| Listening volume Mofi, you describe the problem perfectly.Sadly, I never could afford the custom made listening room I need.Also, I never found a remote sensitive to dial it in either. | |
| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? True Frogman I thought of that when starting this post but could not have expressed it as well as you have.I remember being frozen like a deer in the headlights. when I first heard Martin's Violin Concerto on the radio back in the seventies. I did... | |
| Anyone else remember this? Yamaha and Nakamichi made some Pre-amps with tuner that were like this, I had a Nak, IMO best looking piece I ever had and musical as well.I was very active in Audio at the time, highly doubt any receivers like that were ever made. | |
| Listening volume Every speaker Has some limit where it will compress, My Totems are only speaker I ever saw where this limit is statedin specs, for my small monitors its listed at 103 db.Everyone runs into this, some just don't realize it. | |

| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? Map, you are right of course.But from the perspective of one who hears the footsteps of the Grim Reaper coming ever closer, what Classical can do for you at its greatest, say ,a Bach Cantata, The Monteverdi Vespers, a Josquin Desprez Mass,a Bruckn... | |
| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? Not likely , If Britten wasn't already SO well known he would have been my choice, is my choice for best of 20th with Bartok a close second. But many are coming to that conclusion , so I went for Martinu .Brownsfan, do you think I'd be smarter to ... | |
| Most underrated composer of 20th Century? Well Map, IMHO because there is only so many hours we have on this earth to listen and the good is the enemy of the best.But then I'm senile. |
