Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Just curious,  Why Speakers in such a high price range?  Price does not always mean better sound.  I can appreciate you can afford it.  Sony even makes speakers in that price range.  There are a range of wonderful sounding speakers before exceedin... 
Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes?
Power is relative.  My wife has a Mini Audio system. Cheap,Cheap!  For what it is a $300.00 complete 10 CD changer, Radio, and 6" small bookshelf speakers.  It is rated at 100W RMS/ channel. the unit will get very loud, however it has no balls.  I... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Why would core power technology be any better than a 2400w Tripp Lite power conditioner?  DC current will not pass through an isolation transformer.  This device also monitors and adjusts for low voltage down to 89V and over voltage up to 149v.  I... 
Really satisfied???
You have a system I could only dream of having.  Several things I have learned.1. Some people are never satisied. They want a different system because they have much money and this is a hobby. Why not?  It may be they just want a change in sound. ... 
Is there any danger in leaving a class D amp on unattended for ten days?
I would not leave electronics ’on’ unattended without power condtioning. Who knows what might happen if the power goes out. High frequecy noise spikes could damage your system becaue it is digital not unlike a computer. A legacy power amp would be... 
New system has fatiguing, harsh high frequency sounds. How to fix?
1. Another person mentioned a break in period for the speakers.Correct! Very, very, important. Pound them with bass within reason to loosen the woofers. Just play it all day at low volume all day for the tweets and mid for a weekAnd I bet they wil... 
Musician vs. audiophile
If you do not like the sound of McIntosh and Martin Logan then you are in the minority.  I loved them when hearing a demo.  As a musician your wife has tuned ears.  I am the same.  Not only the music but the accuracy of instruments sounding as liv... 
Annoying sounds from cars at stop light
I agree with the person with the buzzing trunk lid. Anyone that would turn up the bass loud enough to buzz the back trunk lid like a passive radiator has a mental issue. (Compensating for something?)  These situations can be heard almost a block a... 
The Levinson Sound?
I listened to a Leveson model ML 3 back in the 80s.  Nothing I have heard has ever had the low end Majesty and out right authority with clear crisp dynamics.  Absolutely silence between each note in great detail with instruments sounding spot on. ... 
What is your favorite budget audio component?
My favorite budget component is a crown DC150 A series II I got in trade for labor.  I removed a woofer and reconed it for my church. I cleaned up the old Leslie and made sure the belts and lube were good.  They had a slightly used DC 150 II sitti... 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
Klipsch horn speakers have been loved by many peple since 1946 and thought of as one of the best speakers for the price.  They have lasted the test of time. If people did not love them they would have stopped production year s ago.  Personal taste... 
Stay away from the nad
NAD used to be good stuff.  I am sorry to hear your experience.  Why did NAD not offer to make it good?I enjoy my 45 year old Crown International DC150A series II   everyday.  Also use a 40 year old Crown SL1  PL1 every day.  Still sounds great.  ... 
Class D = Trash?
Laugh if you want.  You can Spend $10,000 or you can spend a few thousand.  The Crown International Drive core 2 amps are cheap and have many turning in their esoteric amps. Lexicon uses Crown Drive Core technology.   Was compared against Emotiva ... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
What matters most in speaker cable is that you have the proper gauge for the type of power you are delivering to your speakers.  The greater distance and power deliver will demand a higher gauge.  P / IE   What the expensive speaker wire companies...
