| HELP: Subwoofer for music Yea that sure is alot of woofer! But more in not always better, most often not. So let me make a recommendation, take a close look at the Peerless XLS 12. If i did not go with W26, that would be other choice. One sub is enough for my 20x20 room. S... | |
| Need monitors with a BIG sound Seas makes a fine MTM monitor, with a big sound, Thor. | |
| HELP: Subwoofer for music Hey Matchsticman, Just hold off a bit and consider. The Seas Excel drivers are very musical. They just came out with a new 10 inch woofer , the W26 ($250 each). She's a beauty. The vandersteen is gigantic! Way way too big for my room. The w26 will... | |
| Equipment Break-in: Fact or Fiction Marakanetz's post is right on, 100%. Only exception is that i believe there is not even one second breakin time. It'll sound the same the second you turn your component on til the day she dies. Why should audio equipment be the only electronics th... | |
| HELP: Subwoofer for music Hey Matchsticman, I'm working on the same project. Got all kinds of ideas going on. Like you i want a sub for music , not for HT purposes, not for movie sound effects. Natural (very low key) and subtle. Here's what i got going. I'm going to buy a ... | |
| Hypex HS200 amp vs Marchand for use as sub amp... Yes the Marchand looks to be a great xover. I think the assembled Xm9 is like $499, but maybe alot more than i really need, its a 2 way, i'm just looking for the sub amp feature. Just got a note from the Madisound post , guy says his Hypex does co... | |
| What is the sweetest sounding tube amp. The Jadis Orchestra Reference. She can make a speaker that growls like a junk yard dog , sing like a song bird. | |
| Debussy's Opera, Pelleas et Melisande Yes Desormiere is genius. Magical. I have a few other classical recordings that are magical in nature, revealing an essence of a work that goes way beyond the score as well as the instruments. | |
| Debussy's Opera, Pelleas et Melisande The other French conductor i was refering to was , Ingelbrecht, i just received from Tower. This 6 cd set of almost all of Debussy's orchestral works is a must to own. If you order the Desormiere recording, be prepared for a very poor quality reco... | |
| Best efficient speaker for the money. After countless hours of research (recently took a big hit on some DIYer's, bad gamble) there is only one choice for me, Seas Thor, MTM, $1800. Madisound.com | |
| Best female vocals on CD Italian talent of Gigiola Cinquetti, her cd Non Ho L'Eta on WEA label, contains 3 great italian songs + others. Great voice. Poggia is a must to hear if you love Italian female vocalist. | |
| Dvorak 9th Symphony From the selections i've heard so far, seems Neumann with his very well tuned Czech P.O. recorded a beautiful 9th. Then again its the Czech P.O. conducted by Vaclav Talich on the Supraphon label 1993 which takes a very nice tempo, and the orchestr... | |
| What's wrong with Thiel? 9rw thanks for the unbias imput. Just his understanding of Thiels. Take it for what it's worth to you. My point is that the 1.6's are a 2 way with a 6.5 inch woofer going for $2k+, that's way out of line. "wheres the bass?" Onto the 9rw's note. Ye... | |

| Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi? Nik, that sums things up kinda nice. But i don't give B&W as much credit as you. Frankly there are not many reasonably priced speakers that are class "A". If you don't know what class "A" is or don't even believe in such a hypothesis, well the... |
