| Tube Friendly Speakers Coincident Speaker Technology,Audio Note, Lowther and Soliliqy all come to mind. I'm sure there are many others but these are all names that come up for sale quite often so if you don't like them they should be fairly easy to move. Hope this helps. | |
| Should Manufacturers Post Prices In Ads My original point was that prices in ads save everyone from the consumer to the dealer a lot of time and trouble. You either agree or not it's that simple. My mistake for not making it a direct question. Nuf said. | |
| Bookshelf Speakers Listener Magazine had a writeup on 5 or 6 small bookshelf speakers that you should read. I have never purchased any of their recomendations but their reviews are a lot more user friendly then the other audio rags and my impression is that they are... | |
| Should Manufacturers Post Prices In Ads Although I respect Jim's opinion that this posting is a "lame nitpick" I would like to ask him the following thought question. Do you think that Audiogon would be more or less useful if prices were not posted ? Perhaps some people think that less ... | |
| Will Internet Distroy High End ? Retail is tough and high end audio is no exception. Every merchant, and every salesman has been taken advantage of by tire kicking customers that soak up your time but ultimately buy from the cheapest possible source. The internet provides a wider... | |
| Stereophile's refusal to review more low We may not have solved any problems but it has been a blast reading all the posts. Better then any letters to the editor I have ever read. Thanks for the participation. | |
| Bose Infomercial Several months ago I ran an ad by Bose that was, well, sickening. I love Bose, really. They are the Darth Vador of audio. Best of all the people who buy his stuff are proud to own it and seem to like it a lot. A friend of mine just got a Mercades ... | |
| the BEST garage system you ve ever built I have you all beat ! I have a used Toshiba truck radio with Radio Shack AC/DC converter. Speaker system is built into an open wall using a two way 6 1/2" auto speaker with a Vifa aluminum dome tweeter. You would be surprised how much bass comes o... | |
| The gender-split in audio Women hear better then men but the high end tweeter reproduction gets on their nerves. This is of course a subjective personal opinion but who can prove I'm wrong ? Another theory is that "the look" is at least as important to women as sound. Bott... | |
| Buying "Sound Unheard" Audio Advisor also has 30 day return policy that I have used before without any hassles. I once ordered a speaker from another dealer however who conveniently omitted telling me that it was not the current model. When I received the package I call... | |
| State of the Art? I don t care anymore. I think you must first start with the objective of building a system to serve the type of music you most like to listen to. Every type of configuration has it's strong points and weaknesses. I would then visit every audio store you can and relate ... | |
| Sub-sat system the ultimate compromise ? In spite of the huge numbers of subs produced and sold by independent, "sub only manufacturers" there is virtually no help by them ,or the audio rags, in recomending good mating systems. Of course some full range manufacturers do produce mating su... | |
| Reynaud Trentes: Opinions and alternates FYI "listner" magazine had an over the top review on these speakers. I have never heard them but the review was so positive that I considered buying a pair based on this review ! You are lucky to have a dealer to audition them. | |
| Best speaker a wife would tolerate My wife hates any speaker that requires a wire attached and has to be placed away from the wall. You will have to hide the speakers completely , put them in the wall or choose something tiny and cute to satisfy this type of woman. If you are into ... | |
| Beware of new Krell Waranty Policy Cary has also has this policy and I think it is BS. If a product is good enough to warrantee it shouldn't matter who owns it ! Remember guys you vote with your $ so support the manufacturers who back up their products with no reservations. Competi... |
