| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I'm not getting it either but we know that people don't like the same things. Maybe the question should read: "How do we get more people interested in audio".Anyway it is hard to imagine any Audiophile being completely satisfied with their current... | |
| HELP WITH A PREAMP DECISION Timrhu, I thought that toe-in is a big no,no. You might want to consider not doing that at all. But I could see how angling the speakers more towards the listener would create a much brighter/harder sound.Huntermusic, maybe the components are soun... | |
| About to buy a Wyred4Sound 1000 Watt Integrated Lrsky, I have a friend who owns Magnepans and paired them with a Wyred4Sound power amp, I believe it was the ST-500. In a most positive way he said it was a revelation! I personally have owned the ST-250 and it was one of the most transparent amps... | |
| Best amplifier for klipsch heresy 3 speakers. Curiousgeorge, the Odyssey Stratos (truly an overachiever at its modest price) would be a good choice, I have used one with horn speakers with great results. The other recommendation for a Mcintosh should also be considered as it tends to lean mor... | |

| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Yes, because it is cool and fun to own, built extremely well, and has its own unique in-house sound, makes it a worth while investment. We all have different tastes both in music and gear so one can't expect everyone to jump on the "I love Mcintos... | |

| Crown SA2 Amp I like Crown, especially their new stuff. Crown has been in business for sixty years and who would know more about building quality amps then Crown. I personally own a Crown XLS 1500 Class D switching amp, I'm very impressed with its soundstaging,... | |
| "Warm Sounding" Solid State Amplifiers I second the recommendation for Conrad Johnson solid state amps leaning towards a warmer sound, not to mention they sound superb especially when paired with a good tube preamp. One reviewer questioned as to why buy a Conrad Johnson tube amp when t... | |
| Sold in one day Taters, great bunch of people. They are very influential yet they are not elected by anyone and don't answer to anyone. | |
| Sold in one day Jmcgrogan2, I'm willing to bet that most people are financially impacted one way or another by previous and current economic conditions, some more so than others. Also I think that depressions, recessions, and wars are intentionally created to giv... | |
