| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Sorry OP but I don't think the Heresys are your cup of tea. I have a pair of H3s and I have run them with a number of amps including Quicksilver mini-monos. The Heresys do not image all that well and need a little juice to get bouncing. A sub does... | |
| Would "Sgt. Pepper's" be a better album if..... I'm going to stand up for Ringo as always providing a nice musical break.My favorites include "An Octopus's Garden" and "Goodnight" | |
| Latest bin find.....Elton John I actually like "Caribou" even though the critics didn't. | |
| Latest bin find.....Elton John Plenty of other good albums from Elton, give them a second chance. | |
| What type of Audio Gal or Guy are you? Do You Know? It's all about the music. Your system doesn't have to measure perfect, it just has to sound good. | |
| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? I'm a big fan but I wont sugar coat it. The Maggies MUST be placed well into the room (5 feet minimum), they just don't work if you have them 2 feet out. This is an important consideration. Your 100wpc amp may or may not be enough power, that is u... | |
| Too Many Forums asking about how to improve ones system, etc. If a guy wants an upgrade, it's pretty easy to steer them in the right direction, the same way my audio dealer steered me in the right direction when I was young. I don't make a recommendation unless it's a giant step up, a change that a deaf pers... | |
| Small room electrostat/ planar speaker? I run Martin-Logans Electromotion ESLs in a small room with 25 watt Quicksilver tube amps. The ESLs do not have to be pulled out as far as Maggies do. I have mine in a cross corner location and the bass is amazing and the little amps drive the spe... | |
| Is Anything Really "Future-Proof"? Back to mono! | |
| Has anyone considered rebuying a speaker you once owned?? Triangle Celius 202s. My buddy has them now and wont sell them back to me. So I bought a new pair of Triangle Antal EZs. Someday I might wipe out my regret and buy a pair of Signature Alphas, that should do it. | |
| Anybody used Nikko amps before? I was the first post to this thread in 2003. My nephew now has my Nikko Alpha VI arc welder and it's still chugging away. That's about 30 years so far! | |
| Brightest but shortest artistic bursts in the sky "Even more disappointing than "Satanic Majesties Request" by the Stones."A psychedelic classic. "Like a Rainbow" "Sing This All Together" and "2000 Light Years From Home" being the best songs. | |
| Tell Us about an Album That Took a Long Time to Grow on You I'm still not sure I have warmed up to Ummagumma. Maybe in another 50 years it will grow on me? I'm sure there were some albums that were a slow burn but I just can't remember which ones, seriously. Most of the time, I can tell in the first 5 minu... | |
| Kef LS50 - can it handle a subwoofer properly? Within the limits of the LS-50 it works fine. I ran two Hsu 10 inchers but one is almost as good. | |
| Did Pomona Ever Have Heart? It's a song about the labels on orange crates and grape crates. The lyric is Ramona and Sonoma not Pomona, and yes Ramona is a quaint little town. |
