| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Allangard. Magico does make a unique and good looking grill for the A3's. Costs $600 a pair. I ordered them at the same time as the A3's at Command Performance who had them on their demo model. Check out this link. Give the page a second to load ... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Thanks Thomas, I'll google your amp. I've got a thread going on amps now so I can start to sort that subject out.Thanks Steve, there sure were a lot of recommendations as you say. I did research each and every one of them though. Hmm, Alon Wolf re... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Thank you all for your thoughtful replies.Kosst_amojan, I still don’t understand what amplifier "classes" are referring to. Pardon me for being a beginner at this, but I am trying to learn so I can understand why one class might be preferable to a... | |

| Best building material for vibration free shelving rcronk5, thanks for you relaying your sound engineers advice and your accompanying explanation.

| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin at the helm. Their one album at the Fillmore West was bold, brash and outstanding in every way, and in my opinion outshines all other American groups of much longer duration. Beach Boys were gr... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers My apologies fsonicsmith, don’t know what I was thinking. Everybody misspells my last name, O’Neill too, so I’m usually conscientious about that type of thing. I won’t fail you again. Tomic601, you’re lucky to have seen the Pretenders live. The cl... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Thanks Tomic60. The Magico purchase saved you a trip flying out to Roanoke to set up Vandersteen Treo’s. The Treo’s came in a close second to my ears, and were great recreating vocal performances. Don’t see how anybody could go wrong with them.Lar... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Kalali,, you're right about dealers using the music streaming services. But that's not what I was asking for since I don't use streaming myself, instead mostly vinyl records, some CD's. I don't know what happened to the "customer is always right ... | |
| Room placement for Vandersteen Treo CT Ctsooner, I did control the volume at both dealerships I auditioned speakers at today. Mostly because the owner/staffpersons there handed the remote to me at the beginning of each audition. I did raing and lowering the volume and listening bot ins... | |
