| Vandersteen Treo vs Harbeth 30.1 I have only heard the quatros and 30.1 at RMAF. Given the obvious bandwidth difference and lack of time listening not a great comparison, but I'll throw it out there. In that demo the quatros were great except for a lower midrange suckout that mad... | |
| Afraid to buy new speakers AudioKinesis Prisma or AudioKinesis Rhythm Prism are a couple designed for it. I have heard the latter in a small room and they were good. I do not know what you have been reading, but there are a variety that will do fine against a wall. Easy exa... | |
| Your jaw dropping cables "Did you have any jaw dropping experience with any type of cable?"This has as much to do with the poor quality of the initial cable as it is does with jaw dropping cable. | |
| Sony - What were you thinking? To me it seems like a functionally improved Bryston BDP-2 and a step in the right direction. I am with Onhwy61. I would be far more apt to purchase it if I had some assurance I could audiophile it. May not be a great way to think about it, though.... | |
| Auto audio This takes me back to my CD35z. I agree Eclipse was the only unit as good. I don't think McIntosh makes car audio equipment anymore, and I doubt the sound quality of any brands has improved since I was last looking years ago. Even then there were ... | |
| Help for my return to vinyl -- $2K rig. My stereo is a step down from yours, and I have been down this road in the past with a rig in that price range. I currently am saving and waiting. Vinyl is great, but the gear adds up in comparison to a one-box CDP. | |
| Your top 3 worst purchases ever The worst of my purchases were early on:1)I bought a pair of those direct-reflecting bose 501 to replace my $50 Pioneer two-ways, and returned them. Man, they were awful.2)I did not realize how bad my (home-made) flexy rack sounded until it was re... | |
| Affordable Newer Speakers KEF LS50s are awesome, new-generation speakers. | |

| 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 ... | |
| What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps Class A amps from Bully Sound Company | |
| 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... |
