| Is Hi-fi getting more expensive? OK, here's how to look at it. If you invest $500 at 6%, compunded monthly for 10 years, after 10 years you have $909. Will that $909 buy you more electronics now than $500 ten years ago?Yes.The top end will always be the top end, but for 95+ perce... | |
| Is Hi-fi getting more expensive? I agree with Jeffreybowman2k | |
| Must see mini film on Audiophile Club of Athens... Thanks! | |
| subwoofer question I'd go with one better sub rather than 2 lesser ones. You can always add a second one later. The other issue is that the amplifier in the sub is also 15 years old, and you never know when it will need the capacitors changed, etc. | |
| who has experience with Joseph Audio? Just to clarify two posts above: only the second paragraph is from Stereophile, the rest is mine. | |
| Some advice needed I've used Parasound amps for the center and rears - they're a good bargain. Also B&K. | |
| Want to Blow Up My Stereo Blowing up a stereo...isn't that what Brilliant Pebbles are for? http://www.machinadynamica.com/machina31.htmGet a test disc from stereophile or somewhere else to test polarity, etc. | |
| who has experience with Joseph Audio? LOL - I'm a B&W fan (although not as much as I used to be). Joseph Audio bought out (or uses) Infinite Slope and their crossover ideas. From a 1996 Stereophile:Joseph Audio is a relatively new New York based company making loudspeakers designe... | |
| Want to Blow Up My Stereo Maybe ask your speaker manufacturer for placement advice? Could help. | |
| who has experience with Joseph Audio? I've got to be the lone dissent. I've heard them several times at hi-fi shows, so it was their setup. I have found them dull and uninvolving. Not neutral, but blah every time, especially in the mids and bass. I've always wondered why people like t... | |
| Moby concert and ear damage? I got permanent hearing damage - not too bad i don't think - from The Clash. I was young and stupid and my ears were ringing for 3 days. | |
| equating class A to class AB SS amps? The other point is that many AB amps operate in class A until a certain wattage is reached, then go AB.I used to have a 75 watt (into 8 ohms) class A amp that was beautiful to listen to. | |
| I need help bad LOL - OK, but my advice still stands. And definitely seperates. You can upgrade the processor as needed, and keep the amp forever (and get it recapped every 10 years). | |
| Should I or should I not? That is the question... Upgrade - no question at all. | |
| I need help bad I'd go with used seperates off audiogon. You can do very well for a processor for 1000-1500 tops (krell, rotel, arcam, lexicon, b&k), and the same amount for a 5-channel amp. There's a new Arcam AVP 700 processor for 1200 (which may not be a g... |
