| Widening Soundstage Try a mono center speaker bleeding the signal from the left and right channels. You will need a mono amp and speaker with similar quality as your stereo setup. You will be surprised what you have been missing when you gradually turn up that center... | |
| Best movie for subwoofer test ? Earthquake...No contest! Earthquakes can generate frequency waves far below the range of any subwoofer? But it's nice to hear them try and handle it. | |
| Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Go with horns? Absolutely! For Rock And Roll, you need Klipsch LaScalas. From experience I can tell you that Chorus or Fortes are no match for the LaScalas. You can get a nice pair of LaScalas here today at Audiogon for around $1,500. They are fin... | |
| whoom instead of BOOM Bag End is a good choice, but keep in mind that in order to get the deep bass (down to 8Hz), you will also have to get an electronic device which is called an "Infra Integrator" and that will be an additional $1000. Otherwise the woofer will only ... | |
| Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers? Mitch4t,Two center speaker arrangement would be best in your case, because of the fact that the center speaker is on it's side and the drivers are not aligned vertically. However, by putting the two speakers on their sides in a mirror image arrang... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all I am willing to concede to the winner of the Randi challenge. This is going to be very interesting. All of the endless debating at Audiogon will come to a head at the conclusion of this contest. Perhaps a lot of high end cable companies will be go... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all I've never seen someone get so upset about trying to rationalize wasting so much money on something that make so little difference. | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all Leica Man,I envy your articulatory satire skills; however, you missed the whole point of my comments. To me it's a waste hard earned money investing in cable which have subtleties beyond my range of hearing. Personally I would rather spend my mone... | |

| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all I was recently a sucker for the cable hype, but was enlightened by a person who requested that I remove all of my high end Nordost Cable and replace it with Monster Cable to see if I noticed any loss in quality of sound. To my surprise after a wee... | |
| Why so expensive?? Anybody can look at high end stereo magazines, search for the most expensive components, and buy them to get the best sound. A great sounding system can also be obtained at a fraction of the cost by researching on Audiogon, and other websites. Aft... | |
| Horn Speakers At a $1500 budget, your choices are very limited. You may want to keep your present speakers and add a high end self powered subwoofer with a crossover point set at the low frequencies that you are missing, perhaps 100 or 80 Hertz. Also add an L-p... | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor Viridian, It's great to see a 'Goner with a sense of humor. By the way, I'm 63 with no bald spots or even thinning hair. I guess I'm one of the fortunate few. Never the less, I have to admire you for your creativity. As they say, toshay! | |
| WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor I love La-Z-Boy recliners; my wife hates La-Z-Boy recliners, but loves soft safas. I love sitting close to the big screen TV and stereo; my wife hates sitting close to the big screen TV and stereo, but loves elevated seating. Solutiion: Stadium Se... | |
| Passive Pre Recommendations I think that I am the fourth to recommend the Placette Passive Preamp. Maybe we are trying to tell you something. If the preamp gets loud too fast, Guy will add an extra resistor to put your normal listening range at the mid point at no extra cost... |
