| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto I would have to side with Ben on the current Lips sound...self-indulgent,artsy noodling...ala Radiohead...which is why the Lymeys have eaten it up for breakfast...call me a purist...but their earlier deep acid rock will hold up over the long run..... | |
| The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto Well...hate to sound like an old fart...but I have been a Lips fan since my college days in the mid 80's...in Fargo,ND no less...and every since I heard "Jesus shootin' Heroin" I have been hooked...I still think their best consistent LP is "Oh my ... | |
| Should I buy "NEW" spker technology or "OLD"?? For better or worse...speaker technology...like amps and digital sources...is geared toward cleaner, hi-definitionsound reproduction...modern speakers...in general...vs. older counterparts...sound cleaner,less muddy,and are far more analytical...o... | |
| Speaker placement at dealers Would have to agree with both Bigtree ..in regards to Vandersteen...few dealers let alone owners know how to intergrate these into a room...a buddy of mine who knows his stuff went Maggies...but swears by Vandersteen if you dont want a sub...I aud... | |
| Speaker placement at dealers I find it amazing that even owners with very good equipment have speakers buried in a corner with "lamp cord" wire as an interconnect...I am by no means an expert...but if you went into 9 out of 10 homes...90% of the households would have speakers... | |
| The plight of SACD.... If anything...the public has already made their choice...and with success of the ultra-compressed MP3 format,A/V receivers, and CD burners...the quality of sound has taken a back seat...convenience,portability,compatability,and cost are the drivin... | |
| Opinions of Creek Integrated 5350se Stephen...your right...I was thinking of the Creek 4330 mkII amp..which goes for $600...roughly the same as the NAD c370..sorry for the confusion... | |
| Opinions of Creek Integrated 5350se I would have to disagree with you there...the NAD intergrated...or for that matter any entry level intergrated from Rotel,Rega,Creek,and even Cambridge AUdio...will sound better than all but the best AV receivers...AV receivers are about "bells an... | |
| Mission 780 good value? For small rooms...really hard to surpass Spendors or the new Quad L series...SPendors are more well known in the States...and their current 3/5 is an updated version of the legendary ls 3/5a...very open and full sounding for such a small speaker..... | |
| Should I buy "NEW" spker technology or "OLD"?? The speaker world is one of gradual improvements....most hi-end compaines dont "reinvent the wheel" with every new offering...however...over 2 or 3 incarnations...wich is generally a 10yr span...the improvements will be more profound...I recently ... | |
| The plight of SACD.... Tony brings up a good point...the real mass market future in digital audio is...for better or worse... the videocomponet and multi-sound...that is what will "drive" the consumer's decision to leave redbook behind...again ...the irony being the lat... | |
| Transitioning: back to solid state.... If the bass is too strong...try pulling your Tannoys into the room a bit more...in a small room....even a foot or so can make a big improvement...I personally like soundstage depth...but then again...I live alone...and have monitors in the middle ... | |
| Sony SCAD Stopped WOrking Older Sony units are notorious for this...better to upgrade than to fix it.... | |
| The plight of SACD.... To be perfectly honest...I have never been thrilled about analog or current redbood playback ...they both have drawbacks...not surprisingly...the majority of the analog community has dismissed SACD as another "smoke and mirrors" digital marketing ... | |
| Opinions of Creek Integrated 5350se NHTs are not the most efficient speakers on the planet...but they do have good bass...largely due to their sealed enslosure designs...as far as an amp...I would agree with some posts...the Creek is not a "rocker/rap" type of amp...for a less "refi... |
