| Is Rap a valid musical form? Sure it’s a valid musical form. Not a very good one, for me, but still valid. It’s just one I happen to dislike immensely. While I can appreciate the political messages, especially in the earlier days of rap, the simplistic musical delivery syste... | |

| A friend told me JBL DD67000 is actually very bad speaker, is it true? According to him, those Tidal, Kharma, YG, Magico, Vivid G1, Grande Focal and German Physik are truely good speakers, JBL ain't no good...and his reasons: JBL is boxy, horny coloration as hell, zero imaging. is this true? It all depends on what ... | |
| Subwoofer Footing - Connect or Isolate? Wait... Doesn't this depend a lot on what type of floor one has? Solid foundations sound better with the sub coupled to the floor. Suspended floors sound better with the sub isolated from the floor. My friend owns one of the best audio/video in... | |

| Best speakers around $130k? Wow! So much wrong headed thinking here. Sure, a $130,000 speaker may be more of a negative impact on the environment than a $30,000 or $3,000 speaker would be. But seriously, the percentage of $130,000 produced is a fraction of $3,000 speakers,... | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? most of the worst speakers ive heard was horns. when horns sounds coloured, nothing else in the audio world is so unbearable to my ears This has also been my experience. I can tolerate a colored sounding non horn speaker much easier. But to ... | |
| Evaluating Classical Music Albums Being a fan of mostly classical music (modernism, serialism, avant-garde, etc) from the mid 20th century up through the present, it is often a fact that I do not have too many recordings to choose from. Many times I only have one recording of a p... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears Yeah, I know, most people think of angular, dark progressive music when they think of King Crimson. But they have more than their share of beautiful pieces. Here are just 2: King Crimson - Exiles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD0DBGqk6_A Kin... | |
| What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well? Overall, I haven't had too many recordings that haven't aged well. At least since I discovered prog, and all its subgenres (avant-prog, Zeuhl, Canterbury, symph, technical-metal, prog-meal, etc). Since I tend to only enjoy music with the follo... | |
| What Recordings Of Yours Did Not Age Well? Hocus Pocus by Focus. I agree. But then, I always thought, even though it is a fun track, was the weakest track on "Moving Waves". The side long "Eruption" is close to brilliant, and the beauty of songs like "Le Clochard", "Moving Waves", "Fo... | |
| Do I need a subwoofer? There is a lot of information in the bottom octaves that are related to soundstage and ambience, and other spatial cues. As decently low as those B&W,s go on their own, adding good quality subs, will create a more open, larger soundstage, tha... |
