| Ghost repeats during vinyl playback Awesome; thank you all for the clarification | |
| Suggest affordable cable options @arafiq Just pm'd you with contact info in AZ and Clear Day. | |
| Suggest affordable cable options I'm going to put in another plug for Clear Day cables. I've been running a set of 8' Clear Day Shotgun cables ($270/8ft pair) on both Reference 3a de Capo's and Acoustic Zen Adagios. I just now put in a pair of Acoustic Zen Satori's ($800/6ft pair... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX @blackjack616 I imagine the vast majority of UPS employees love and excel at their job - and there's a certain amount of social foundation in seeing that big brown truck pull up outside one's house with a box of good news! Still, it wasn't the ra... | |
| WARNING - USE UPS FOR SHIPPING RATHER THAN FEDEX Screw that. I'll never use UPS again after how they botched shipping a pair of really good monitors. They denied all culpability and washed their hands of the matter, even though the box and contents were plainly damaged because of shipping, not b... | |
| LSA-1 ?? These are quite good for the price. That doesn't mean they're not good compared with other speakers, just that they sound fantastic for what you pay. Wally could charge twice as much based on their sound. | |
| Where to go from here... Having owned a pair of Maggie 3.6R's for a while before life swung Reference 3A de Capo BE's my way, followed by Acoustic Zen Adagios, I can say the Maggies presented such a beautiful and deep soundstage. Well produced and well-mic'd recordings we... | |
| I need advice on which speaker Why not? Good, well-designed speakers with a wide-spread market. I believe Theil was sold to a large conglomerate, so don't know how that's going to affect their quality? Any Theil owners out there? | |
| I need advice on which speaker Just PM'd you, Blackjack, about the Monitors, Revels, and several others, etc. | |
| Good looking Towers for < $2000? @albireo13 You mentioned WAF, attractiveness, and that you switched to a Nuprime IDA8. The latter is rated at 100w at 8ohms. With that output, I second abd1's suggestion of Totems. The Totem Hawks are well-made, beautiful-sounding speakers that ... | |
| I need advice on which speaker Your Parasound puts out 240w at 4 ohms and 87db sensitivity, which puts it at the top range of the Salk Soundscape 8 ($9K), which is rated 100-250w. However, I doubt you'll be driving it for very long at those high wattages. The Revels ($5K) are a... | |
| Upgrade from a Benz Micro Ace SH @jb0194 That's what I was considering, too, tho I hate to be away from a vinyl playback during the time they're retipping it. @jmcgrogan2 I had an AT mx150 and wasn't happy with the sound at all - a bit too thin and clinical, especially compared ... | |
| I need advice on which speaker There are a ton of good speakers out there. Many of them are small businesses in it for as much the love of sound and craftsmanship as they are for business. Most speakers not found in big box stores are well made and appeal to different sound and... | |
| The issue of lowballing... What does that mean? So I've re-noticed something recently which is probably old hat to most here, but...Price is relative, right? Like, I may look at a good Easton or Worth baseball bat priced at $399 and think, "Umm, that's way too expensive." Or I may think about g... | |
| I need advice on which speaker The GE's are universally lauded. All of the brands you mentioned would serve you well in that price range.I'm going to second jmcgrogan2, though, and shout out the Reference 3A Grand Veenas. Simply incredible over-performing floorstanders. For you... |
