Music for Organ, Brass and Timpani on Sonoma
Thanks for the heads up! I ordered it. 
Help me make sense of this.
I didn't think surround receivers did music as well as a dedicated 2 channel amp ( especially seperates ) Well built receivers can sound just as good as separates at modest power levels up to 150 watts - after all they are built of similar parts ... 
It's Hammond B3 Organ Day
Listen to THIS - B3 solo starts around 7:20 but that great wurlitzer sound is throughout. 
Rel storm III or Stadium III.
Pluto,You just revived a thread from 2003! Incidentally do a google and look for HT Shack Subwoofer Tests - a real eye opener in general to subwoofer performance or lack thereof in all but one or two cases... 
tweaks that impress the unsuspecting
None - the most impressive thing in recent years was Planet Earth on HD 1080p. This bowled over unsuspecting others. No minor audio tweak has ever impressed unsuspecting others. Our unsuspecting dogs go ballistic on test CD's with just talking - t... 
Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc
Do you have any opinions as to sound quality of various pro alternatives, Genelec, Adam, Dynaudio, etc? Speakers are very much a matter of taste. Obviously I like the recent Genelec 8050A - I am not partial to older Genelecs however - so discussi... 
"Near Field" Home Cinema with 1080 Screens
I think 3 feet is about as close as you can get to a 1080P 42" screen - any closer and you may see pixels... 
More Questions For The Speaker Experts...
You have to go for the 4425 - I mean this classic is a serious conversation piece - is it a butt or cleavage - get yourself a pink triangle turntable and you are in business.More seriously why not ask these guys 
Neil Young goes Blu Ray think it will catch on?
Jaybo,Plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose...i quite agree with you. 
Maggies and rolled off treble
Jafox, My intent is to give a counter-view as I suspect I would be classified as being in the neurotic camp where effort is made to refine a system in every way possible, including cables and tweaks. And I respect where you are coming from. You ar... 
Maggies and rolled off treble
Midrange is the unsung hero of good audio and happy audiophiles.This is why Magneplanars, LS35a's, Quad ESL 57's, Celestion 600's and precious few others are legendary speakers, many years after they were first manufactured.In the meantime, neuro... 
Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc
Pro active speakers are still a possibility, but if I go that way I'd go for the higher SPL, 3-way midfield or "main" monitors. The thing is, these are designed to be flush-mounted, and at this point I think I'd prefer free-standing fronts.They a... 
System Pictures & a kind of "dating service"
High End Audio is already like computer dating, everyone makes fantastic claims about what can be had. Are you daring to suggest that nearly everyone makes fantastic claims about ordinary pieces of wire running between components and speakers? Hi... 
Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc
Oh and before these speakers get dismissed as crap along with other pro gear just take a look at Blackbird Studios in Nashville - especially Studio C designed by George Massenburg - you will see a cost no object setup and guess what - Genelec 8050... 
Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc
If you have not bought your Revel's yet then why not consider Active speakers ? If you are looking at pro amps then why not check out the speaker section at your local music store - listen to the Genelec 8050A and see what you think....Revels are ...
