| Best speaker stands for bookshelf speakers Stands are critical. They are a true extension of your speaker. I use the Sistrum Mini Monitor platforms. State of the art sound. They are based on resonance transfer rather than absorbtion. Decoupling vs coupling. Check out my review of these bab... | |
| The "coolest" looking system? You're right. Viggen's is untouchable. I, humbly, stand corrected. | |
| The "coolest" looking system? I do not have the coolest looking system, but I do have, probably the coolest looking and sounding monitor platforms. They are called: Sistrum Mini Monitor Platforms. Soon, they should have a picture of this baby on their website. Picture, if you ... | |
| Cary CD 306/200; what else? Audio Aero Prima. New $2200, but can be found nicely discounted. I liked it much better than the Carey. This, and it won't be for long, is the best kept secret out there. Its' big brother, well you know..find a place to audition this baby. You'll ... | |
| Subwoofer recommendations for this system? Check this out. I know it's never recommended because it's not really advertised by Sunfire that much. Give a listen to their Architectural Series. It is designed for two channel systems. One front firing 10" or 12" woofer, depending on model. I d... | |
| Considering replacing revel M-20 stands. You have the right website. Ask for Robert. He's smart, patient, low key and will explain it all to you. The pictures of their stands are not on their website yet, but will be, I believe, very shortly. How's this for trust? I bought them sight uns... | |
| Considering replacing revel M-20 stands. Audiotweak beat me to it. Check out my review. I am using these stands with my M 20s. It's all in the review. You will instantly hear the difference when you place your M20s on these babies. Don't let the price freak you out too much. What they wi... | |
| Sinatra - good vs great The further back you go with Sinatra, the better. He did not get better with age. He was primo in the 40s and early 50s. Killer, when he sang for Dorsey, although there's more band than Siantra. Don't get me wrong, he has some good late 50s stuff,... | |
| Any small speakers equal in sound to Hales Rev III Never heard the Hales, but I have heard and own the Revel M 20s. With a killer pair of stands (not Revels) they are supreme. I love 'em. $2000 list, but can be nicely discounted. | |
| Do isolation devices really help? Where does all the air born resonances go to after they get into your electronics? How do they escape? It would seem that these isolation devices, in themselves, help keep those resonances right where you don't want them. You want all resonances t... | |
| Do isolation devices really help? No they don't. Just think about this. After you put all your electronics on the best cones, pads, concrete, whatever; how do you keep them safe from airborne resonances? They can't. Case closed. You should couple, not decouple. I could go on, but ... | |
| Need help choosing new CD player After, my usual researching to death bit, and listening too, of course, I have decided to purchase the Audio Aero Prima. What I have compared it to really doesn't matter. Does it? YOU, really have to listen for yourself and let your ears tell you.... | |
| My Next Miles Davis Disc? Very simple. If you liked Kind of Blue, you'll love these:Cookin'Steamin'MilestonesMilesRelaxin' These are all with the Miles Davis Quintet. Serious jazz. The sky is the limit from here, but I just gave you some Miles. The post suggesting Cannonal... | |
| Review: Sistrum Mini-Minitor Platform Support-SMM 1 Stand I called Robert over at Audiopoints to find out about the platforms and their younger brother. ( another outrageous speaker platform.) They are redoing their website with new photos and it should be happening in 10 days. So you'll have to wait a b... | |
| B&W N805 vs Revel M20 The biwiring, as you said,is the only advantage you're going to get with the 805s. And it won't matter, soundwise, compared to the Revels anyway. I auditioned them against the M20s. Very quick audition for me. Does it really matter what I (or anyo... |
