What do I buy? Klipsch vs. Definitive Technology
Bob-I'm not sure I can agree with you all the way on this one. the Deftechs present many challenges with placement: avoiding corner-loading, distance from the read wall, toe in etc. But the bass resonse is generally not one of the weaknesses.In ef... 
What do I buy? Klipsch vs. Definitive Technology
I guess I'm looking for is why you need a sub? What you have is formidable. Heck, you can just run speaker level to the 7006's- no crossover matching, placement worries or anything. It's one of the nice things about them.Unless you have a MONSTER ... 
What do I buy? Klipsch vs. Definitive Technology
"Am I making too big of a deal about this? If I get Def Tech surrounds, that is two more power cords right?"Nope. The surrounds are not powered, assuming you're looking at the dipole surrounds.I have to ask though- what is it about the 7006's that... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
yeah yeah, I know :)Sometimes it's hard to grasp how silly things sound until I see them in writing. It was a bit like bragging that my display light comes on...-P 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
It's always nice to read an update on the Ohm's on this thread.Right now I'm enjoying a Porcupine Tree binge on my Micro Walsh Talls. I'm even listening a little louder than usual-95 Db's peak. I still can't believe the way these little speakers f... 
Which songs/albums take you back to college?
I'm listening to one right now: Genesis, "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." Always reminds me of that girl I foolishly broke up with at Bowling Green State University (Ohio) in 1982...Others, in no particular order:King Crimson, "Red"Ultravox, "Rag... 
WD TV - has anyone tried one yet?
Any more feedback on using this for audio? This, and other devices like eGreat seem real popular with college kids and hackers. But is anyone using it for quality audio like FLAC?Jason- did you get a response from WD?-P 
Budget DAC vs new Player
Any update on what you're doing, Opteron?-P 
Can even a Novice hear differences in Sound Qualit
I dunno...6 months ago I would have dismissed Pettyofficer as rambling gibberish. But after upgrading my system and trying to listen to some favorite CD's, I feel his pain.I'm big on voting with my wallet, and I'm done buying inferior recordings, ... 
Berensford DAC
Any more recent experience from anyone with the Beresford? It's on my short-list of DACs, along with the Dacmagic and V-DAC.The fact that it is also a headphone amp is attractive. But what about sonic impressions?-P 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
Thanks! I really respect your point of view, especially since you can be contrarian with a sense of humor. You certainly help keep my conflicting thoughts honest.-P 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
Unsound- not sure I understand what you're referring to... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Bond-Pretty sure you'll be pleased with them. I'm not sure how you feel about the theory of the break-in period. I myself was a non-believer until I got the Micro Walsh Talls. They sounded great right out the box, but the tonal quality definitely ... 
Killing BluRay, new Oppo BR 83
Yes I do. I have nothing against BR per se- my decision was based on economics. I totally understand that the Oppo 83 is superior to what I ended up buying. It's also $410 more, and I can't justify the cost considering the size of my screen and la... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
And if I remember correctly, I believe Ohm still has updated models available for reduced cost or possibly some remaining S3's or Super 2-S3's, which are updated Ohm 2's. I wouldn't wait until Fall to give John a callBy the way, there is a nice lo...
