| Why even bother? this has been a great discussion. Misterl, I don't think an apology is necessary . . . provocative statements are often the best way. I learned a lot from most of the posts. | |
| Why even bother? Misterl, given that criteria - I agree with you. I don't understand the technical benefits of a state of the art tuner, but my money would go into other parts of the system or the room, and I would probably stick with my Kenwood receiver as a tune... | |
| Why even bother? I agree with Muzikrat. IF I lived in a town with with a good college radio station I may have a decent tuner. But I don't so I don't. With the stations I can get, I hear far to much of them while I'm in the car. I have a cheap Kenwood receiver $10... | |
| What concert or music DVD's are worth having? I just started collecting this year after setting up my first home theater. Here's the concerts I have and like. Obviously it's gonna depend as much on your taste in music and bands, but the shows in the "best" group are all excellent. I have a co... | |
| Who has the oldest speakers? I have a pair of Wharfedale W45's - vintage 1971 - I'm the original owner - my first speakers (they sounded horrible, but great cabinets, so I rebuilt them with better drivers, crossover 3 years ago). I also still have my second pair of Speakers -... | |
| Two different brand amp in the same setup 5.1? I'm running a B&K tx4430 for the front (L, C, R), and a Parasound HCA1000A for the rears. It's quite nice, and it's nicer than when I was running a 5 channel B&K AV5125; and also nicer than when I was running a Parasound HCA1203a for the f... | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Crown Royal; Grey Goose; Kardhu 16 yr single malt - on the rocks, but one at a time, not together | |
| Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?... This may be irrelevant because They are so old, and apparently scarce . . . I have a pair of Infinity Monitor IIa speakers that I bought in 1974/5. They are described in the user manual as Transmission line and go on to elaborate on the spec's (ie... | |
| Neil Young Song "Let's Roll" where can I find It? get a grip! this discussion probably belongs on one of those other sites you reference . . . | |
| Traditional looking speakers Totem's are pretty traditional looking. Cabinets are excellent, the sound great, and are pretty compact. I think the Hawks are in that range | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. Cuke's right - Seconds Out is great album - it has something for both factions. It's a live set from concerts shortly after Gabriel left the band. It includes a monster liver version of Supper's Ready and other great PG erra songs - with Phil Coll... | |
| Looking for opinions of the B&K ST 125.2 I've had excellent experience with B&K products and their customer service. I own several pieces I'm using in various rooms. A vintage ST140 amp and CS117 pre, 2 AVP3090 processor preamps, and a AV5125 5 channel power amp. I bought one of the ... | |
| Best Genesis Album - your opinions please. My top 3 would be Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound. Though Tresspass and Nursery Cryme are also hard to beat. I'm less fond of the post-Gabriel recordings, but it's still among my favorite bands. I would pick Wind ... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I bought a pair of Infinity Monitor IIa's when in college in 1975. I didn't find a burning need to "upgrade" until the foam surrounds in the woofers disintegrated in 2003. I then bought a pair of Totem Sttaf's. The Totems are fantastic, but I foun... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Wharfedale W45's were my first (guess about $100 in 1972) - still have them but gutted the cabinets and rebuilt with with new Audax drivers/crossoverInfinity Monitor IIa's ($500 or so in 1975) - I still have them - they are all original and immac... |
