| Magnepan 1.7 and Klipsch R-120SW "If anyone has been successful with this combination or any other , would you please share proper settings, crossover, phase and gain?" No one can possibly(correctly) do any of that, without being IN the room, with YOUR system. | |

| Solar storm 6-12 and 13 Having plastered my sound room’s walls, ceiling and floor, with monster neodymium magnets, hopefully: it’s personal Magnetosphere will protect my electronics from damage(long as everything’s unplugged). The installation only cost my helper three f... | |
| Dealers and exaggerated treble bigkidz (+1) Speaker systems, in general, are more accurate/transparent than in the past. That means; one’s more likely to be put on notice, of anything that’s strident/bright/screwed up(in any way) upstream(GIGO). | |

| Dealers and exaggerated treble When I had my shoppe(early 80’s) in Winter Park, Fl; a customer wondered how my 10", two-ways might sound, compared to the Boston Acoustics, that a local competitor carried. He wondered if he could borrow a pair to take to their location. Came bac... | |
| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree? @jsautter - YEP! All that, "casting" is just a waste of keystrokes. Yet; it can be entertaining. | |

| An Audiophile is Anyone Who Loves Audio Regardless of Monetary Status. Agree?

As long as you, "love"(phile=suffix), WHATEVER your might be listening to, or... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! @larryrs- "....hyperbolic"? What was it, that Hirsch, "relied on", besides measurements? His other, "reference"? OH, YEAH: "sounds". Once again(from his pen): " I’ve never listened to live music, but- I have a pretty good idea what it sounds like.... | |
| Bi amp pros out there I could use some help! First time Bi Amping... The op amps are only in circuit below the crossover point. There's just one capacitor(I used polypropylene) between the preamp and mains(notwithstanding the extra connections/cabling). I wasn't using a preamp at the last, but a Placette Passiv... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! "Perhaps there are some who are interested in both the measurements and the listening.", and- as I stated, "That also explains why he had followers....". My last post directly addressed that statement and the prior, "Does it though?". Measurements... | |
| All the old issues of Stereo Review are online!! Of course it does. People will always gravitate, toward those with like opinions/references/experience(not to mention: aural acuity, or- lack thereof). | |
