| HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SYSTEM IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS @fastfreight I bought my current pair of speakers after demoing Chocolate Chip Trip. Absolutely amazing movement on that very well recorded track. | |
| The Music Room FWIW, I sold over 10k in used gear on ebay last year. No tax implications at all... | |
| Songs you use when auditioning gear Chocolate Chip Trip by Tool. Does some crazy spatial things and lots of panning side to side/ up & down. I'm not a Tool fan, but I bought this album. It's quality! | |
| Commercial air travel with a speaker It's a center channel. 36x11x17 roughly. I talked to the seller and he is going to take it to UPS and have them pack/ ship. I shouldn't have to fly out there. Thanks for everyone's feedback. | |
| Commercial air travel with a speaker Seller doesn't have the packaging, it is pickup only. I figured I could pick up, wrap it, and buy a seat for it. It's hefty at 83lbs. I have frequent flyer miles to use, so it won't really cost anything other than my time and a few bucks for T... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Switched the speaker outputs from the 4ohm to 8ohm (speakers are 6ohm.) Completely changed the sound of the amp (in a good way) MUCH more to my liking now. Absolutely wild. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @emergingsoul The Paradigms I had were all mis-matched (see previous comments in this thread about the room looking bad) so I upgraded to 18" PSA subs. I was having some noise issues during certain parts of songs so I decided to try their new(ish)... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @emergingsoul The monitors themselves are not bi-ampable. With the bass modules attached, they would be. Also, $38,000 for a pair of mc901s versus $6400 for the pair of the MC601s | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @overthemoon I did get a chance to listen. They are definitely not in your face. Laid back, detailed, and musical. Rolled off for sure. As others said, easy to listen to. I will have to do some room measurements/ correction before I make a final... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... Just picked up the MC601 monos yesterday. I might be able to listen to them later tonight. @mrdecibel The B6 modules are currently removed from the system (and for sale!) The photo is now current, I deleted the old one with the "sub array" Curre... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... 75 percent music/ 25 percent movies. But everything in this game is a compromise. Nothing wrong with some hybrid action. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... That pic was so outdated that the only component remaining is the CD player and the Salamander stand. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @ozzy62 thanks for your feedback. You missed the part where I said that picture is from AGES ago. Everything has been switched over to Power Sound Audio subs. You should not so hastily write off the 21. Very musical. Will measure flat up past 1... | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @ditusa I've seen his videos before, the first youtube link definitely. Sharp dude for sure. | |
| Benchmark or McIntosh.... @ditusa Going with McIntosh monoblocs for now. I think it ticks a few boxes for me and as others suggested, I can unload them if the fit isn't right. It does feel a little surreal - after years of seeing/dreaming about McIntosh gear, I'm finally a... |
