| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? You missed the point Bo, re-read. I KNOW you're passonite about audio but the focus will become more on you if you continue the way you have, count the number of "I's" in your posts. Think it doesn't matter? think again. You're right the focus sho... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? Bo please answer me this question as I like you and you seem like a nice guy but when you speak of "truth for me in audio" would you acknowledge that maybe another's truth might be a little different than your's? Do you TELL your customers what is... | |
| legacy speakers Doug I generally respect your views and can certainly understand that you have maybe a greater insight into the character of Mike Morrow. If there is no foul on his part and from his perspective, maybe you should call him, thinking more highly of ... | |
| legacy speakers Your last post says it all to me about Mike Morrow. What the hell is his problem about giving you a receipt promptly, immediately forwarding the order to Legacy and then having the nerve to charge you the debit fee for his actions? I'd never deal ... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? Ah come on Wolf, he's really harmless and can't you at least detect his passion? But I've got to admit the part about the earplugs when sleeping and hearing the dog barking had me LOL, Bo come on now, really? On the other hand there's plenty of BS... | |
| legacy speakers It's a tough time in audio as well as the overall economy. Maybe he has a cash flow problem, who knows but these kind of things can happen in a small business. The real problem is a lack of direct communication from Morrow to satisfy a customer, w... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? You're right Bo, your ears ARE sensitive. When you can feel it's too much, you've passed the threshold, the SPL's you indicate are well beyond, that is the point of my post. I too have been to concerts on a very regular basis, particularly many ye... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jeez I love this thread! I am systematically going through the recommendations and links, great stuff, thanks guys! | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? I hear you Bo, but although it might be "relaxed" and not sound harsh at high SPL's I guarantee you that your ears can't take those levels for sustained periods without serious risk of damage. There are, I'm sure, more than a few on this site suff... | |
| New to Audiogon. selling my whole system Hi CtsoonerI too recently switched speakers after having them for many years. They are good speakers but were extremely picky about what they matched with. This experience has let me to certain realizations I didn't have during ownership. For all ... | |
| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? I agree with your comments Dover, this has been my experience listening to other's systems as well some of which might benefit from "polite, inoffensive sound" IMHO.I also agree this is the reason there are so many diverging opinions on this site ... | |
| does import cds sound better You might want to listen, if you get the opportunity to hear first hand yourself. The SMH ARE clearly better, hands down, very obvious, but the real question is whether or not ONE is willing to pay the price. | |
| does import cds sound better The SHM discs ARE superior to SACD, vastly superior? I guess it depends on how you view it but it is certainly not difficult to hear the improvement, more relaxed, greater separation, better soundstage and overall it sounds more natural. They are ... | |
| Tube amps that kick ass? All I can say is I NEVER heard a Cary or Jolida amp that I would consider as "kick ass". And FORGET the V12 it doesn't do it, they just don't have the speed or reach the nether regions. These are midrange amps. I also agree that first off, don't b... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music I had a group of guys over a few weeks back and one brought a CD recording of "Pavorotti & Friends for Guatemala and Kosovo". One of the cuts really touched me and cuts the cloth of achingly beautiful to my ears "Tu che m' hai preso il cor" su... |
