| Does the"quality" of jumpers affect the sound? Drubin, I'm pretty sure every manufacturer that offers their speaker in a biwire version believes it absolutely makes a difference. Otherwise, why would they spend the extra money?In my opinion, switching out the stock jumpers does make a difference. | |
| Wilson Alexandria X2s in small room I can't help but think that Wilson told you they would work so they could sell another pair of X-2's. I'd be tempted to trust the dealers in this case. It seems like the WP8 might be a better choice in a room that size. The width and height are la... | |
| Alternatives to the Paradigm S4? Not concerned about the so-called Revel power issue. This is one of these "I heard on the internet one time..." kind of statements.Actually it's not. I've owned two pairs of M20's and one pair of F30's. It has nothing to do with what I heard on th... | |
| lack of interest Pawlowski, you are not 100% correct. Someone could still have a wanted piece of gear at a good price. It could be that the people that want it couldn't afford it (no matter if it was a good price) or it could be that the right buyer hasn't come al... | |
| lack of interest I've had the same issue with speakers lately. I had what seems to be a wanted speaker, and it was the latest version, just recently introduced. I basically had to give them away. I think part of that is the market, and the other part of it is that... | |
| Best XM from marantz st7100 or Polk xrt12 I have XM and love it in my truck, but I don't think it's for the audiophile system. Like Narrod pointed out, way too much compression. | |
| B&W 805 to 804 If you are thinking of buying the newer 804S and not the Nautilus 804, I'd say yes, go for it. It would be a real nice upgrade and I don't think your room size will be a hinderance. | |
| Alternatives to the Paradigm S4? Why are you dead set on Neodymium magnets? Also, I would say the Revels are fairly power hungary. Having owned both the M20's and the F30's.You never said what your budget was. | |
| Is it double taxation? anytime a sale takes place, the government is allowed to get their share. Double taxation? Sure, could have been taxed 6, or 7, or 8 or more times. If what you state is true, used car dealers would never have sales tax added to their sale. | |
| Why so much trade in Audience AU24 I would never buy anything just because there is a lot of movement on audiogon. | |
| Monitors vs. Floorstanders - What an eye opener It's my opinion that every audiophile should "learn" how to listen on a set of monitors before advancing to a floor standing speaker. | |
| good old tuners going obsolete yeah, turntables became worthless too, once MP3 became the standard. | |
| Break in period No, no, no. I've heard that business about "getting adjusted to the sound," and it's nonsensewell, I'm glad your opinion is fact. | |
| Break in period I'm guessing the "sounding good out of the box, then sounding bad" has to do with you getting adjusted to the sound. It's new, you want it to sound good, so it does. Then reality hits and you actually listen to the component. Break can't have a "t... | |
| What sounds best integrated or separates? People that think that you can buy separates for the same price as an integrated are confused. That's the point of an integrated. Mcpody, there are plenty of 1500 dollar integrateds that are fantastic, and I'll bet atleast one in this world can be... |
