| Are The Klipsch Heritage Series Really Worthy? There are lots of mods you can do to bring the LaScala up to a steller performer. On mine, I've rewired them with all silver wire, replaced the tweeters, replaced the Xovers with ALK crossovers, added adhesive damping sheets to the midrange horn -... | |
| Disappointing Evening I don't understand being frustrated at all! It's like expecting people to appreciate a great wine or tobacco when they are not experienced with either. Friends are more important than things. Why be frustrated that someone doesn't share the same s... | |
| So, what DON'T you spend money on? Tvad - you should investigate those smokeless combuster units made in Germany for healthy extraction of THC molecules!I agree that many do trade off stuff for investment in good sound. Usually those things aren't in our value system anyway, so we ... | |
| How Important is RPM for Hard Drives Thanks. Got the 5400 green drive. I don't mind waiting longer for the backup to occur! | |
| How Important is RPM for Hard Drives I am mostly investing in cheap 2tb drives and making sure I have several redundent backups. I had a RAID drive but it was super noisy and the disks didn't stop spinning when my computer slept. Perhaps a better RAID drive would help. I'm basically ... | |
| Totem... Bass? Don't agree with Nadman12. I think the Model-1 has very nice bass, more natural than the Mani-2's, if you are not trying to fill too large of a room. Need a good stand, good amplification, etc. | |
| Amps that are "forward" Berning ZH270 is very forward, in my experience. | |
| Best shipper for 200lb amp? That should work out well for you. One hitch is insurance. I believe Pilot Air can insure for dissappearance but not damage. You may be able to purchase some additional insurance through an outside party. I've taken that chance with Pilot, and no ... | |
| magneplanar and sanders I would agree that the Maggies likely need more accutriments than the Sanders. Everything I did helped: biamping, a high quality external crossover, Mye stands - so include all that in your budget if you want to feel you're getting the most out of... | |
| Best shipper for 200lb amp? I've had very good luck with Pilot Air. And it is especially reasonable if you bring the amp to the depot (one in most major metropolitan areas) and it is picked up at a depot on the other end. Without home delivery, it becomes really reasonable. ... | |
| magneplanar and sanders They are both great speakers. The 20.1's need a lot of room to breath - I had them in a 14x19 room (11' high) and that was too small. Also, they need quite a bit of amplification. If you buy them, I would consider the Sanders amp, as well as other... | |
| Dedicated Line ....... my system SUCKS I agree that there would be benefit, if you are having a dedicated line installed, look into two dedicated lines and put your amplifiers near your speakers to use shorter speaker cable runs (and longer interconnects). Multiple posts on the advanta... | |
| B&W 805 Diamond or Dynaudio C1 ?? Can anyone speak to the room size limitations of the C1? My room is 14x18 with an average ceiling height of 11'. Is that room to large for the C1's? Would I lose their impressive bass or their ability to load the room? | |
| Avalon Indra with 35w SET amplifiers I just tried a 70 watt EL34 amplifier on it (Cary SLM 70). Typically a very nice amp with lots of finesse, just could't strut its stuff on the Indras. Listenable, but they need more power to shine. | |
| Best external hard drive to store PC ripped music Hi Sufentanil (Michael),I've got a Mac Mini with a 2TB drive nearly filled up, largely with uncompressed music. I've got a couple 1.5 TB drives hanging around, and would like to use one for backup with Time Machine. Will Time Machine compress thin... |
