| recomended musical sub for 2 channel audio ACI Titan for sure. IMO, it is the most musical of all subs I've heard: Rel, Martin Logan, Klipsch, B&W, Sunfire Jr., Polk. It is also the best looking and most versatile: continuously variable phase and cross-over. And if you don't like it yo... | |
| Speaker recommendations please I have a pair of EgglestonWorks Fontaines and love them. Deatailed, smooth, dreamy, responsive, superb bass quality, disappearing speakers. Pardon my morbidity, but if I knew I was eight minutes and 11 seconds from death, I'd insert Cannonball Add... | |
| cayin cdt 17a vs. consonance cd 2.2 I have not heard the Cayin but I have the Cons Ref 2.2 and I love it. It offers both balanced and unbalanced (tube) output, like the Cayin. Some music I use one, some the other - very versatile, though for detailed music I prefer the balanced. The... | |
| Good workout music for baby boomers One more excellent jump-starter: Detroit Cobras, "Mink, Rat, or Rabbit". If this doesn't get your feets movin', you dead. | |
| Good workout music for baby boomers Hello. My name is Dan. And I am a Boomer (just had my 50th last year). My favorite motivating CD as of late has been Motorhead, "Ace of Spades". To get my blood coarsing in double-time I also like Reverend Horton Heat, "Holy Roller", The Twistin' ... | |
| The subjectivity of speaker quality My wife is dumbfounded at how particular I am about the quality of my audio and how much time I spend in the hobby. She says, "Why the hell are you so engrossed in your music and system, when I KNOW you're deaf as a rock ... You never half of what... | |
| Newbie looking for system suggestions Were I starting out today fresh, I'd concentrate on investigating and auditioning U.S. built gear by well/semi-well established companies who sell only/mostly through the net and have lower overhead costs than blitzkrieg-advertised, mass-produced,... | |
| Where does your user name come from? My favorite kind of live performances are rock-a-billy bands (e.g., Twistin' Tarantulas, Lee Rocker, The Paladins, Frantic Flatops, Belmont Playboys, Rev. Horton Heat, etc.) Their performances are consistently: energetic, honest, wild, rough, sill... | |
| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? I doubt I am typical, but here goes:1. '93 Ford F250 V10 pickup. Why with gas > $2/gal? Think Oliver and Lisa Douglas.2. '93 Ford F250 V10 pickup. Why? Wife + horses = broke.3. Harley Davidson Fat Boy with a custom license plate which reads, "R... | |

| Who's Your Favorite Bass Players; Why? Normally I don't want to hear the bass player, just notice if he's gone. But there are exceptions:1. Scott LaFaro - because he is the greatest, most musical, most expressive, most talented player there ever was.2. Thomas Yearsley (formerly with Th... | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Miklorsmith,No tubes. All solid state gear. Maybe that was the problem. | |
| Are Zu Druids really good HE speakers? Tvad,Yikes! Good point. No harm intended toward unamed audio bud. I (me, I) just didn't get it. Perhaps I was experiencing an abnormally earwaxey kind of day. Yeah, that's it. | |
| suggestions cables for Andra by Eaglestoneworks Sounds like you have quite an awesome system. I too have speakers by EgglestonWorks, the Fontaines. These are the monitors which sit atop your Andra woofers. Personally, I do not believe all of the hype surrounding high-end cables: speaker, interc... | |
| Great sounding close to back wall speakers. My Eggleston Works Fontaines sound awesome at less than 24" from the wall (to the back of the speaker). But you'd have to find a pair used for your budget. |
