| Amir and Blind Testing The analytical mind isn't binary. It's not on vs. off, but more a matter of degrees. Sometimes the mind, regardless of listening mode, has a clearly formed opinion and other times things are kind of opaque. All of which leads me to believe that... | |
| Frequency Response Polkalover, the loudspeaker you are considering doesn't do really loud, let alone ear bleeding. Keep that in mind. The bass response is spec'd at 45Hz for a -3dB rolloff as measured anechoic. With room boost that should give you very usable bas... | |
| How to make small room sound bigger You cannot make the room sound bigger. If you do a comprehensive acoustic treatment along the likes of what erik-squires suggests, you will get smoother frequency response, better dynamics and better soundstage/imaging. A larger sound image in t... | |
| What is your favorite cover? Bob Dylan's cover of Jimi Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower". | |
| Frequency Response It depends upon how the loudspeaker was measured, your taste in music and how loud you listen. I'll tell you why if you divulge the name of the loudspeaker and the size of your listening room. | |
| What stereo equipment do respected musicians listen to? Actually JCPenney's MCS equipment was rebranded Japanese products and in many cases was very high quality. I believed they used Technics, Nikko and Toshiba products. Don't confuse they with Sears stuff. | |
| Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned? JBL Paragon stereo loudspeaker. Frank Sinatra had three of them for home playback of his studio recording tapes. They were originally intended as the center channel for a three channel playback system with JBL Hartsfields as the L/R. | |

Which also means they may not be. Sometimes different is just different, not better/worse and sometimes not even music... | |

| Law of Accelerated Returns There have been several times in my audio journey when I listened to a system that was beyond my ability to fully process it. Over time and with experience, our brain fine tunes itself to discern the differences in fidelity. The differences I... | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns @simonmoon, I fully agree. I have limited experience with certain classes of components. I've never heard a $15,000 phono cartridge, $200,000+ turntables, $150,000+ loudspeakers or for that matter really expensive cables. The bulk of my listeni... | |
| A Suggestion Regarding Removal Of Posts Some people seem to think they can just say anything on Audiogon and not be judged accordingly. Using this thread as an example, I as the OP would have nipped all the cancel culture talk right from the get go if what I proposed were implemented. ... | |
| Neil Young calls out Tidal There was no “misinformation “. Perfectly Orwellian. | |
| Law of Accelerated Returns Guilty as charged. Of all the possible things to experience before I die, listening to state of the art audio systems isn't at the top of the program. Call me pedestrian, but systems in the $35 to 75k area are pretty good. | |
| Those who seek to deny access to information tomic601, great example, that dude has his act totally together. I wish I was more like him. |
