| adding center speaker to existing stereo system Just picked up on this thread. I'm was a Jim Bongiorno fan before his passing. He tackled this deeper than anyone else that I've seen. This is a terrific item, take a look. https://www.sst.audio/new-products/trinaural-processor | |
| Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best? @douglas_schroeder Hi Doug, although I do agree that there are several speakers that are nice to listen to that don’t necessarily come close to that ruler flat acoustical challenge. I have to disagree on the idea that seeking and building toward t... | |
| Who said “ flat freq response “ is the best? There are a few subjects being discussed here: Flat response from Equipment and speakersFlat In room response. If you think about it, when the recording is done, are they done in perfect rooms? Carnegie Hall, Studios, Restaurants, Church's. E... | |
| Can someone explain to me why : Accupahse Equipment is that expensive ? This might not do it for you, but I've read a few threads that these Chinese knock offs are surprisingly good: https://www.ebay.com/itm/HiFi-Integrated-Power-Amplifier-Pure-Class-A-20W-Class-AB-200W/263735848188... | |
| Awesome customer service from Simply Speakers geez John, your coming on strong defending Madisound…. First, it happened as I said. You first told me it couldn't be THE owner because Madisound is employee owned, Now its Brian. I asked for a specific pair of tweeters. He clearly wanted to... | |

| Awesome customer service from Simply Speakers Ha, LOL, Well thanks John. Actually I was purchasing tweeters, another set was being pushed on me, since being pushed, I asked for a discount. He hung up on me. When I called back, the employee was very apologetic and told me that it was the owner... | |
| Awesome customer service from Simply Speakers I’ve visited their site many times. Its nice that they have JBL, Electrovoice and ESS parts, but when I look at the quality and selection outside of that, I’ve been disappointed. They do have assembled crossovers, but at their quality level, they ... | |
| Which material sounds better for speakers construction? Wood, Ply or MDF? knock on your cast aluminum engine block and tell me how it rings. | |

| Used Bryston 3B-ST or Schiit Vidar? I'm sorry that I don't have an opinion, I've not heard the Schiit, but I'd sure like to hear from a few people that have heard them both. I would also like to hear how they differ in sound and if one is clearly better than the other. | |
| Evaluating Potential Setup, Solid State Pre-Amps, buffers, XLR Cable Length Schiit Freya will do a good job for you gives you balanced out and a choice of passive, active or tubes. Decent sounding unit too. | |
| Thinking of changing my solid state pre amp I didn't mention this in the 3 that I posted, but actually the Conrad-Johnson Premier 18LS is an excellent pre, I have seen it once or twice below $1000. All the models that I have listed are excellent performers and will do a great job with your... |
