| Up to $4000US tower speakers for Jazz and Classical Music Overlooked truths about Magnepans: 1) As a line source dipole their power doesn't fall off like the usual inverse square law, 2X distance = -6dB level, it's more like -3dB so while still not efficient, in a 550ft2 room they will fill it better tha... | |
| Is There A Device For Home Use That Can Measure How Low The Bass In My Speakers Is? Lots of spectrum analyzer apps available for Android and iPhone. You can get an inexpensive calibrated mic from Parts Express. Pink noise can come from an app, CD or Vinyl. Do not use interstation noise. White noise from FM is equal energy per fr... | |
| Need some Cart recommendations, $300 - $700 (New/Used) range…warm, full, yet great def. You already own the clear class leader with the Hana SL. You might get different with a Grado or a Soundsmith, you might get value from an AT or Nagaoka or a Denon, but you're not going to get better than your Hana from any of those. That said, I ... | |
| which is a better speaker Not a fan of either. Pioneers had a nice tweeter, but that's about it. JBLs were built better, but boomy and hardh. Find a pair of JBL L-110s ca. 1980. Those are killer, will be very happy driven by a 2265B. JBL got all the pieces right - it was t... | |
| Can an HDMI output be converted into something a USB input would accept? When you go down the non-standard rabbit hole, don't be surprised if all you find at the bottom is rabbit turds. | |
| All New Magico A5 Loudspeakers // Biggest "BANG" For Your BUCK On The Market ?! News flash: because on average speaker cabinets have roughly 10X the surface area of the enclosed speaker element, the only have to move 1/10th as much before they're contributing just as much to the output as the driver. If they move 1/100th as m... | |
| 10k Towers with biggest soundstage? For under $10,000 nothing can come close to the Magnepan 3.7i. Add to that a good subwoofer like a REL s510. For image size, well, everything else is just some variation of a vibrating cone or two in a box. And sounds like it. At just under 6ft ta... | |
| Bookshelf dilemma KEF R3 - much more 'livable' than the LS50s. Like the difference between racing skiis and advanced recreational skiis. Racing skiis are ultimately more capable, but are very demanding - as a monitor should be. But they are not necessarily the most... | |
| What defines mid-fi versus high-end? 'Mid-Fi' is an arbitrary marketing term thrown about loosely by those with something to gain by creating artificial barriers to entry. And painting products, even entire brands with that brush, they hope to justify there own products and brands ex... | |
| Does Anyone Else Member the Golden Age of Audio Insults and Product Degradation? Common Hardon (Harman Kardon) Pee-in-Ear (Pioneer) Kornwood (Kenwood) Gerbils (JBL) Adverbs (Advent) Thorns (Thorens) Turdberg (Tandberg) | |
| Looking for an integrated amp to replace my Cayin A-50T Marantz PM7000N. All the analog and digital connectivity you could ask for, voice control if you wish, unflappable 60/80 w/Ch and impeccable reviews. I've also owned bone for over a year, and simply can't find a reason to upgrade, unless I wanted ... | |
| Best Rock Drummers There were no great rock drummers before Ringo Starr, Charlie Watts, and Keith Moon. Everyone, talented though they may be, who came after built on what they created. "If I have seen further than others it is because I stood on the shoulders of Gi... | |
| Favorite religious song "Spirit In The Sky" by Norman Greenbaum. Also the best fuzz guitar lick of all time. "Many Rivers To Cross" Also from "The Harder They Come" soundtrack and the best reggae album of all time. "Ave Maria" by Aaron Neville. If you don't hear the vo... | |
| What is the Bu-ray plauyer that you are using? I have a Panasonic DP UP820. One step down from the 900, it's half the price and the differences are mostly in the case, not the performance. Very satisfied - 4K discs lload quickly and have no playback issues I can tell on my 110" screen. | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? My first amp was a Marantz 1060 that I bought in 1972. After that I had separates from HK, McIntosh, Apt, Luxman, Adcom and several more until last year. Moving into a new house the clutter of separates had a SAF of 0.00. And while the audiophile ... |
