| Austin Texas area Audio folks? I live in Cibolo, TX. | |
| Lesson Learned Sometimes I feel like "we" are partly responsible for hyping the differences between components. As I mature in this hobby, I'm trying hard to identify differences without exaggerating them. After all, small improvements can equate to thousands of... | |
| B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II auxinput,I really enjoy them, but one man's medicine is another man's poison! We have a crazy, crazy hobby! | |
| B&W D3 vs. Monitor Audio Platinum II I own Monitor Audio PL500 IIs, after owning Wilson Audio Sophia 2s, 3s, Sasha Is, Revel F52s, Revel F208s, Aerial 7Ts, and many more. To "my" ears the PL500 IIs are the most chameleon like speakers I've ever owned. They provide what the recording ... | |
| Lesson Learned bigkidz,I'm 100% positive the dealer was the only one of the four that actually heard the Jeff Rowland 625 S2. That shouldn't surprise anyone. I would guess that upwards of 75%, give or take a few percentage points, have never listened to the comp... | |
| Lesson Learned I agree that we are limited to what we have access to. I'm lucky to have a very good friend that happens to be a dealer. That being said, he doesn't carry much of what I prefer, but it still gives me an opportunity to hear a lot more gear that mos... | |
| Lesson Learned G.You would be right to post: I TOLD YOU DON'T DO IT OR I TOLD YOU SO! I really appreciate all of your advice, but it's reassuring to hear something and let your own ears determine the outcome. I'm looking at a few options regarding power cords an... | |
| Lesson Learned inna,There are an infinite amount of combinations that we can come up with; how many cable manufactures are there? My post wasn't about a component being good or bad or trying every conceivable combination in the world. My post is about taking ev... | |
| Lesson Learned My other message is to hopefully get "us" to stop talking "at each other " and arguing about individual opinions. We want what we like to be the end all best and God forbid, someone prefers something else, they can't hear or they're crazy. We shou... | |
| Lesson Learned mitch2,They weren't Class D amplifiers. | |
| Lesson Learned onhwy61,I'm satisfied with my system, but I think out loud. I've had my Rowland components for almost two years. I will tinker with power cords and other tweaks. My speakers, music server, and Rowland components are here to stay for the foreseeabl... | |
| Lesson Learned david_ten,"One aspect that we tend to overlook or not give enough weight to is our 'relationship' to the system and it's sound. Once connected, it can be difficult to walk away...yet there are others who like to 'date' a lot of equipment and have ... | |
| Lesson Learned inna,You said, "different amps may require different cables to sound their best." Yes Sir, you are correct, that's why I said my finding doesn't mean their recommendations are invalid. My conclusion just means that I prefer a different sound and/o... | |
| The Music Room If you're referring to TMR in Colorado, yes they are legit. I purchased a used Monitor Audio PLC 350 from them. They went out of their way to send me an upgraded jumper cable, because the original jumper cable didn't come with the center channel.... | |
| Devialet for Wilson Audio Sasha 2 Speakers Dave,After being in sales for many years I see things from a different perspective. My experience allows me to respect and understand where you a coming from. Where we differ is a matter of semantics...you say "better", I say "preferred". At this ... |
