| My room 12'x 9' with 8' ceilings will it sound OK? i'm in 12*11*8, and it sounded terrible. added 3 room lenses, and it sounds great.just find a dealer who'll let you test out various room treatments, as they're hit or miss. but yes, it can / will sound very very good if you do the work.rhyno | |
| Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout... let me just chime in on this.i own the amp that was the precursor to the JC1: CTC's BBQ. now for those of you who know who CTC is, the blowtorch is the last preamp you'll ever need. it is the reference by which others compare. and i do mean all ot... | |
| Merlin VSM - Are they in the real top league ? i'm an owner so take my bias as you will.i've heard lots of speakers, and a number do something better than merlins: whether its low bass, dynamic pop, low level detail, what have you. but the merlins do an awful lot right. they're not the best in... | |

| MERLIN OWNERS: Need Suggestions on Amps/Preamps i used to own a belles 350a which was a nice amp, but the CTC BBQ (reborn as the parasound JC1s) just ate it for breakfast. do take a look at these world class SS monoblocks---they are incredible.also, i used to own joule la100mk2---slow and thick... | |

| My wife is so uncool! yeah, i gotta wonder what you guys do in the whole pre-screening / selection process. my wife just gave me a TG Audio SLVR for x-mas, and we just rented a house...one of her first statements was "since it has 4 bedrooms, you'll finally have your d... | |
| Tweak: raising the subwoofer off the floor... works best w/ hard footers on front-firing subs. decoupling them from the floor improves articulation, but reduces volume. just turn the gain up & you'll be right back where you were, but tighter. | |

| Speakers that have holographic imaging on vocals.. it takes more than just speakers. you need to have some damn good upstream components (class A amp helps too). oh, and a great room helps.rockports do it. merlins do it. acapellas do it.rhyno | |
| Merlin VMS versus VMPS RM-40 versus Proac 3.8 sogoodif build quality is so good, is that why cheney had to service the first hundred or so midrange drivers on the RM40s? is that why he had to put a posting on harmonic discord describing how to resolder the midrange planars b/c the original so... | |
| Merlin VMS versus VMPS RM-40 versus Proac 3.8 i've not heard the VMPS, but they are getting some raves lately (see latest bound for sound). however, 2 things will keep me from ever owning those speakers:1) build quality is known to be low2) no highs when standing up --you have to sit down to ... | |
| Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma... what music is the strong suit of the ceramiques (1.0 in particular).w/ what i'm reading, i'm thinking they might not do well w/ rock & roll...but great for jazz / vocals.thanksrhyno | |
