| Japanese Audio Since I live in Kyoto I feel like I have to offer some opinion not that it is any more valid than others. Regarding speakers(the OP was wondering) hmm good question. Japan does have Diatone that rarely see the light of day outside of its home and ... | |
| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? sounds_real_audio Thanks yes many bars here have excellent systems although I have only been to a few where the actual sound was like a listening room. Tannoys are pretty standard in fact I’ve never been to a place that didn’t have a really large ... | |
| Living in Japan. Any opinions on amplifiers? Concert Fidelity, what a cool looking company and it’s in a really great area. Kuruizawa! But wayyyy out of my price range. $20,000+ for an amplifier. | |

| Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound! Just a guess that the OP is not a native English speaker and if that’s the case then cut him some slack on his wording. We basically know what he meant which is something like I was blown away by the cost/performance of these two speakers and all ... | |
| Do you guys like Adele's music? She has an unreal range thanks to her flawless ability to jump up and drop out of a falsetto. Her tone set a trend for countless imitators. Her songwriting and lyrics are as good as anyone out there and yes ‘Someone Like You’ will still be played... | |
| I’m gob smacked. What were you’re aha moments? My first post!! 1979 I was a sophomore in high school and had finally saved up my money from summer work to buy a pair of dahlquist dq-10’s. I loved them but they weren’t ‘aha’ because all music had been like that for me including listening to Dri... |
