| Subwoofers down-firing or side-firing? Why? I own 2 RELs from a similar era, a Q108MKII down firing 8", and a Q150e front firing 10". They are GREAT subs and work swimmingly together. Bought used at different times for about 200 bucks each...make my own cables out of Canare quad. | |
| McCormack DNA with Schiit Preamp? Bite the bullet and get a Schiit Freya +...possibly the best bargain in audio...I've owned the original version for years and it sounds utterly transparent, very low noise floor (virtually undetectable), has more stuff to play with than any other ... | |
| Did any Amp help you understand lyrics better? A well designed tube amp is clear and clean, and should not dampen the high frequencies one iota but provide more detail. The ability to hear the cues that make lyrics more audible generally comes from clear treble, and overly bright treble in sol... | |
| Question For Those That Watch Movies/TV Through Your Two Channel System I've run a stereo line from my DVR to a 100 watt (supposedly) receiver to an older but great sounding pair of Boston Acoustics A60s (replaced the woofer once) on stands for years. Excellent stereo sound for tubbage. | |
| Am I too big of a jerk,even for audiogon? Being a jerk is a byproduct of narcissism, aptly demonstrated by this thread. | |
| SPDIF cable same as coaxial cable? I use 2 (CD player and streamer) AQ silver cables made for SPDIF and I'm afraid to try anything else as I risk insulting the cables, possibly causing them to tarnish or worse. | |
| Best garage speakers You can buy a new pair of EAW designed Mackie SRM450 1000 watt (powered) PA speakers that could blow the doors off your garage for about a grand a pair. I've used these in various forms for pro sound work for decades, and they're virtually bulletp... | |
| Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe Note that Dennis Had sells new amps on eBay only (except some "Dragon Inspire" stuff over at Moon Audio), and as with any lower powered single ended amp you should use efficient speakers. My "Firebottle HO" is the best sounding amp I've heard in m... | |
| purchasing US made speakers I love my Klipsch Heresy IIIs used with a couple of REL subs, and the new Heresy IVs might be even better although I haven't heard them. Clean and clear with the punch and dynamics that efficient speakers seem best able to deliver...another advant... | |
| Aegir upgrade to Pass...maybe I owned 2 Aegirs as the first one was faulty and was replaced. The second one had the same issue (although not as pronounced as the first) of shutting itself off when pushed a little (and not so much...my 99db speakers get loud fast with little wa... | |
| Jazz is not Blues and Blues is not Jazz....... To try and make that distinction shows 2 things: You know very little about either, and you don't know any serious musicians. | |
| All New Acoustic Energy AE520 Flagship Loudspeakers // The Carbon Fiber Giant Killers ?! What about wood fibre! It's AMAZING! Pulp, paper, MDF, plywood, musical instruments...WOW! | |
| Speakers hung from ceiling on aircraft cable. One advantage to hanging the speakers is the ability to spin them around while playing stuff to get that Leslie organ speaker tone...not necessarily useful, but doable. | |
| SET amps Try a Dennis Had amp from ebay...or anywhere else...a handmade masterpiece that shines with efficient speakers. | |
| Floored by Beatles "White Album" Reissue I bought the Miles remix CD of Sgt. Pepper and it's unlistenable due to extreme treble...just bad...maybe the vinyl is better but man...and my original copy of the White Album still works so...meh... |
