| Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system cleeds Randi’s offer was just a promotional stunt.Do you want to know how Randi really works? Details here. I think Randi later admitted the cable company backed out. As to how the experiment would be carried out, that's a different subject. I... | |
| Is there a magic formula for spending on components in a system Hey millercarbon,You always seem to be a huge proponent of power cables and speaker wires having a huge impact on the sound quality. I'm not saying you're wrong, but James Randi has offered a prize of $1 million to anyone who can demonstrate that... | |
| You know you are an Audiophile when: You have 17 items there. Not everyone who calls themselves an audiophile is going to say all 17 are true and certainly someone who does fewer than 5 should probably not call themselves an audiophile. What is the number that puts one over the top i... | |
| is this the greatest live band of all time? Don't you have to be "alive" to be a "live" band? | |
| Seeking advice on Speakers that create an intimate 2 channel listening experience Another vote for Magnepans. With that budget you can afford the 20.7s, but with limited space, you probably wouldn’t want the 30.7s because of the extra bass panel. Not many speakers can compete with the mids and highs of Magnepans and very few ca... | |
| Minimonitors I found a pair of used Magnepan 20.1s on Audiogon for $5500 and absolutely love them. For home theater, I added the B&W MT-60D Mini Theater system which I got for $2000 ($1000 off retail). The PV1D subwoofer adds some punch to the Magnepans fo... | |
| Doe you enjoy your listening to music and your system more with others or alone? Typically, much more enjoyable alone because I like loud rock and certain songs simply must be played at high volume to have impact. But when it comes to listening with other people, it depends on who those people are. I have a husband and wife as... | |
| I'm here for the enthusiasts, not the snobbery geoffkaitDon't forget about T.E. Lawrence aka Lawrence of Arabia. While on his Brough Superior SS100 motorcycle he swerved to avoid two boys on bicycles he could not see after coming over a hill, went off the road, and was thrown over the handle... | |
| Magico M9 The new 'norm' in speakers justbgunn"This website says each speaker is 80 feet tall." You're making the same mistake they made for the Stonehenge measurements in This is Spinal Tap except the opposite way. So 80 inches is 6 ft. 8 in.But what no one else noticed except me is... | |
| What was your most disappointing album purchase? This Way - Jewel. I didn't actually buy the CD but my daughters bought it for me because I liked the first hit Standing Still. The rest of the CD was tripe. | |
| What to buy? I'm a fan of Magnepan and Emotiva too. I owned Magnepan MG-IIIs for 20 years and decided an upgrade was needed. I found used Magnepan 20.1s for $5500 (new $12,000) and couldn't be happier. Your amp will have no problem driving any of the Magnepan ... | |
| Do these woofers look right on these Dunlavys IVA's? dwellerI'm not sure what you're looking at but I zoomed in on quite a few of the photos in your link and at least half of them had doped woofers. Time for a trip to the eye doctor? | |
| What kind of listener are you? I'm definitely an AF listener because I will analyze a song for why I think it brings pleasure. Very rarely will I get a chill from a song, but when I do, it's from just a few songs and always at the same point in the song, so I wouldn't call myse... | |
| Silver is the appropriate color for everything but speakers. Avocado. Oh sorry, I thought we were talking about appliances. I'm also fond of orange shag carpeting. | |
| The Forest for the Trees Like edcyn said, there's something about certain recordings, call it clarity, that really grabs my attention and takes a song to a different level. To me, it sounds like you could hear a pin drop in the recording studio. These recordings share ins... |
