| Inheritance ($100K) with a caveat SO easy. Have your dealer set up various current models from Magnepan IN YOUR ROOM and couple them to as much Audio Research amplification and pre-amplification as you can fit into your budget without neglecting the source stuff--reasonable turnt... | |

| Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ? @vinyl_rules OPThanks for posting again what I have posted many times. As a former dealer myself, we had FOREVER to listen to various pieces when the door was locked and BOY, did I get a fast education.Yes, the 901's were amazingly bad--beyond ... | |
| What is your favorite album cover? @yyzsantabarbara You realize, of course, that that cover is a copy?Cheers! | |
| Has Anyone Ever Run TWO Identical Pairs of Speakers ? @jasonbourne52 You are correct. Stacked Advents were the bomb back in college. Henry Kloss was a great guy as well.Years later we found out that the speakers were pretty bad--there are MANY that are much worse, they they are pretty bad. You ha... | |
| What do $2500 speaker cables sound like? Uh, I would guess they SHOULD "sound" like nothing. Otherwise, you paid 2500 for something to add "sound" to your system?Exactly what "sound" were you looking to "add?"My customers were always trying to NOT "add" to the sound of their systems, but... | |
| phase linear 500 watt per chanell amp Sold them back in the day. They break. A lot.Cheers! | |
| So you think wire conductors in cables are directional? Think again... Every electron I have ever interviewed says...oh, never mind.Cheers! | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s I am in the market for a big TV. My 65" SHARP, which is at least 15 years old, is fine and hanging in the bedroom now and so far it is working fine.My new house has a place for an 85"+ screen, and my research says that the best picture is now the... | |
| What Is The Most Romantic Song That You Have Ever Listen To? So many good ones. Here are a few that have not been listed yet, I don't think. Some from my teen years, when romance is such a mystery--at least it was back then to me:Sixteen Candles--The CrestsYou Belong to Me--The DupreesOhh, Baby Baby--Smok... | |
| Wilson Audio Specialties Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker!! only $300,000.oo Now, these tall speakers, they could NOT be because Jim Winey figured out speakers in the 1970's could it?NAW! Who would think such a thing!If a pair of the latest Magnepan speakers does not satisfy you IN YOUR ROOM, buy a box of something else a... | |
| Do you care about car audio? Good post. In my daily driver, Corolla, I am finding that at 14 years old, the stock system is getting noisy, etc. I am thinking of replacing it. Issue is the speakers. Even 14 years ago you had to take the entire car apart to replace the fact... | |
| 6.5 vs 8 vs 10 woofer If you want bass, use a 24" Hartley in an appropriately designed box. Last one we built for Mark Levinson's HQD system was about 5' tall, 2' deep, and 3' wide made from 1.25" press board. It was on 4" casters as it weighed a few pounds, but if y... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component Long waste of time and space. Have your dealer set up a pair of Magneplaner’s correctly IN YOUR ROOM, forget all this stuff, and LISTEN. I don’t care what measurements you do, boxes distort and Maggies give you what you feed them.If you don’t like... |
