| How much should I pay for 2nd hand Opera Quinta SE Nice speaker. I use a 1st generation Seconda, a step under the Quinta. Opera is the "everyday man$" Sonus Faber in aesthetics and build quality. Used EVERYTHING is negotiable starting near 50%. Good luck. | |
| Something Millercarbon has preached Be A Better Listener. Do not get mired in data. Interesting...this may be a new groundbreaking trend. Start a tread on someone who starts threads. | |
| JTR Speakers, why so much? Their website is awful. Doesn't tell you anything about the company. Plain black boxes suggest home theater/pro audio is the focus. You don't need speakers with nice veneer in the HT room. 18" subs-YES! Needed for explosions and a good concert ... | |
| FM Tuners "I'd be more comfortable under $300." If you look at the listings, 2 in your price range. There is a Marantz for $350. Prices are always negotiable. If you're adventurous, a true "vintage" Sherwood for $250. The Sherwood is tubed, so it will pro... | |
| FM Tuners You may be able to get a decent amount of stations with a $2.00 dipole. Rooftop is mandatory for optimum performance. Unless you like Classical/Jazz and NPR, everything else is not worth the effort. Perhaps you're in an area with a decent soundin... | |
| Kal was right! Writeup is promising. Nice looking speaker. Their cherry finish or ebony would be my choice. Nearly $20k MSRP but... MIC. Suppose that would be double if made in Wisconsin? Enjoy them. | |
| Why I sold my Magnepan .7's " taken way out of context, especially by tablejockey." rankaudio- my comment is based on your experience "-Magnepans appear to shoot an equal amount of sound from the rear as well." The rear of the room/placement needs to be addressed. You did... | |
| So much music that we never hear! Radio station programming is to keep a listener for around 20 minutes. Nothing new. It's been this way for decades. Expand your listening tastes to Classical and Jazz for the PBS stations. They don't do the radio "formula" | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? "Do you have a suite of measurements that removes all shadow of a doubt that you are getting good sound, sound that you enjoy? " In the spirit of audio as a hobby, you analyze the frequency response in your room. Being a gear head, kinda like hav... | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? "The thump is loud, very loud if it's at the full volume" You know what the Doctor says to patient? It hurts when I do "x" Doctor-then don't do "x" | |
| Turntables thump when turning off? You solved the concern with muting. Relax and enjoy the long weekend and listen to your stereo. | |
| Bought the wrong subwoofer! "Going to pick up a Rel Britannia b3." That's a 15 year old design when the company was R E L, not "REL." Completely different company, with different direction. . Part of the last lineup when it was still made in England. I use 2 B3's. The... | |
| Bought the wrong subwoofer! I was hoping to enjoy morning coffee and a closer to my post. This thread is ripe for a line that KILLS. | |
| Bought the wrong subwoofer! How many Agon members does it take to hook up a subwoofer? | |
| Silver v Copper wire phono cable yes/no, bad/good, maybe/definitely audio forums...a place to increase doubt |
