| hardwood floor and speaker I used pennies, then quaters. When you move around your speakers to repostion, pennies or even quaters may not stick with the spikes, may end up scratching the hardwood floor.Now I use speaker isolation cones. They are more expensive ($10~20), but... | |
| Most high-quality loudspeakers are 4-Ohms Nope. But you knew that, didn't you :)? Well, sort of, but was not quite sure. ;) I had it direct quoted from somewhere without much context. How about "there are more high end speakers with 4 ohm than 8 ohm?"When I had relatively cheap amps, I co... | |
| Speaker suggestions A used (almost new) Tyler D2 at $3700+s/h here in AGon would be hard to beat. Or, Linbrook super tower at $3200 shipped? | |
| Horror story turned into a happy ending So you are saying that I was still lucky that UPS listened my late claim even though it was denied later due to lateness?Well, if you think so be it that way, but sorry, my brain does not work that way. Anyway, it appears to me that it did not rea... | |
| Horror story turned into a happy ending My intention was not to so much critisize UPS, but to share some good experience with merchants.However, UPS still could do a lot better job.1. If they were to deny any late claim, they should not have picked up the speaker.2. They should have mad... | |
| Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music While you were at RMAF, did you check Tyler speakers?Tyler D1 or D2 may serve your purpose at half the price you are to spend. | |
| Distorted sound on speakers Right. The solo piano music reveals the problem very well.Replacing/Swapping tweeters/woofers -- are they supposed to be an easy and safe job, even for those who are goofy in taking into parts and putting into a whole?I will first try to swap the ... | |
| Distorted sound on speakers I have two amps. 100WPC solid state power amp and 55WPC tube int amp. The speakers suffer the same problem with both amps.Assuming the tweeter is fried, would it be an easy fix? | |

| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 I agree that Arcam cd23 is a bit forwarding and shy of base. But those are not much of concern when I can feel superb quality of music it produces.I have Tyler Taylo 7U speakers. One of my friends asked to have them for a while and now I have my s... | |
| Arcam fmj cd23 vs cd33 For me, among many upgrades done over 6 years, the biggest difference was from Yaqin MC10L (Chinese 55WPC int tube amp) to Linn SS power amp/Rogue tube pre amp -- $550 vs $4800 if new.The second, from B&W 603 S3 to Tyler Taylo 7U -- $1000 vs $... | |
