| Best bookshelf speaker reccomendations? Quad 11/12Ls...I auditioned every monitor under the sun for almost a year...case in point...a buddy who has Maggie 1.6s described the Quads as "very big and very open"...their soundstage is huge...and for their size...bass is clean,deep,and tight.... | |
| Comparison of Magnepan 1.6QR to the 3.3R Agreed...the Maggies have little vertical dispersion so ceiling height will not play a major role...the main thing is to have ample space behind them...3-4 ft. is not uncommon...most dealers dont even have them probably set up in this configuratio... | |
| Subwoofer recommendation for Maggie 1.6 QR Again...Rel and Sunfire...these are the only two subs I would consider if I had Mags...my buddy has the 1.6s with a Rel Storm...and like many have said...they mate very well...the Sunfire is a little more aggressive sounding...but very tight and m... | |
| Best Clapton and Davis CD? I might be in the minority here...but "Kind of Blue" in regards to recording quality is not that great and vastly overated IMHO...I have the 20 bit remaster and the SACD...the horns are recorded a bit "hot" and distort from time to time...it is an... | |
| Kestrals: Good intro into two-ways? I used to own the SPica tc-50s...and during their day they were a good speaker...and in terms of imaging and transparency...still highly regarded...however...they have no bass,little dynamics,and poor detail resolution compared to modern designs..... | |
| HDCD Question.... ALso...my SACD/DVD has a 24/96 DAC...does this mean any 24/96 CD/DVD will playback with this resolution? I have seen some titles on elusivedisc.com...so I am curious... | |
| HDCD Question.... Does anyone do "mods" on SACD players to incorporate the HDCD 20-bit chip...or should I not waste my time? | |
| More good news for SACD.... Peter Gabriel catalog on SACD as well... | |

| The Biggest Disappointments in Rock and Roll The Flamin Groovies...why these hacks get mentioned in the same breath as the Stones or the Beatles is beyond me...one of the most overated hype jobs...these guys couldnt sing or play there way out of a paper bag...it must be record collectors who... | |
| Mix'nMatch Shania Twain and a blow-up doll...what...she is a blow up doll! | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? Also DQ-10s will not win any beauty awards.... | |
| Ugliest speaker ever? Vandersteens sound pretty good but are butt ugly...whatz up with the turd brown grill cloth? Maggies are a bit funky looking too...then again...cosmetics are an after thought...most ugly gear does perform well...it almost has to...why else buy it? | |
| Speakers That Are Good Near Wall...But Not Corner? Maybe Omega loudspeakers...single source drivers...front ported...and affordable...search: Omega Loudspeakers... | |
| Kestrals: Good intro into two-ways? The orginal Kestrals were a great buy in their day...and even a better used value today...usually around $700...and I feel they outperform the new Swifts by a wide margin...especially in the bass department...also...Vandersteen 1cs or 2ces are tim... |
