| Is there a perfect speaker? One step further. Even if there were a perfect speaker and it was connected to a perfect chain of perfect components, it would still be compromised by your room. | |
| Proac Super Tablette I owned a pair for several years. These are among the best imaging speakers that I've ever heard. However, in the end, the extended high end coupled with rolled off bass response proved tough to live with. IMHO, this is a great example of great st... | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? Joule is another name to consider. | |
| Youtube, the new radio? Technology driving us to a better, more democratic place. To a large (tho surely not 100%) degree, the taste making elite gets left behind. I'm all for that. | |
| German "plug and play" turntable You might look for a Lehmann black cube. I had one in my system for several years and liked it enough to have kept it as a back-up to my Aesthetix Rhea. It's a very good phono amp and there's a (used) SE version listed for sale here on A'gon right... | |

| humour me...sub set up... Phase,My understanding is that the default signal from your LFE output will contain no information above 80hz. In most cases that is fixed. However, some AVRs may allow you to change that via the bass management menu. If you have a straight pre-ou... | |
| Room Acoustics and Speaker interaction. Another vote for electronics with room correction software. Audyssey (particularly XT 32) is another excellent option.Marty | |
| Somers Point NJ Not my stomping ground, but nicely evocative description. | |
| Vivid audio Giya G1 and Wilson Maxx3 I heard earlier versions of both speakers some years back at a So Cal hi fi show. Different rooms/Different systems - so it's not precisely an apples-to-apples comparison, but....I preferred the Vivid. It was a more forward sound, but really boxle... | |
