Speakers "Too Big" for room
I'm not as technical as most of you guys but I agree with Mapman. My L.R. is about 16'X14' and would love to have a pair of JBL L-300's or 4333's but it just doesn't seem like the room's big enough for them. So I have JBL L-100T's with updated cro... 
What A Drag It Is Getting Old
Airplane       Leslie Nielsen asks the stewardess when do we land. She says I can't tell. He says you can tell me I'm a doctor. LOL  
Crossover and Wiring Upgrade
Hello. Not sure which speakers you have but share my personal experience. I have a pair of JBL L100T's purchased new in '87. They were always just a tad bright on the high's but certainly listenable. Noticed this guy on eBay called the crossover c... 
Ozzie Ozbourne is Dead
Some great responses here except one , there's always one in the crowd isn't there? Rock on Ozzy . g.b.  
Your opinions on the Polk R700 speakers
I think soix is on the right track , I'd get them reconditioned.  
CD's or Vinyl?
I cannot imagine a record sounding as good as a SACD on a high end player. Most of these newer SHM CD's are great too. The 24 bit remastered Redbooks also. Gave up vinyl 40 years ago.  
Local pickup for speakers - should I let the buyer in the house or use the the garage?
kerrybh has the right idea. There's post's here from dreamers and realists I am the latter. A good con man can fool anyone. Have a couple guys there with you , if you don't know anyone hire them easy to do and have a pistol racked and ready hidden... 
Is AI going to kill Hifi?
I don't like anything about this AI. To me it seems sinister somehow. Now I did watch a lot of science fiction films as a kid.  
How old is too old?
At 79 and still kickin' real good I find the comments from these young squirts who'll be lucky to make it this far offensive. Not sure what you want to spend but 2 years ago I bought a Denon DVD A-110 SACD player. Retail was $3500 I got a deal on ... 
Audio influencers on YouTube hiding comments from public view
I've never had any interest in those influencers type   
lightning storm
HAHA 😆 😅. Be careful with that back around 1998 when the strip protectors weren't so good a lightening storm fryed the transformer in my Kenwood receiver and no parts available so it was done. I did find a replacement on eBay for $475 I think it w... 
the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile
Back in the late 60's I came across a pair of voice of the theatre Altec Lansing speakers. They were originally made for movie theatres. You'd see them in the old movie houses built in the 1930-1940's off to the sides of the room which was tiered ... 
Looking for a Short High Quality HDMI Cable
I like Audioquest cables , it seems there are about 4-5 different qualities in shorter sizes on line. If you invest in a high quality SACD player the built-in DAC is excellent.  
Comparing the JB 4367 to JBL 4349
I prefer the old JBL 4333's which are studio monitors or the home theater equivalent JBL L-300 if you can find them  
Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system.
I've always had a good 2 channel system at 79 in the old days 2 channel's all there was. Now my system will blow your socks off even if you're not wearing any. Music recording and concerts are always 2 channel. Also have a 9 channel Dolby Atmos su...
