| Downward facing subwoofer on carpet, bad idea? IMHO, most all sub's are placed on carpeted floors, and most are downward firing. You don't lose low frequencies reflecting off carpet - only high frequencies - so there should be no problem at all. My Rel sub is on carpet and fires down . . . sou... | |
| REL subwofer High Level vs Low Level connection I prefer connection to the high level from my amp outputs. Rel's logic seems sound for recommending this as the best implementation. | |
| Prog Rock Also try Mostly Autumn. Great band with a great female vocalist - maybe more like the original Renaissance (later resurrected as Illusion) fronted by Jane Relf and Jim McCarty | |
| Prog Rock by far the best of the current lot IMO is Porcupine Tree. I also like Chroma Key, Gordion Knot, and OSI (Office of Strategic Inlfuence) which is a collaboration between the Chroma Key and Gordion Knot players. These bands are all very original - a... | |
| Bass amp for a tri-amped system? there's a pair of Electron Kinetics Eagle 400 Mono block amps advertized on A'gon. I don't know the seller but the Eagle amps deliver excellent tight bass. Given your system, you may want to send those amps to Russ Sherwood at EKSC to have them ch... | |
| TAD Rocks Big Time oh no. What a loss - he was only 48. RIP Paul, and thanks for everything. | |
| 5 Channel Power Amp Recommendtions have you considered NOT using a 5 channel amp? I run mono blocks on my front channels, and a stereo amp on my rears.It's the best way to optimize your 2 channel music performance. | |
| Bi-amp question 03-11-12: Kr4"I'm doing vertical passive biamp on one of my systems and it does perform better than other single amp configurations, but the speakers are unique in that they take advantage of it. "Can you explain how the speakers are designed to t... | |
| Bi-amp question I agree with what the others have said. Even with the exact same amps, my experience is that 3 out of 4 cases the benefits aren't worth the effort and cost of 2 amps - you're better off trading in your NAD for a better amp.I'm doing vertical passi... | |
| which cowboy junkies cd? Good call on Mazzy Starr. Hope Sandoval's (singer for MS) solo stuff is also excellent. | |
| How many albums do you need ? all of them. | |
| which cowboy junkies cd? I can see now I missed the real question Nottop posted with my last response: "If you love Cowboy Junkies you should also consider x"I have a hard time thinking of anyone that is really like Cowboy Junkies. A few artists that evoke a similar mood ... | |
| which cowboy junkies cd? ALL of the most recent releases are great. The Nomad series is fantastic, especially "Renmin Park" and "Demons". "Sing in My Meadows" is a little harder edge and I haven't warmed to it as much as the first 2 volumes, but like it none the less. "Th... | |
| Blues, Jazz, Rock Violinists? I always liked David Cross's work with King Crimson. I know he did some solo work but I'm not sure it got much play. Also Michael Urbaniak is pretty good. | |
| Steve Hackett's The Shrouded Horizon, 2011's best. Its very good as are many of Hackett's solo albums over the years...too many gems there to mention.I've become a huge Hackett fan again over the last 10 years or so.HAckett is a very unique and prolific artist, guitarist and composer. His large ca... |
