| any advice appreciated Drew,I think you are on the right track with most of the budget into the speakers you like. You may find 50 watts of power is a bit light given you have a large room, however, that can be left for a future upgrade... | |
| The most important word of advise? Avoid the slippery slope of snake oil.Once you are "caught", there is no end of "must have" improvements because the needs that these devices fulfill or the problems that they cure are only limited by the technobabble that can be made up and the h... | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? I'm on the same page a Bill - of course I suspect this is because we share the same concept of slam. Short transients that pressure the room/ears - it is almost more of a feeling than "sound" as it is so transient. This is completely different fro... | |
| What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam? Like Shadorne's advice, I also thought about using pro speakers. But I wonder if there's any good looking pro speakers that will not ruin the indoor scene of my house. Not that I can think of. They all have an industrial look. The Genelec's in Wh... | |

| Norah Jones a tinge short I hate Celine, her voice makes me cringe. Me too - all I meant was that she can sing better than Diana Krall. But you do have a good point that it is all irrelevant.Whatever turns your crank - Celine raises the roof when she belts it out whilst F... | |
| Norah Jones a tinge short implying that you're somehow superior to me because you don't like Diana and I'm "foolish" enough do so. Sorry Dave - good point - there is nothing foolish in listening to the vocalists that you enjoy...perhaps "beguiled" is a better term to desc... | |
