Like Herbie Hancock's funk, more please
Praxis may be over the top, Funkadelic meets heavy metal, but with Buckethead on guitar its wild and worth a listen. Victor Wooten has a couple solo albums that are jazzy and funky. Papa Grows Funk is, uh funky. And have you heard Brand New Heavie... 
Speakers for small listening room
Pick up those $499 Swans M1s, sell the KEFs and you will have not spent your $3000. The M1s are clean and fast with a great ribbon tweeter that has a wide horizontal and narrow vertical dispersion that may work well in your room. You can keep them... 
Seeking feedback on Swan, Paradigm and Triangle
Glad you like them. You know how it is here, if you seem to like something too much people think you have an agenda. Some guy is really pushing Reality One monitors with revelator woofers. I may try them but when someone says suff like they blow e...

Psychicanimal, yours must be getting broken in by now, what do you think? Expect them to improve a little more after much use. By the way at first glance I thought it said Psycocriminal, sorry cant shake it. 
Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500
Saw some ACI Jaguars listed today. If I was looking for monitors I might check them out. Last pair sold in a couple of days. 
TAS new look-the end is near?
I am inespeptic, frasmatic and compunctious to think I have caused any paracombobulations. 
TAS new look-the end is near?
One of the most entertaining things about TAS was the attitude, the snobbery and the inane feud with Stereophile. The way they took themselves so seriously was part of the attraction for me. Im not saying that it was correct, just that it was more... 
Pros and cons of belt drive Versus direct drive
If you could make a perfect motor direct drive might be better. As is motors are not and the cogging effect took direct drive out of high end. Garrards are still popular in GB but I dont think they can compete with good belt drives. It only makes ... 
My first amp purchase
I wouldnt expect leaps and bounds that would leave a well chosen amp in the dust in five years. Some of the best amps out there are from manufacturers that are refining not redesigning their products. What sounds better than a five year old Spectr... 
Musical Design Pre Amp
Glad to here it worked out ok. At one time mine sounded a little "fuzzy" but a re-tube and it sounds great. 
Seeking feedback on Swan, Paradigm and Triangle
Cellorover, your response was generous and tactful, two qualities I confess mine was lacking. One thousand apologies. Swans is a completly different company now and their products have changed a lot. They import and use in their own designs high q... 
Seeking feedback on Swan, Paradigm and Triangle
You asked about Swans and I refered to the M1s. Why did you ask about them if you dont know what they are? You are probably better off with Paradigm. 
"naked" listeners
My theory is dust will not settle on vibrating diaphragms, so put the grills back on when you are not listening. I am genius, no? 
Seeking feedback on Swan, Paradigm and Triangle
Never saw your thread, dont think it posted. Found it under unanswered questions. I have the Swan M1, like them alot. Not much feedback on them. Go to more chat and search "swans". 
Musical Design Pre Amp
I have used a SP2-B with several amps including Belles and Marsh and it was always very quiet. If both amp and preamp are working correctly you should not here any noise. Maybe a bad tube?
