| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? I've used various horn speakers for decades and maybe they do sound bright if you use crap to drive them, but otherwise that's simply not true. I dragged Altec A7s around years ago and those things are anything but bright…the horn in those is basi... | |
| Crown XLS 1502.... real life test. I don't use pro amps in my hifi rig although I own a few and do live sound professionally from time to time (using self powered speakers and subs often). For my listening rig it's a single ended tube amp with relatively low power as I like the ton... | |
| Two subs or not Two subs? My single REL was never directional, but I added a second one (also costing 200 bucks used), a Q108II…it's all better as the RELs are dissimilar (an 8" down firing, and a 10" forward firing) and complementary. | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! Ridiculous. Disconnecting a speaker will immediately lower the overall level…big deal. I prefer listening to stereo sound, and if I am having a conversation I turn the thing down…please do not consider this comment a response only because I don't ... | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! Arafiq…at least you can compensate for the lack of hifi satisfaction with the McLaren so all is not lost. | |
| Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh? Everyone (well, maybe not everyone, but for the purposes of this comment) had an uncle or dad or somebody in their life who was the old dude with the McIntosh gear who listened to live opera or jazz and nobody else cared about it much. I don't own... | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! All one needs to do to get great sound is to coat your sound room with 2" foam rubber, have a carpeted concrete slab floor, use Magico M project speakers with $200,000 amps of your choice, use wire that costs more than a McLaren, and listen to wel... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? Who said this is fun? It's serious business man... | |
| High End is Dead? A couple of things…many young people attend concerts in droves (actual droves), and not just for electronica, so there’s that. Also, "high end" has always been dead in the sense that the amount of people who "actively listen" to recorded music has... | |
| Schiit not that Good? Judgmentday, I feel your pain...I have an amazing sounding dual mono balanced Kavent S-33/Vincent (rebadged for reasons I don't understand) preamp that I have actually dragged to friend's houses to see if it sounded any better than other things, a... | |
| Tube Preamps..... I personally don’t get the LISST tube thing for the Freya as there are already 2 non tube stages built into it, although higher gain or fear of tubes may be the reason…in any case I’ve settled on NOS Sylvania "chrome domes" in the first tube stage... | |
| Disappointed w/ Klipsch Heresy III. Now what? The Heresy IIIs I bought are still available on Ebay for about 1500 bucks by the way (well, not MINE as I refuse to give them up…but the Nevada dude still sells the "damaged box" free shipping ones and seems to offer the best deal out there)…and m... | |
| Schiit not that Good? They established the "jam band" concept so there's that, and were a zero downbeat cruise feel…some great musicianship though, and the 2 studio albums "Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty" were fabulous. | |
| Long lost songs "Where did Vincent Van Go?" Part of the anti Don Maclean movement sung by Bobby Neuwirth at at Chris Kristofferson show in the 70s. I am still part of the anti Don Maclean movement. | |
| Schiit not that Good? I've been somewhat of a "Jerry Fan" since they did a couple of shows in Honolulu in 1970 (I recently found my original $3 ticket in some stuff from my late mother's house). To me, and most musicians around at that time, you could not imagine that ... |
