 (or JBL Synthesis) (or JBL vintage) (or new Klipsch Jubilee) I appreciate ATC, but with my Synthesis ownership experience I would not currently be interested in an even more studio monitor type sound.

| Good 2 channel integrated amplifier for 702 s2 under 3k? I have a Hegel H160 with a pair of 707s. There is no offensive HF distortion, which B&Ws will all too easily broadcast with poor cabling and electronics. I also tried it with my JBLs with same results. It is nice sounding amp | |
| Selling my hubby's estate--B&W 805 D3: Speakers or Loudspeakers?? B&W (Bowers & Wilkins) 805 D3 Diamond Series Speakers with original stands (Pair)" Hi. This is a good title. Do not need to state "(Pair)" or "Speakers" , though. Buyers know what they are. Best of luck. If they are B&W factory stands,... | |
| Bookshelf speakers can work! Don’t limit yourself with dogma!That is a great point. On-paper issues shouldn’t stop the pursuit of an enjoyable system. It’s not that hard. | |
| Speakers for Computer There are models with a DAC and amplifier built in to the speakers and a large variety of inputs including wireless, ethernet USB, coax, toslink. Here are a couple examples, not that I have a personal opinion about them: https://audioengineusa.com... | |
| Opinions wanted: 10-30K Speakers for Jazz/Folk There are a lot. You don’t know me, but I may like these the most for lighter music:Soundlabs are amazingly transparent; easy and relaxing. My favorite sounding speaker and certainly the best ESL. No speaker is perfect. There is that hard "thawp" ... | |
| Tube Amp in Snowpiercer @j-wall totally agree. He is a little inept, but I sympathize with him hiding out in his stereo. | |
| Tube Amp in Snowpiercer The dad character in HBO's "Sharp Objects" dressed up like a preppy and listened to his Simaudio gear most of the season. Makes me want to buy their DACs. | |
