| Are you an audiophile or a music lover: take 4 I'd take jazz. "Jazz" encompasses a very broad range of musics. It overlaps son, folk (clever reply, Cornfedboy), blues, "classical", almost everything to some extent, unless Wynton (and I don't mean Kelly) is your guide. | |
| Are You An Audiophile Or A Music Lover? I'd keep the music without skipping a beat. | |
| Best setup? - - ACI Titan II LE I first ran my ACI Titan II LE with the speaker level adapters, but, most of the time, I detected an annoying hum (induced from the unavoidable jumble of cables in the area).I then ran shielded interconnects directly from my preamp. to the Titan I... | |
| ACI Titan II LE vs REL: Opinions You'd have to get a one of the larger very expensive Rels to compete with an ACI Titan II LE. Those Rels are very musical and do integrate very well, but no more/better than the Titan II LE which is less than half the price. And I think that the T... | |
| Subwoofer Options - REL, BagEnd, JMLab Electra Sub In this order:ACI Titan II LE, Rel Storm (or maybe larger), Vandersteen 2WQ | |
| Vandersteen 1B vs. 1C I got my 1C pair after hearing my friend's 1B, and the 1C is a definite improvement. The drivers and their alignment were improved, yielding a significantly more lively, clear, and coherent presentation.I love my 1Cs, combined with an ACI Titan II... | |
| Got a melody running around in your head? I usually recall some music I really do like (mostly jazz). However, often I'd find some cheezy top-40 AM radio tune or tacky movie theme from decades ago repeating in my headspace over and over and over and ...But I've been partially cured in the... | |
| Vandersteen 1C with 2Wq or 2Ce Sig or 3A ?? I have a pair of Vandersteen 1Cs and an A.C.I. Titan II LE. A Titan II LE worked better than a 2WQ in my listening room, mainly because its steeper crossover allowed it to integrate better, given it's non-optimal placement necessitated by the layo... | |
| Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food?? I most enjoy a broad range of cuisines from locations all around the Mediterranean. I also enjoy New Mexican food and pork barbeque. But if I had to chose one dish (glad I don't have to), I would probably chose my homemade pizza. In the summer and... | |
| I called Richard Vandersteen "I do think that most of the above posters missed the point entirely or else you are just huge suck ups & brown nosers!..."Get a grip, Maxgain. I do hope that you are able to get the information that you need, but I do think your ascribing of ... | |
| subwoofer suggestions My ACI Titan II LE is much less placement-critical and more flexible than a Vandersteen 2WQ. The Titan II LE sounds (even less boomy and can play louder) and looks better (IMHOp), in any case. You can buy a Rel that performs similar to a Titan II ... | |
| subwoofer comparision In my opinion, a good, properly set up subwoofer should be able to do both music and ht well. My ACI Titan II LE sure does and has all the required inputs and crossover options. Also a properly chosen Rel will serve about as well, but an equivalen... | |

| ACI Titan II vs. Rel Storm III When I first heard the Rels, my notion of how well subwoofers could integrate with main speakers was radically altered. I then spent a lot of time with a Vandersteen 2WQ, which is excellent but does not integrate as easily. Then I read about the A... |
