| Did your system ever get so good it pushed you out of the house? Concerts for nationally known performers have become ridiculously expensive. And then you add in parking, beverages, snack, etc. and it gets even more ridiculous. Since I’ve already spent a lot on my home system, why not stay home and listen? For ... | |
| Your favorite 'concept' album Sgt. Pepper - can you imagine if Strawberry Fields and Penny Lane had been included as originally intended? 2112 - Works even better than Sgt. Pepper as a concept album. I can't possibly include The Wall when it comes in 4th behind Dark Side, Wish... | |
| What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it? 15 year old Magnepan 20.1s, originally $12,500, bought for $5,500 right here on Audiogon. Magnificent sound. | |
| 1st Album you Ever Owned? Joy to the World: Their Greatest Hits - Three Dog Night 1974 | |
| You can Vote for Most Valuable Lead Vocals (Rock Groups) mcslippWhile I might agree that Van Halen had more good songs with David Lee Roth than with Sammy, I think their two best songs are Dreams and Right Now (with Jump a close third), both with Sammy. Also, Roth is not really a good singer and he's th... | |
| Thinking about the good old days... Infinity Rsb speakers driven by Marantz 2025 receiver with Sony PS-T2 turntable. Still have them all and all still in good working condition. First album was Three Dog Night greatest hits. Still have the album too. | |
| Who are your three favorite female singers? Karen Carpenter - best popGrace Slick - best rockAretha Franklin - best soulI would have included Ella for best jazz had I been allowed another choice. I always break them out by genre so I don't have to pick just one. | |
| Lemons are an actual thing in high-end audio When life gives you lemons, make whiskey sours. | |
| One of the Best Stereo System in the World! He says he uses it for home theater too, just wondering where the screen is. Doesn't seem like a screen would work with that huge center speaker. | |
| What other hobby... Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica. | |
| Sam here.l realize now why so many people think my ideas are crazy? What does this say about women who shave their pubes? Are their genitals deaf to the sweet music I make down there? I expect this entire thread to be removed soon enough. | |
| Looking to improve my system For live performance sound, another vote for Magnepan. Few other speakers can do imaging as well as Magnepans. For about 10K (maybe less), you can pick up used 20.7s. Now realize that Magnepans are 4 ohm speakers with low sensitivities, usually ar... | |
| M900U vs the world "Comparing a Lux to a Emotiva ?" Yes, I compared the specs as I said and there is very little difference. Don't forget that my very first sentence was "I'm not saying the Emotiva BasX A-300 sounds as good as the M900U". The whole point of my post ... | |
| M900U vs the world I just read at least two websites that said the M900U costs $19,900 (I rounded it up to $20,000) but I did find another that said $17,999. If you can find it cheaper, all the more power to you because I'm all about saving the money for other thing... | |
| M900U vs the world I'm not saying the Emotiva BasX A-300 sounds as good as the M900U, but if you look at the specs, except for the instantaneous max output of the M900U, they really don't look much different. The Emotiva BasX A-300 costs $399 while the M900U costs $... |
