| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Jji666,I do the same. I'm very happy buying older models for much less.Just bought some JSE .6 stand mounts for my bedroom. They sound great to me. At some point I'll probably rotate another speaker in and sell of give these to a buddy.I hope to h... | |
| Recommendation for Integrated Amp with Tone Controls If you'll consider used, the Anthem 225 is powerful with tone controls. (I own it and bypass the tone controls.) 225 wpc will energize anything I have. There are several reviews online. I think list is $1800 or so, but I bought mine for under $100... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll Shurman is good. I agree with Joe Henry. Not sure if Jeff Talmadge is a fit, but I like him. Don Henry is great, too. Turnpike Troubadours, 2 Dollar Pistols, Whitey Morgan, Jason Isbell, Boxmasters, etc. | |
| living room as an Audio Laboratory Yesterday I bought a pair of JSE .6 standmount to rotate with my Silverline Minuets in my bedroom.Cost was $150 with stands. To me they sound great - outstanding for the money. My girlfriend loves them and sang several songs including all the lyri... | |
| living room as an Audio Laboratory You have a solid system now, congrats! Everyone is giving you good advice. Everyone is different, but I tend to buy used, nos, etc. A good dealer can help a lot- unfortunately I don't have one due to location. I would fight the feeling to bet all ... | |
| Albums you can listen too all the way through and it's all good Any Dave Brubeck and T Monk (that I have.) Bella Fleck, etc.I tend to get tired of songs with lyrics played over and over, but not instrumental jazz. | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Yogiboy- interesting, thanks for the link! | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? I agree. I saw an early Jaguar (E type 4.2) at a wine festival and talked to the owner awhile. It was the most beautiful car I have ever seen. The lines were perfect to me, like it was designed out of a dream, I suppose it was. The owner said he l... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll Haha, didn't notice the date! Oh well, not the dumbest thing I've done by far... | |
| Why are so many companies like harbeth making old speakers designs and charging thousends? Jakecanada,Good questions. You can see from the responses that opinions vary as to pricing and value in the market, understandably.From my limited knowledge it does seem that newer designs (last 10-15 years) allow some smaller speakers to produce ... | |
| Best Country/Rock - Poll American Flyer is one of my favorites, but it's a little hard to find. I'm pretty sure it was made up of some of the Pure Prairie League guys before they became more well known. | |
| Top 10 Alt-country bands I agree with the Byrds and Jayhawks, great bands. I ended up with a good many JL Lewis albums- Jimmy Swaggart's cousin I think, piano playing fool! | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I agree with the lack of audio stores. I am 150 miles from a couple, 300 miles from Dallas. But I'm aware that many people test the gear in stores and buy online for a better price. I'm not passing judgement, just stating a fact.No telling what th... | |
| Negotiating when buying demo and used speakers from a dealer I agree with the others- I would try to negotiate, tactfully. Especially in the case of a trade in or private seller. I think many sellers will allow for some negotiating room, expecting a little back and forth. However, some don't and get all wou... | |
| What's going on with the audio market? I'm 55 and have always had a system. I have actively bought and sold gear for ten years, but slowing down now and enjoying my music more. There seems to be a large number of gear manufacturers fighting for market share. This competition is good fo... |
