Speakers for Creek 5230SE Int. Amp.

etymotic 4P earphones
I started out with the Etymotic ER6's and just could not understand what all the raves were about with these earphones. I felt that just about everything was off with the sound and on top of it, I found them uncomfortable. Granted the ER6's are th...

rock and roll fantasy single
Ben:You're not being pedantic at all ... though that is a 5 EURO ($4 USD) word for a Sunday morning. When I was checking the authorship of the song, I was surprised to find entire web-sites devoted to how the song came about and what it means. The...

Denon AVR 2803... Should I add an amp?
In just about all cases, a separate amplifier would be better for music than a HT receiver. I owned a Denon AVR 2801 a few years ago and I found that its performance was pretty lackluster when it came to music, but was more than acceptable when it... 
How to evaluate speakers?

Best Low Budget Speakers
Lonewolf:Eric's choice of power source has not been finalized yet. Eric has had a few threads here over the last few weeks that have been exploring the feasibility of using the 8 wattt output from his newly purchased 42 inch Plasma TV to power a p... 
Beattles song question
George: "I'll Be Back" is on the Beatles' Hard Day's Night album (UK version; blue cover), as well as on Beatles '65. FWIW, the Buckinghams did a version in 1968 that was arguably better.Regards, Rich 
How to evaluate speakers?
You have to do a lot of listening, that is the only way to tell. Try some of the following recordings for some very specific evaluations:1. Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" on the "Time Out" album. At about 2:45 into the recording there is an extended d...
