| So much Bach, where do I start? Everyone should have a set of the Brandenburg Concertos. Modern recording, but then again do you prefer modern or original instruments? There are two modern recorded original instrument recordings out currently. One by Trevor Pinnock and the other... | |
| hearts of Space Are you trying to buy it or get an opionion? Have you tried Heartsofspace.com (also HOS.COM) The only HOS artist I am familiar with is Robert Rich. | |
| Spikes under the Subwoofer? It really depends on the subwoofer. You may want to check with the manufacturer or a knowledgeable dealer. For example the REL Q subs like the Q50 and Q100E do not have feet. There are holes on the bottom for spikes, however the sub was designed t... | |
| Speakers with built in sub any good? B&W created them for situations where it is not physically possible to use a sub properly. You can get information also at their website www.bwspeakers.com I prefer a separate sub, but depends on your budget and taste. The Hsu VTF-2 power subw... | |
| Speakers with built in sub any good? There are the B&W DM605-S2 that sell for around $2000. 130 watt amplifier in each one to power the bass. See comments on Audioreview.com | |
| A good subwoofer REL Stratus III or Storm III. Easy to integrate with just about any speaker, and since they do not use a crossover, they let your favorite main speakers play full range. You'll continue to enjoy the sound you are use to and more. | |
| Why pay "more" for USED?? Some guy was just recently selling a pair of Nautilus 803s on eBay that he claims he paid something like $6600 for new. His "buy it now" price was the $5000 new list price. It was not a dealer, just a dishonest person. | |
| Why pay "more" for USED?? Some things have gone for more here. Back when HCM Audio first started auctioning those Krell-Soundstream DAC-1 converters they would consistantly go for $250 here and $150 on eBay.I also decided for fun to demo some of those new Zu Cables being a... | |
| Why pay "more" for USED?? The other day on eBay a used single CD of Overtures with the NBC Symphony conducted by Toscanini went for $35. I think it sells for $13.99 at your favorite record shop. | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Mvwine: If you walked into a room with a music sub playing that is set up correctly, the sub would be invisible to the ear. You might think, WOW I never knew the bass on those (main) speakers was so good. In other words; the bass should integrate ... | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Mvwine, PS: I forgot to say that I was assuming the salesperson even understands how to integrate a sub. A lot are completely clueless or even worse (ie, they think they can sell you with a big boomy sound that shakes the room). | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? Most dealers have their subs set up terribly, because they get moved around, turned on and off a lot, and reset constantly for different speakers. It takes more than the minute the salesperson takes to integrate a sub properly. So do not forsake s... | |
| Cable / Upgrade Recommendation I found similar (slight) results getting the power center off the floor. A better conditioner than a Monster HTS2000 will yield even better results. Look into Vansevers or Chang Lightspeed. I had a similar problem originally and like a few others,... | |
| Old Philips CD as transport or new playe The Rotel RCD970 and 975 have the CDM9 if you want one as a transport | |
| To Sub or not to Sub...? If you want two subs and cannot afford two good ones, buy one for now and save for the second. One good sub is better than two cheap ones. |
