| Computer Speakers Must say I LOVE my Adam F7 actives (front ported) for my desk set up. That AMT tweeter is sublime. Not just Powered, but active - one amp per driver.https://www.amazon.com/Adam-Audio-Powered-Studio-Monitor/dp/B00DIF3SOY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=... | |
| Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time? I am currently on my second self-imposed long-term break from my system and I HATE it! First time was for several months when we put our home up for sale. Boxed it all up and put in storage so as not to offend any potential buyers' delicate sensib... | |
| Subwoofer failings and their use-related reasons I've owned my pair of ACI Titan subs (12" driver; plate amp) for many years, continuously powered on, and have not had any issues (knock on wood). However: I am no bass freak, their freq. response are set with intent of being flat; I don't use the... | |
| How important is component “aesthetics” to you? Not at all. I would run a pair of paper plates as speaker drivers connected to a potato as an amplifier if it sounded better than my current gear. Although I admit I haven't yet tried that combination. | |
| Lee Morgan Documentary Awesome! Thank you for the heads up on this Mitch4t! Will watch for it. | |
| Zu def 4 are they the best speaker made? Answer to original post: No. My opinion (with my ears, brain, etc.), of course. | |
| use same speakers for music and home theater Try it and hear for yourself. It is an easy and free experiment. Doubt anyone could state factually that it would not be a good match without having heard them together. | |
| Mono recordings For the most part not much IMO. Stereo done correctly, whether in original recording or not, sounds better to me nearly all of the time because of the spatial and dimensional aspect of the sounds which stereo provides. Which sounds more life like.... | |

| Eggleston Works Andra II speakers as forever speakers. I've had my EgglestonWorks Fontaines (smaller brother of the Andras) for over 10 years, have demoed many speakers more and less expensive, before and since, yet I still prefer my Eggys. I really don't see swapping them out. So sure, at least for m... | |
| Tube Preamp Recommendations? Does this mean these provide less detail at the expense of more midrange bloom?I experience no less detail with mine, but it depends on the tubes you install. For mine, one set of 6SN7s bloomed the midrange and fuzzed up the detail, while another ... | |
| Suggestions to help you sell your equipment on Audiogon Another suggestion: If you gear needs a minimal amount of repair/refurbish, get it done before you try and sell. I roll my eyes when someone says their gear is missing a minor part that can be easily repaired cheaply. Well, if it is so easy and ch... | |

| Upgrading path from Merlin VSM black magic When I imagine a larger sounding version of the VSM speakers I think of the EgglestonWorks Andra. I own the Fontaines which, to me, sound similar to the VSM (without the BAT), and seem to have similar physical makeup. I thought the Fontaines sound... | |
| Worst record ever? How come Bruce Jenner never took a stab at singing?Golden opportunity missed! Wouldn’t it have been terrifically bad had Bruce laid down tracks for an album before his transformation, then as Caitlyn Marie, added harmony to the mix. The first ever... |
