| Rush in 5.1 surround Well I got the R30 set and listened last night - I guess I was curious to see if it was better.It was and it wasn't.The venue acoustics were terrible...and the guitars and vocals were rather muffled and often distorted....it seemed to suffer what ... | |
| Amazing James Randi? Mr Hosehead,Interesting thread - thanks for the link. None of this surprises me in the least - least of all the venom. Fremer sounds like an emotional fellow and this is just the type of person who writes good objective reviews.If Randi has brains... | |
| Rush in 5.1 surround No I did't get the R30 box set. I thought about it though as it was a pretty good deal - if you wanted all three concerts. (The separate 2007 DVD's are the same though - so I was told at HMV) | |
| Am I Bad Listener? My electricity comes from burning natural gas - so it is pretty clean souding compared to those of you on coal! | |
| Rush in 5.1 surround Well I got both Show of Hands and Exit Stage Left DVD's and gave them a spin yesterday.Verdict =>Show of Hands is much better sound and better video. Xanadu in Exit Stage Left is worth it just for this one track.Conclusion => mixed bag reall... | |
| Am I Bad Listener? "this whole stereo sounds like crap" with a CDP really bad. (1989 Circuit City Sony or something)Yikes - I am in your crap category. I have way more expensive CDP's in storage but my tin ears failed to hear a significant difference; simply a slig... | |
| Am I Bad Listener? And, of course, power handling - notice I mention under 95 db. Over 105 db and below 45 HZ there is a huge (very huge!) difference between 5k speakers, 10k, 15k and 20k. Absolutely agree. A $5K mid range and treble sound can often be as good as $... | |
| Am I Bad Listener? Does anyone share my experience or is there something this sad, pathetic audiophile is missing? A lot of the gear you describe is intended to sound correct so it should sound extremely close (often hard to identify in a double blind test). I shar... | |

| Rush in 5.1 surround Can anyone comment on Exit Stage Left 5.1 DVD that was issued this year? | |
| EFFICIENCY How important is this difference in the final sound quality? Not as important as how they sound to you. Get the one which sounds better. The impedance of 2.3 Ohms is a wee bit on the low side....this would concern me as it makes these speakers in... | |

| Rives PARC parametric equalizer This is quite normal. I assume you have installed it or you have heard the impact of the PARC in a friends system.Bass response in 99% of home environments is extremely bumpy due to room modes. Therefore 99% of people with significant bass extensi... | |
| Philosophy used in assembling your system? Best Value overall (from my perspective, of course). Since I use digital, I have tended to go ho-hum ordinary gear with cables and digital sources, as this has the least impact on the sound per kilo-dollar spent. Besides my goal is to listen to gr... | |
| Audioquest cables? More control and fastness is what I need. What Dynaudios are you using? Control and fastness is a trait related to speaker critical damping and amplifier more than a cable. It is quite unusual for people to complain that Dynaudios are slow and la... |
