| Anyone tighten the bolts surrounding the drivers? I did it when my speakers were twelve years old. I had to stuff stripped threads with match sticks to re-tighten some screws. Expected to, but I did not hear a difference. I probably should have. My grills are easily damaged going off-and-on, so n... | |
| Speakers vs. headphones Over your stated budget by $500, the KEF LS50s are exceptional at their price. They may redefine what is possible at that price point for a limited bandwidth speaker. They are advertised to work well in small rooms. Headphones is a very different ... | |

| Lottery Winner would buy what kind of Stereo Gear Because even at their best various speaker designs have their pros and cons, I would buy two or three systems, which makes me feel gluttonous just thinking about it. But seriously, probably YG Acoustics and Sanders Sound or Soundlabs and turntable... | |
| AXPONA anyone? Good job on your first show, Sonic Hemisphere. I heard your monitors. Their sound is very well balanced; they are extremely competitive at their pricepoint. | |
| Some Axpona thoughts Raks, maybe they were not broken in. I remember listening to the silver pair saturday an loving it. Not as enjoyable Friday but still liked them. Take my memory with a grain of salt. I do not remember the speaker color Friday, probably black. I al... | |
| AXPONA anyone? Sounds good, thanks! | |

| Lay away purchase Agree with Viridian's trepidation. Too much play/gray area in this kind of arrangement for me. How late is too late for a payment? Even though its layway, you would be in the collections business. How is that for a hobby? | |
| Short Run .5M Interconnect on a budget? Tough to say. An option is 47 Labs OTA Storatos Cable and two sets RCA plugs for total of $300. In short runs, they are tonally superior - imo, in my system - than Museaus, but do not provide the pitch black background. | |

| how well Quad303 amp mates with B&W dm303's ? Ideally they could use more power, although the DM303s are not super picky. I use them with an NAD 314. They sound fine with my limited expectations but sound fuller with my 75 watt amp. If the Quad's output dumps at lower impedance, that effect i... | |
| Magico/YG Both brands will be at axpona. The YG, including Carmel, did very well in the hotel room at RMAF. | |
| Less listings Less gear that I regularly search for seems to be for sale. Because the searching is so much worse now than before, its tough to say. I conclude that the obvious increase in commercial, non-hobbiest listings has displaced the more earnest ads by u... |
