| Paradigm Mini Monitors vs. B&W ? I don't think there is much comparison. B&W is more open & less distorted. Relative to the 600s (and others) the minis lump all the sounds together and reluctantly spew them out. It may be a bit more subtle than that, but it's true. Beside... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Is the consensous among the 'mid-fi' camp that the Nautilus line sounds worse than the Matrix, that other manufacturers that are now making better speakers, or that B&W was never particularly good? | |
| Can I start some trouble? Compared to less costly cables? In most legitimate situations, no. Quality comes at a premium. There are certainly instances, however, where a more costly cable is less probable of being 'better' (as in better i am refering to 'more of nothing'.) ... | |
| MC cartridge that best mates with RB300 arm.... If you go DV-20x, get the high output. Getting the LO is pointless with the P3/300, and a bit risky, sonically. Personally i'd get the 10x4, and possibly put the rest towards a Heavyweight or save it to partially pay for a TT or wire upgrade. Good... | |
| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? I am intersted in knowing what Mikez finds better than B&W at the vaious price points. I have owned the speakers in the lower B&W ranges. I bought them after comparing them to true mid-fis like Paradigm and Klipsch. I can see why someone m... | |
| Newbie Pre-Amp choices ? Another question is, what other components make up your system?PS- I see this as another expensive hobby ;)That's for damn sure. A stereo is like mugger. Welcome to the 'gon. | |
| Best Audio AND Video stores in Dallas/FW? Audio Concepts at Preston and Forest and audioconceptsonline.com They are relatively new to HT ( a couple years or so), so they still lean towards stereo.I have found this store to be the best in Dallas.If you go to Stereo East, you will see Hillc... | |
| BEST Speakers for the BANG around 2K "Ljgj remember its not about the money BUT about research"What 'it' is mostly about is first-hand knowledge, a far more powerful, precise and reliable tool than words on the internet. I do not care for claims without reference(on a few levels in t... | |
| Audio stores in my area... Have you tried the yellow pages? Just about all of my dealers are listed under 'stereo'. | |
| Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why? Their car amps are very good. Actually that is what popped in my head when I read the title to this thread. I was not haapy when my CA dealer stopped carrying Mac. Cited the reason as Mac not being hip or cheap enough for the kiddies. I am not as ... | |
| Hobby or Lifestyle? Music is more of a lifestyle and audio is more of a hobby. Music is the end of a means that is audio. And all the aspects of audio (e.g. buying, discussing, assembling system) are intrinsically enjoyable. There couldn't be a better hobby. | |
| Can you help or do I have to get divorced? B&W LM-1 (Leisure Monitor) can screw right in to a wall. | |
| Inexpensive Amp and Speakers Hey, I am with you. NIN is a personal fave. It is not that your room is too small, what struck me was that two of the dimensions were the same (15'). You may want to do some research on room demension and bass and the integration of a sub with mon... | |
| Inexpensive Amp and Speakers Most amps do not have crossovers. Tough to say whether you would like the 302s or not. Compared to their competitors, they are slow to get confused, but they do not like to be played very loud. There is also a recessed region in the lower midrange... | |
