| Can room acoustics amplify the sound of speakers? This is a very interesting topic as I notice the same problem with my Vandersteen 1Cs. At low to moderate levels they perform exceptionally well, but if I turn the volume up to far they lose the magic. Now with my Soliloquy 5.0s this does not happ... | |
| Budget Strategies forTightening up Bass? Power cords? Speakers cables? The Silverline SR17.5s put out some serious bass for monitors. Set up and positioning for this speaker is critical and being only ten inches from a corner is going to render bloated bass. If moving them out into the r... | |
| What CDP gets really close to vinyl? About seven or eight years ago I purchased a used Resolution Audio CD50 and thought this "thing is pretty good." The more I listened to it the more impressed I was. Not long after I sold off my vinyl collection. Every once in a while I feel a twin... | |
| Bookshelf speakers + T-amp for TV Audio I have a pair of Gallo Micro Ti speakers with the Gallo MPS-150 sub. My main concern was finding the smallest speakers I could to please the wife. They sound very good for their intended purpose. | |
| Anyone with W4S amps and preamp I am using a Bel Canto Pre3 now and have paired it with Bel Canto a pair of M300s, the S300 and the S500. Also tried the PS Audio Trio A-100 and lastly a Seymour AV ICE Block 5001 with the Pre3. All of these setups were run with balanced connectio... | |
| "God Bless the Child" on Idol? I watched for the first time this season just to humor my wife and thought there were some fine singers. And yes, that guy with the bass seemed to be genuinely talented. I prefer Simon as a judge. His reality checks made sense to me. | |
| moody blues vs rock hall of fame Although there were no "hits" on it, On The Threshold Of A Dream" is the Moody's album that really takes me there. Unbelievable how vivid the memories are.Not sure what value the RRHOF has, none to me, but the Moody Blues should be in it. | |
| Metal, aluminum, or wood for a rack ? I built my rack with Pennsylvania slate shelves. If I could go back in time six or seven years I would get thicker all thread. That being said, I can stand on my rack also with no wobble. As for vibration, rap your knuckle on a 1 1/2 inch thick pi... | |
| Sold Polk lsi15 now what? I owned the Lsi15s and had a similar reaction. They did nothing wrong, quite a bit right but just didn't thrill me. Mine were replaced with Proac Response 1.5 which brought about the same reaction. Ended up pulling my trusty Meadowlark Kestrel Hot... | |
| Totem... Bass? I agree with Nadman12. I owned the Model 1s and my main complaint was lack of bass. This was in a small room. I have never heard the Mani 2. | |
| Best used DAC around $500 I briefly owned the Bel Canto Dac2. While I thought it was a good sounding dac, it was easily bested by the PS Audio DLII. ANd as mentioned above, the DLIII does provide balanced output which takes it up a notch. Something I found annoying about t... | |
| Speakers with Most good reviews in last ten years What speaker has received a bad review from an audio publication? It seems to go against their grain. | |
| Best used DAC around $500 PS Audio DLIII is a good bet at your price point. I was looking for a more esoteric dac for my Mac Mini but "settled" on the DLIII and am very happy with it. Not looking anymore. | |

| So what is the best speaker you have ever owned? This is a good question but the answer is relative to so many factors. Price, room size, musical preference and amplification to name some obvious ones.For me it's a toss up between Meadowlark Audio Kestrel Hot Rod and the Soliloquy 5.0 monitors. ... |
