| Why "bookshelf" sspeakers? I think you’re asking some REALLY good questions here. You can pair some good monitors with a couple subs and arguably get better sound than two tower speakers. Lotta variables in there, but a lot of the cost of tower speakers goes into th cabin... | |
| Musical subwoofer under $2000 I must also admit I'm tempted by the Arendal 1723 SUBWOOFER 2S at $2,500 as a one and done solution. I would say no. Don’t do that. Getting two lesser subs will provide much better overall performance than one more expensive sub. Get two che... | |
| Cable upgrades Yeah, as usual @audphile1 is plugged right into my brain. I’d recommend Acoustic Zen Silver Reference interconnects and Hologram speaker cables. Their naturalness and 3D sound staging are outstanding, and IMHO are a bargain at their asking price. | |
| 50 ways to leave your lover What passes for dazzling technique in rock is no big deal for a competent jazz drummer. @stager Totally agree dude! When jazz drummers started to migrate into rock in the late 60’s, early 70’s — think Blood Sweat n Tears, Jefferson Airplane, Cr... | |
| Anyone listen to Music on a FM tuner anymore? Yeah ,in this world of digital streaming, and a lot of it in hi res, I could never justify using a tuner radio. It really makes no sense anymore IMHO. BTW, I’m also in the NYC area and have found tons of good music from WFUV — Fordham University’s... | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE @lordrootman You’re a pretender. I professionally reviewed high-end audio for 17 years and u got nuthin’. Bring it if u got it. | |
| DAC RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE being a reviewer for 50 years or whatever doesn’t make you resident expertise on every speakers , dacs streamers amplifiers and so on @lordrootman No, but it makes me more than you. What are you credentials? Who are you? | |
| A little gift for my fellow audiophiles Just wanted to mention I have no affiliation with the audiophilemusic site and make no $ from it. Just wanted to share some pretty damn cool music. Enjoy my fellow audiophile sickoes! Love to hear any thoughts/feedback BTW. | |
| Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K... I’d give a good look at these Joseph Audio Pearls. A friend of mine has them and compared them to both KEFs and Legacy speakers and he found the Pearls to be superior. There is something very special about the crossover Joseph Audio uses that prod... | |
| Speaker for 11x12 room If I was you I’d consider placing the speakers straddling the corner where the 11.3’ and 6.5’ walls meet and put the listening chair in the back right (as your diagram is drawn). Many manufacturers do this at shows when they have significant spac... | |
| Blues for Aficionados Here’s an Oscar Peterson disc that tends to fly under the radar a bit but well worth owning and is very well recorded… https://www.amazon.com/Oscar-Peterson-Meets-Hargrove-Ralph/dp/B000003D5K | |
| Robert Plant @decooney Don’t forget to fire up some Steely Dan while you’ve got the tubes all warm n fuzzy! | |
| DAC that compete with EMM M3 and playback design m6 What’s your budget, and are you looking for new or used? | |
| Thiel 2.4 Speakers & Krell KAV - 300iL @jafant I completely share your love of Thiel speakers. In fact, the CS1.5 paired with a Pass Aleph 3 was integral to getting me back into audio. Later I was fortunate to be able to review the 1.6es and got to speak with Jim directly about the d... | |
| 50 ways to leave your lover I am a big fan of Paul Simon (also Garfunkel). I have always been an avid concert goer having attended hundreds of concerts and mentioned in one of my posts (maybe on a different site) that if someone could grant me a wish to go back in time and... |
