| Audiophile Addiction A "satisfying sound" is all I hope to achieveOne person's satisfaction is another person's drivel. Indeed, I think it's finding a level of comfort within compromise | |
| Audiophile Addiction If you can't listen to music and are at the mercy of upgraditis to the point of having to sell off the system to be free of it, you are in way too deep. That's like going cold turkey from a nicotine addiction - pretty severe IMO.@Hooper -- how did... | |
| Music vs. Components @ Mrtennis - I believe I understand the point(s) you're trying to make. However, my interpretation of the OP's question is that it was narrower than your broadened scope that includes physiological/mental changes based on the act of listening. My ... | |
| Music vs. Components @Mrtennis - I'm not sure I fully understand your qualification of music being 'neutral to your health' as opposed to the other things you mention. I don't see how music is any less salutary than reading, for example.You mention 'many variables' th... | |

| Dealing with a large TV between speakers I'm not sure I properly ended this thread, but perhaps it's moot now anyway. As stated, I did get a flat panel plasma and it's replaced the large original TV. The plasma is hung on the wall behind the speakers. Much improvement all around -- sound... | |
| room setup question I had a 50" rear projection LCD TV on a dedicated stand between my speakers and had the same concerns. See the thread here. The perceived problems I had were minimized depth of soundstage, sound clarity, and visually having a huge obstruction dire... | |
| Freight Company Help Pilot air has a good rep and I believe decent prices. I received speakers from them in flawless condition. Another option is uship.com. I've used this service once to ship speakers and it was by far the cheapest way to go, and excellent service do... | |
| Thoughts on Usher S-520's...upgrade? The 520's aren't bad speakers. I own them. But they're small and need to be used in the context that they were intended. Make sure you're room is up to snuff -- ie you've addressed it's shortcomings (adding room treatments like absorption/diffusio... |
