| Small family living room floor-standing speakers? agree on strange-looking result when mounting box-speakers on a wall. Totem has an entire line that is designed for wall mounting and these look pretty tight:http://totemacoustic.com/english/hi-fi/on-wall/RE Dreamcatcher vs. Arro, I would definite... | |
| Small family living room floor-standing speakers? Don't know if the Dreamcatcher is ported or not, I don't think it is, but I have front-ported B&W 685s and they sound better on stands than they do on the wall. I was more concerned about music, which has a much higher dynamic range than movie... | |
| What is the best compressed iTunes format? Mezmo, great tip about converting formats, I didn't know iTunes did that. I am just about to purchase an Apple TV so I can stream Netflix, and this will probably lead to upgrading my entire library to AIFF so I can push it into my Denon 3310's Bur... | |
| What is the best compressed iTunes format? auto-converting to AAC when synching the iPod is a checkbox you can click in the iPod's properties when you connect to the computer. This produces 128 kbps files. IMHO this bit rate is too low and you will hear a decrease in quality compared to 32... | |
| Small family living room floor-standing speakers? With speakers so close to the back wall, I would warn against anything that is rear-ported. Stick to front-ported models like PSB has. Otherwise you won't be able to use the speaker to its fullest potential; typically rear ports extend low frequen... | |
| Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences? Thnx Mb, will research/try-to-audition the Devore's. Have heard of them before. My current floor standers will not be my last...and to address the OP's subject, I think 22L2 2.5-way is a much better bet than 21L 2-way, sure its more expensive, but... | |
| Is this the END of DAYS for the high end CD player The following is paraphrased from some email correspondence I had with a close friend of mine:"...Is the CD format dead? I have just one response: vinyl.From the moment that (mini)cassettes hit the market, people were predicting the death of vinyl... | |
| Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences? I'd be interested to hear what other A'gon'rs think would best the Quads in their used price range (sub-$1000). My experience on my home systems is pretty limited (monitor audio and B&W), and I have only auditioned 2 other pairs of floor stand... | |
| Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences? Rrm - in my listening tests I never found the 22L2's to be bright. Music was Monolake (electronic), Heartless Bastards (garage rock), Black Keys, Dire Straits and of course Bowie. Some Bowie tracks tend to ring on my home systems, but they both fe... | |
| Quad 21L vs. 22L2 Sonic differences? I have never heard the 21L, but I have given the 22L2 several auditions and I prefered them over Focal 826 and B&W 683. The finish of the 22L2 is superb. The 21L is a 2-way, the 22L2 is a 2-and-a-half way speaker, as you probably know from the... | |
| What is the best compressed iTunes format? Apple AAC and apple lossless both use mpeg4 compression, apple lossless is simply compressed at a MUCH higher bit rate, and its variable compression. If you get into the specs, apple lossless has a bit rate of anywhere from 600kbps to 1100kbps, + ... | |
| best pre-amp new or used for under $500? UPDATE - bought a Halo P3 last February, used on A'gon. Very happy with it. | |
| Hi Fi in The Mechanic movie: what brand speakers? Ooh good question - who can ID the music?!? |
