| Best speakers in the 50-60k range ? Have your dealer install the latest Magnepan speakers in YOUR ROOM and them make a decision, PLEASE. (AR or other Tube gear generally sounds best on these, but get whatever YOU want.)Cheers,Richard | |
| I give up on new vinyl From what I was let do believe in the old days, the main issues with vinyl, besides the recording process, is the manufacturing process. Typically, the cheaper vinyl is thinner and, most importantly, is stamped quickly and not let to set before r... | |
| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? Everyone likes something different. All I can say is that if you install the item in YOUR ROOM and like it, buy it. Forget all the comments from myself and others.Personally, in our showroom we set up several Klipsch speaker sets (one at a time,... | |

Usually last forever.ARC: hard to buy a better product, but they vary. Audition some in YOUR ROOM before you make that big investment. Typically, with ARC, the more you sp... | |
| Speakers If you can find 4 Fulton FM 80's or FM 100's on ebay you will have as good of a box speaker as you can find from those days, and they will probably sound great with your receiver.JBL and horn speakers are not accurate; Cerwin-Vega was a bass-heavy... | |

| 3 things I learned from using MANY interconnect cables @clearthink:Yes, and so do each and every specific instrument that the musicians play and so do their individual choices of "stuff" they use to enhance their instrument to get the "sound" they want. As the writer of "The Buddy Holly Story" film h... | |

| Your favorite male soul voices Otis Redding--On These Arms of Mine the recording engineer said he could, "hear the tears in his voice." And this was at the end of a long day of recording work by the band he was a roadie for...great story to hear.Smokey Robinson--nothing else t... | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. @broockies: Thanks for posting the relevant information about ROOMS. As I keep posting on this forum, whatever you think you like may sound different in YOUR ROOM. Take it home and listen and then buy.Next, Levinson loved electrostatics in the ... | |
| Why don't we make a list of best pressings ? Lincoln Mayorga for Sheffield Records recorded direct-to-disc albums in the 1970's. I would say the dynamic range of these recordings will reveal many system "idiosyncrasies" that audiophiles love to discuss.Is everyone one here too young to rem... | |
