| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? "Boston"?...Awright, that's it folks! Apparently we have a winner, named 'the best' by critical consensus! (Never read these particular 'many critics', but OK.) Time to go home! Been nice rockin' ya, wouldn't wanna schlock ya... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Yes, it came in an email which I didn't receive until after I'd posted. He stood right up and admitted it: "My bad". I would say "I was wrong" too, except I wasn't. I was merely mistaken. ;^) | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Ah yes, Hall Monitor vs. Rain Man, the best debut monster flick of all times, no stinkin' mitigating factors allowed...Doubtless RM will have his reply for the Fogerty faux pas along to us shortly...wait, I think I feel it beginning to sprinkle do... | |
| Re-issue vinyl vs. the original pressing Everybody on the pro-original side is taking only the best examples. When it comes to jazz for instance, plenty of good music was released on labels like Prestige, Atlantic and EmArcy that didn't have very good sound, but has been improved in reis... | |
| JM Labs Electra 946 lack of high-end detail Yeah, the midrange is supposed to work that way. So, you're getting plenty of sound from both tweeters and both midranges if you put your ear up to them? Hard for me to judge what you're hearing wrong then, because I certainly never heard "a bell-... | |
| dedicated 70's rock system Yeah it did! | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? BTW, "Empty Sky" wasn't released in the US until '75, a mitigating factor... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? I'd make a better hall monitor if my contributions weren't obsolete by the time I posted them... | |
| JM Labs Electra 946 lack of high-end detail Uh, guys, I'm sure the archetypal "80's speakers" Lmhlaw was referring to are neither Bostons nor JM Labs in his mind -- that was just a pejorative description of the sound. And I really don't think someone took out a healthy 6.5" mid and left a s... | |
| dedicated 70's rock system XK: Mine's still funnier. | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? More corrections not yet noted by others:Harrison's solo debut was "Wonderwall Music" on Apple in '68.Morrison's solo debut was "Blowin' Your Mind" on Bang in '67.As Ben came close to pointing out, Nirvana's debut was "Bleach" on SubPop in (can yo... | |
| JM Labs Electra 946 lack of high-end detail Are you sure the tweeters are functioning properly? I know, stupid question, but I don't even want to recount the times I've been to audiophiles' houses to audition gear they were selling and discovered they had drivers out and didn't even realize... | |
| dedicated 70's rock system Cerwin Vegas, Sansui receiver ought to do it ;-) | |
| Are monoblocks better than stereo, with tube amps? The more practical aspect which has yet to be mentioned is that monoblocks can get you the biggest dual-mono power supply (plus heatsinking capacity in traditional solid-state amps, or output transformers in traditional tube amps) without creating... | |
| Review: Spectron Musician III Signature Edition Amplifier Are the amps listed under "Similar Products" ones you actually owned with these speakers? Not shabby if you think the Musician beats those. I own Thiel 2.2's, and recently replaced VTL 185 mono's with a McCormack 500, but I have a desire to try ou... |
