Very inexpensive speakers for a 2nd system How about $100 for a pair of excellent speakers? Is that cheap enough for ya? They are DIY, but appear to be very simple - The Zimahornets - check out this great review:http://www.6moons.com/audioreviews/zigmahornet/zigmahornet.htmlDave Merrill sa... | |
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Shadorne - I can understand your skepticism. I too was an unbeliever about these small drivers/boxes. Granted, I have only heard them in a small room driven by a 10wpc chip amp (BYOB), but even there they astounded and confounded me. Their ability... | |
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Shadorne - curious, why not Horn Shoppes? | |
Speakers with high WAF? For furniture grade, drop dead gorgeous cabinets AND great audio reproduction, check out Jim Salk's work at http://www.salksound.com - no prettier cabinet work anywhere else. My wife approved mine prior to buying - different than Jim's, but still ... | |
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll Believe me now and hear me later, check out a pair of Hornshoppe Horns. I spent several hours with a pair the other day, driven by a BYOB (10 wpc) amp (with car battery). For me, the jury is still out on jazz and classical, but rock ... MAN THESE ... | |
Anyone else like Nick Drake ? And just so you don't get confused, Bonnie "Prince" Billy IS Will Oldham. | |
Anyone else like Nick Drake ? K,Love the Drake. Best comparo I can think of might be Iron & Wine, "The Creek Drank the Cradle" and "Our Endless Numbered Days". And maybe Bonnie "Prince" Billy, "Master and Everyone". All great stuff. | |
'best' surge protection? Jlamb - Yes, BrickWall is a ZeroSurge reseller. Call ZeroSurge on the phone and speak with them - very helpful folks. Sorry, don't know about SurgeX. | |
'best' surge protection? Brick Wall is a reseller of the ZeroSurge product. It is the same technology, just differently packaged. I use these and purchase directly from whomever is cheaper at the moment (factoring in shipping cost). The literature makes sense to me and th... | |
Speaker Recomendations $3000 If you prefer a warm easy sound with air & good detail then definitely hold out for a used pair of EgglestonWorks Fontains. After many other auditions this is the one IMO which best produces detail AND warmth. I listen to some of the same kind... | |
Determining reflection points I don't really have any corners to speak of, and since my room is large enough I've been told off-line by a knowledgable person that I don't have typical small-room bass issues, but I do have an 8' free standing wall about 3' behind my head I thin... | |
Freak Me Out Check out Material's "Hallucination Engine" CD - I'd describe it as Mid-Eastern Ambient Space Funk. Some of the players: Bill Laswell (producer as well), Boosty Collins, Sly Dunbar, Wayne Shorter, Bernie Worrell. Excellent freak out stuff. | |
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase No, but I do an excessive amount of preparation for how and what I will tell her. Get all of the possible retorts covered and reasons/methods to overcome them - sort of like computer software game theory. I am not opposed to attempts of guilting h... | |
Determining reflection points Thank you Mrjstark. That makes it easier.And thank you Duke. That may make it even easier. As always Duke, you rock! | |
Black Gospel With Good Sound I know you asked for well recorded, but James Cleveland's "Hallelujah: A Collection of His Finest Recordings" is too good to ignore. The sound may not be crystal clear, but the message of the Holy Spirit easily shines through to enormous satisfact... |
