| Sub $500 CDP Like to hear folks' thoughts on a PS2 player (cd/dvd) or a PS3 (BR/CD/DVD) with respect to this thread. THe PS2 is $100 and is reputed to be a good player and people rave about the PS3 (at $299) as a BR player. Is the music performance below stand... | |
| Looking for a good subwoofer I looked at the velodyne and JL-F112 and selected the JL. To me it was a bit better controlled. I understand that other factors could have played in this like room treatments. I have not listened to a REL critically so no opinion there. I have bee... | |
| Buy new TV now or wait for 3D technology? If you want a new TV now I'd go for it. Some really good suggestions above. Theres no reason to expect that 3D will be out/available/reasonablypriced anytime soon. I remember a coworker about 10 or 12 years ago passed on getting a new car because ... | |
| Paradigm Studio 10 or Monitor 7 V 5? note that there is a S2 on the ads right now.sale number1257214526 | |
| Recommended components on Stereophile Magazine. one thing to keep in mind with respect to the review world is what their drivers are. Im not an expert on stereo magazines or review sites but I do know quite alot on the motorcycle review world and I'm willing to bet they are very similar. In the... | |
| Forward Monitor with Detail Speed and liquid Highs +1 on the C1's. I was really surprised how big they sounded and how detailed. Out of my wallet range though. | |
| bookshelf speaker Earthquake for $2k you could easily get floor standers if desired? if you really want bookshelves that budget will really buy you some nice ones. I had some thoughts but I notice that you want them by the wall so my ideas blow. Looks like front po... | |
| Do Old CD Players Require Servicing Like Amps? one minor note. lasers are not all the same. the fail rate is, all things equal, a function of output power. More output, faster to fail. Systems that are read only and simple as possible will last the longest (read, many thousands of hours. maybe... | |
| Paradigm Studio 10 or Monitor 7 V 5? Studios if paradigm is your brand. the monitors are OK but to me they sounded a bit harsh and (can I say crunchy??) not as smooth. If not comitted to studios $1k will find lots of nice speakers (totem and era leap to mind from my recent review exp... | |
| JL Audio f112 or f113 sub? now that makes lots more sense. I was coming from the place where the output just doubled and I was living in a tent by my wreckage. | |
| your reference dvd Sort of depends on what you want to demonstrate right? For me to show all around sound and its emotional impact I 2nd The Dark Knight. To scare folks with my sub Nothing beats the last hour of the Matrix-Revelations (aka Matrix 3) | |
| Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel? I wonder if technology since '02 could have changed the answer to this question a bit. I always thought that 2 channel would be better for fidelity than multi. In general that does seem to be the case with my stuff and most of my music. I do on th... | |
| Best speakers for my MC225 under $2000 right now there are some vienna Mozart and Bach units for sale in your range in the classifieds. I noted some dynaudio contour 2 units that look nice. both of these are pretty nice all around units. I also saw some Dali Helicon 400 MKii speakers i... | |
| JL Audio f112 or f113 sub? I'm not the most experienced fellow on here but I gotta laugh at the idea of two F112's in the same room. Mine knocks crap off shelves on the other side of the house, turns my wifes closet door into a giant passive radiator for base in her office,... | |
| Peachtree Nova Speakers While I think about it the Totem's (Mites and the next model up in size) sound very nice as well. Not to dis the Paradigms I found the ERA and Totem models a distinct improvement to my ears over the Titans and Studio 20's. |
