| What frequency do I crossover subs Due to way too many variables, there is no way to figure out on paper what is the optimum crossover point for subs in your room. I followed this method successfully: set the point at which my mains were rated -3db on the low end, dialed in phase a... | |
| MC 275 tube amps with what speakers ? I have read (never heard) that Eggleston Works Andras sound good with these amps (search this and Speaker forum). While I have not heard this specific combination, I will say that the Egglestons are among my favorite speakers. While I own and love... | |
| Speakers to consider around 5k used? Where are you located? | |
| building the best system I can? Had I $5k cash and a pair of $1300 speakers (regardless of make) I'd first listen to a boat load of other speakers (in the $4k to $3k range, new/used) to verify that I really do like them best. I'd likely lean towards selling the speakers and usin... | |

| Rory Gallagher Original Album Classics You should then also enjoy him with Taste, "On the Boards".Also get his two live releases, "Live in Europe" and "Irish Tour". Great stuff! | |
| Taming edge from remastered CDs? Rarely any edge for me. Carefull built my system on reproducing clearly with no edge for one and only input: CDs. There still are some which can make my ears bleed if played too loud, but they were so poorly recorded or remastered they are hopeles... | |
| Over 55? - You Gotta See This I'm over 55. What the hell's a "youtube"? | |
| How much does your system retail for? About twice what I paid. The only two items I paid retail for are preamp and one sub (first of two). The preamp is a steal at retail, so no regrets there. My second sub (same model as my first) was less than half retail from same manufacturer so w... | |
