| Miles Davis The Original Mono CD's I ended up buying Miles at Newport 1958 to supplant the final disc in this box set. Is its audio quality as good as the box discs? Not quite, but I find the audio differences (including stereo vs. mono) less jolting than the piano stylings of Monk... | |
| So......what do you use under your speakers? Sistrum SP-101.The "freed" my speakers. The sound became more natural, relaxed, seemingly less constricted. I will never not use them.[url]http://cgim.audiogon.com/i/vs/i/f/1360329227.jpg[/url] | |
| Should I trust movers with my equipment? Never! I know people who packed extremely well. Bomb-proof well. The thing is, the boxes never showed up at their destination. So many unpredictable things can go wrong when the package leaves your possession. | |

I added two powered subs to mine because they are only the top three drivers of the Andra - they are missing the ... | |
| Thinking I need a Sub... Yes! If you are able, get two. Although I cannot comment on specific REL subs, I think all small monitors require subs. | |
| the greatest pop song ever? The Band's, "The Weight". | |
| Front Ported v. Rear Ported Speakers FWIW, I plugged my ports (EgglestonWorks Fontaines, dual rear ports) and raised the crossover points on my subs. It did seem to improve the clarity of the upper mids and HFs somewhat, but I lost too much of the "meat" of the sound to keep them thi... | |
| What music do you use to assess your system? I just realized I did not really answer your question. Sorry. I will try to find my auditioning discs and list the tracks, and why they were chosen. | |
| What music do you use to assess your system? I choose each style of music which I prefer.I choose excellent, mediocre, and poorly recorded tracks.I choose only tracks with which I am very familiar.I narrow my selections down to a reasonable number (12 or so).For each track, I listen only for... | |
