| Has anyone used "Quiet Rock" sheet rock in room? Also, if you are going to insulate the best option is blown in poly spray foam, next would be blown in cellulose or laying blue jean batts. Stay away from fiberglass for insulation because it's junk.Blueboard and plaster is better than sheetrock t... | |
| Will the Cayin a88t drive the Totem Hawks? I had an Cayin A88t paired with Totem Forests and thought it ran out of steam in the low end. I ultimately wasn't satisfied with the imaging or the control. I would go with a bigger tube amp or a different speaker. Mo money!On the other hand there... | |
| Has anyone used "Quiet Rock" sheet rock in room? Rigid foam is a great way to go. You can get anywhere from 1/2 in to 2 inch in 4x8 foot sheets. I have this on the exterior walls of my house and you can't hear anything. You would just need to make sure you or someone doing the project understand... | |
| Anyone heard the New Luxman gear? Luxman is very nice. Worth tracking down for a listen. I had the 30 W class A integrated on loan for a while, and have heard ss separates with Wilson WP 8's recently. Very impressed with depth, timbre, all the right qualities. I would go down the ... | |
| Is Acoustic Zen still in business? They must put all of their R&D into products, not servers! Still loading... | |
| Dylan & Starbucks anyone? I've found the Starbucks "Hear Music" label almost always has well recorded music. Don't know if this is a priority or coincidence. Haven't heard the Artist Choice Dylan cd. | |
| Buy a sub or ditch my new speakers altogether? You mentioned rushing in to buy something to try saving a buck. Maybe this speaker is not what you like? Try to get out and listen to few more. Bring the Solo along to establish a baseline. Dealers should be able to explain why the Solo would or w... | |
| Best Towers Under $4,000 / pair What do you mean by old rock and country? | |
| Spikes between speakers & stands, up or down? If nothing else works I would take a look at the orthopedic bunion gel toe cap. It looks like a good multi-use product. http://www.healthyfeetstore.com/bunionstoes.htmlI imagine it is very good for isolation and may be in the middle of the methods... | |
| Keep B&W N805, add HTM2, or get 805S? 1. 33% better.2. Depends on your bank account.3. And use the 805s as rear speakers? Refer to #2.4. Sure.5. ? | |
| Opinions on Luxman SQ-88 integrated amplifier I recently had a 25 watt class A Luxman integrated on loan for a while. It was really nice. Very dynamic, super clean and natural. Plenty of power and features and a great phono stage. No idea about the tube unit you are asking about but Mastersou... | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Check out the Devore Fidelity line. Really nice build and sound quality. | |
| Tube Amp recommendation Mastersound amps are really beautiful to listen to. Maybe just out of your range for the 20w integrated used. | |
| Ayre AX-7e vs Plinius 9200 I've owned the 8200mkII and now own the AX7e. I agree with Jmcgrogan2's opinion between the two. I do however think the Ayre is a higher quality, more accurate amp that provides more inner detail. It needs to be paired with components that bring t... | |
| Speaker Recomendations $3000 Check out the Devore Super 8 too. Really good with the music you describe. Within your budget used. |
