| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions Another vote for Tekton and I honestly hate saying Millercarbon was right about something. | |
| Is Old Music Killing New Music? hilde45 "Every generation, blames the one before" - Mike and the Mechanics, The Living Years. Could it be that the generations younger than the boomers have had it too easy when they were raised and just aren't willing to work hard enough to get... | |
| Need speaker recommendations. If I was going to spend that kind of money on new speakers, I'd spend just a little more (say $9,450/pair right now which includes shipping in the continental U.S.) and go for the Tekton Ulfberhts. Yes, some people say they need to at least 3 feet... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer It took reading all the way down the first page of this thread before someone mentioned value (thanks henry53). There can be no doubt that McIntosh products are very well built, last a long time, and for most people, sound just fine. If you don't ... | |
| Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati has signed off :-( During the turkey drop as everybody was in the studio listening to Les describe the scene, all were all horrified except for Johnny who just sat there with a wry smile on his face. Classic Dr. Johnny Fever. | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. larsman It's closer than you probably think it is. Grand Funk Railroad sold 25 million albums while Creedence sold 26 million. GFR had 7 top ten albums, two #1 singles, but never a #1 album. Creedence had 5 top ten albums, zero #1 singles, and tw... | |
| Michael Aday (Metloaf) has passed away. Paradise By the Dashboard Lights is just one of those songs that when you were young and you got off of work on a Friday evening and you heard it on the way home, it got you pumped up and ready for the whole weekend, especially if you had some par... | |
| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs flrun But when Sarah McLachlan does those ASPCA commercials, even the dogs think she's being a little heavy handed (credit to Jim Gaffigan). | |
| Share MYSTICAL, HAUNTING songs No one remembers Timothy by The Buoys? My stomach was full as it could be And nobody ever got around To finding Timothy Wonder if anyone ever wrote a song about the Donner Party? | |
| Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good I was going to write another joke reply by listing greatest hits albums of great artists, then I thought I'd just play it straight. The Who - Who's Next Rumours - Fleetwood Mac Boston - Boston Aja - Steely Dan Breakfast in America - Supertram... | |
| Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer - It's seasonally appropriate and I just keep thinking about poor old grandma. | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers REL subs seem to be the only company/product that the majority of Audiogoners can agree on. I've never seen anything like it. Are there dissenters? Of course, but we're talking "majority" here. | |
| Something Millercarbon has preached Be A Better Listener. Do not get mired in data. That article would have been much more helpful if he actually provided a set of tips on what to listen for. Yes, he provided some information on how bass notes are produced and knowing the different parts of a bass note might help determine if you... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? hilde45 This will be my last post on this subject. You said: "That's not a question I can make sense of without some kind of science fiction scenario." Not being able to make sense of it sounds to me like it was meaningless to you. The whole poi... | |
| How do you know when a stereo sounds good? hilde45 I think the purposes of the OP’s questions were to see if anybody had an explanation different from "I just feel it and know it." I agree with you that the vast majority of the answers will likely be that one, but that doesn’t mean someon... |
