| which amp for legacy focus Hello Dave,I have a pair of Legacy Classics that I have biamped and monoed. I can't speak for the Focus but I prefer my Classics in a biamp arrangment. I used a pair of Adcom 565 monos for about a year and never did really like them as much as I d... | |
| Speaking of scams, how does Paypal work.... Paypal has always worked great for me as well. They now accept American Express. Amex will always withold payment if a cardholder protests a payment. I have only done this twice thru the years but they stood beside me both times.Another thing I ha... | |
| Tyler Linbrook Monitor I bought some amp and equipment stands from Tyler and drove to Kentucky to pick them up. I have listened to the Soliloquy 5.0 and 5.3 and listened to the Taylo Reference Monitor while I was at Tyler. The Taylo is better in every way for me. The ba... | |
| Aerial vs. Revel At this price point you might want to throw Dunlavy into the mix. I am also auditioning new equipment right now for a 2-channel/HT combo. Mine is more like 70-30 in favor of 2-channel. The best I have heard so far is a combo of Dunlavy IV's with a... | |
| Home theater advice? One other alternative I haven't seen mentioned is hte new Soundstage from Aragon. Nice piece with a 2-channel pass thru. Software and hardware upgradeable with a decent bass management system. I can't say its any nicer than the Classe cav-75 but i... | |
| Widescreen Premium a Rip-Off?? I much prefer watching movies in widescreen format. Just use a dvd with both formats on it and see which one you prefer. One other thing to keep in mind even if buying a 16x9 setup is that a lot of movies are done in 2.35 to 1 aspect ratio which m... | |
| Greatest Guitar Band I have to cast my vote for the Allman Brothers with Duane and Dickie. The interplay between those two was something to behold. Honorable mention has to go to Lynyrd Skynyrd and Houses of the Holy was a very special album. I saw Gregg Allman at the... | |
| Rock and Roll Speakers Nice thread and fits my music tastes as well. I own the Focus now and bi-amp them with a pair of Parasound HCA-3500's. As far as dynamics it is an excellent combo. It is not however the last word in resolution for that smoky blues/jazz that I love... | |
| Which track do you demo to your friends? Same for me Doug. If they can't find something they like in my selection they don't really like music anyway | |
| Klipschhorns or Belle's with SET amp's? You can run a Belle or a K-Horn off any clean amp. Results vary but SET amps putting out 5-8 watts will drive 104db effecient horns to very loud levels. I still have a set of LaScala's(Belles without the pretty cabinet) on my screen porch for use ... | |
| Music Fidelity or Adcom If you are considering used and like Adcom you might try to locate a set of 565 monoblocs. I have a set in my second system driving Legacy Classics and like the sound. You won't run out of power with a pair of these and they can be located used fo... | |
| BEST HEAVY METAL BAND I saw the Stones live at the Superdome in about 1979(give or take a year) A little known band that had just put out their first album opened and completely stole the show. These guys made Mick and the boys look old even then. This was before David... | |
| Worst Rock Band Ever !!!! You guys better go easy on The Archies. Sugar Sugar was the song of the year in 1969. | |
| Small Home Advice I also have had good dealings with Sound Decisions. They have only been here 2 or 3 years but was started by 2 guys from other hifi shops in town. They also carry Aragon, Theta, and Energy stuff. | |
| Balanced Interconnects?? The Parasound 3500 amp has the capability to use RCA single ended connects and run either positive, negative or both for a balanced single ended operation. However Rock is right, it takes 2 cables to be balanced this way. Your preamp or CD player ... |
