| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? It would be a shame to waste the Osiris, and they are not easy to ship! | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? @yogiboy I am currently using the P3s, but will be using 30.1 or Super HL5+, and the Osiris stands woulds be taller than ideal. | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Thanks for the replies! @millercarbon – he did not say that. I misinterpreted one of his responses on the Harbeth forum. He was referring to a speaker in a confined space. Though he did say that it shouldn’t matter (in terms of bass) whether the w... | |
| Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down? Just curious about whether others have tried this with any speakers, and what their experiences were. | |
| Video question: 55" TV recommendations (details within)? Thanks tvad.It was an outstanding television, and had I not moved abroad, I expect that I would probably still be using it! I do remember the P-i-P feature. I didn't use it much, but it was wild. | |
| Video question: 55" TV recommendations (details within)? Thank you all for your responses!It is, in a way, pleasing that Sony is a consensus choice. I say that because before I moved out of the U.S., I had the last of the flagship Sony XBR CRT TV. It was a monster in terms of weight, but the picture was... | |
| Is it a good idea to buy CD players over 10 years old even it is a reliable brand? I am using a near-20 year old Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP, and it sounds superb. Note, however, that I did replace the (Philips) laser once.How long will it last? Don't know, but it's built like a tank. Does it sound as good as more recent models, or... | |
| Billy Cobham Question Very cool, and what a "power" drummer he was/is! | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) Yes, I would be restricted to used C7ES3, SH5+, and M30.1, and even some of those would be stretching the budget.Thanks. | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) "Harbeth"Perhaps, but which one? | |
| New house, new amp, and speaker options (Harbeth, Maggies, GMA or...?) Thanks helo – that is helpful! | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Thanks, that makes sense. As much as I have enjoyed the E-303X, I would never have suggested that it was closely comparable to the Concentra that I owned, either. | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Interesting. Why do you say that? Not that I am underrating the Accuphase, as it is excellent. | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Thanks guys. I can grab an H160 for under $1500, so probably worth a go.I appreciate the input. | |
| Thinking of a used Hegel H160 integrated – thoughts and/or alternatives? Thanks. I do like the Accuphase quite a bit, but don't think that it is in the class of my earlier Rowland, and I would be surprised if it could hold its own with the Hegel.The DAC and remote would also be welcomed. |
