| What's a great system at these price points? Joseph,All the answers to you questions have been beaten to death here and everywhere else, but I have no problem with your o.p.As always, disregard the advice of long term audiophiles in favor of the 'latest and greatest' at your peril.I have no ... | |
| 2-channel vs 3-channel/5channel To answer your question, yes, you will get a lot from the addition of one or several channels. Adding channels gives the potential for improved sound, but...that all depends on execution. | |
| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. Unfortunately my hearing was unprotected in 100+ db music for hours on end, for years and years and I am paying the price now. These systems could literally knock the wind out of you with a bass note (dozens of JBL 12-15" drivers driven by gobs of... | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Csontos,I don't know what you are questioning but your last post was one of the craziest I've read. If your not willing to start with facts the rest is noise.Zen,okay, but in the meantime, how long are you willing to wait for the facts? History wa... | |
| Budget 2-ch vinyl playback system? It's hard to beat the sound of what Marakanetz proposed for the money. Audioengine or Emotive acrive speakers would sound good also and sound more refined than you will find wit 70's gear. | |
| Am I totally nuts or just a bit off? Of course, one man/women sitting on a stool reciting poetry might favor a mono recording. The more complex and numerous the musicians the larger the hall all lend to a multi microphone/input recording.Casablanca is magical in black and white and I... | |
| Am I totally nuts or just a bit off? From a technical standpoint stereo has nothing to do with the number of channels as long as it's more than one. Two, four or twelve channels, they are all stereo.Most audiophiles should see the value in capturing a live performance with each instr... | |
| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. The moniker is a nickname that guys used for me in the 80's when we were installing state of the art (re:loud) audio/video in nightclubs around Boston-NYC. The Zen comes from my education where I wasted my parents money on studying comparative (ea... | |
| VPI 3D tonearm Dear Halcro,First, thanks for the advice, I am always looking to transcend my shortcomings and sometimes the best observations come from the most curious places. I could have worded my post better, no antagonism was intended.This quote:I have zero... | |
| Anthonyn Cordesman on Edward Snowden Mrtennis,Stossel provides a unique perspective that you won't often find in today's media. Being a Liberterian, my views are much aligned with Mr. Stossel although I keep an open mind about every issue and try not to let politics influence the out... | |
| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. They will shake a foundation if the bass units are not properly controlled. They are some big ass bass drivers that will move some air, that's for sure.Are the twins becoming good little audio kids? | |
| Bands where U say The Big Bopper, Richie Valens and Buddy Holly,The Day the Music Died. | |
| VPI 3D tonearm If Continuum HAD in fact developed the first 3D printed tonearms......Harry Weisfeld would look pretty silly making such a 'song and dance' about it 10 years down the track?!You obviously have a underlying resentment towards all things VPI/Harry W... | |
| Do Slot loading Transports have sonic Advantages I have a 20 year old Sony x77es that has a very thick molded polymer bed with solid aluminum faceplate that runs on a sled that reminds me of a swiss watch when activated. It is a mechanical thing of beauty. Although the inboard dac sounds great t... | |
| B&W matrix 801 s2 still a relavant speaker. I started out running a 250w Bryston in stereo eventually I purchased another 250w Bryston and then they were happy. Over the years I added Bass Alignment and Sound Anchor stands. I agree with Jeff the Kevlar mids are very nice and the bass driver... |
