| Any Thoughts? Taylor swift is a hottie | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? I read reviews. Then I buy unseen/unheard. Tough to audition nowadays, all my hifi stores/haunts have shuttered. I am mostly pleased with what I’ve bought, which currently includes tannoy legacy eaton, Martin Logan motion 15, wharfedale diamond 22... | |
| You've run some pretty fancy MC's, but the _______ MM cartridge really impressed me Both the ortofon 2m Bronze and the shure m97xe impress me. Own them both, among various moving coils, such as the Hana el, denon dl 103, dynavector 20x2 (low), & dynavector 10x5 (low). Also own other MM, such as ortofon om10, AT 520eb, both ni... | |

| Why do almost all women today hate home audio? My wife hates my hifi...never sits to listen and thinks it's ugly and takes up too much space. I can concur with the OP 100%... | |
| The best speaker cables you’ve had For the money, hard to beat audioquest's type 4. I see no reason to change them out or spend more money. I think I'll buy another set, as they most likely will no longer be available at some point. | |

| My speakers have gone AWOL Lovin’ my eatons, the "not so" little brother those tannoys... | |
| Bang for the buck @labguy it’s called being in debt up to your eye balls lol...kidding aside (not really), I am too lazy to remove the Tannoys right now, I'll get around to it at some point when I have the inclination or if I'm bored. | |
| Demise of bass quality in Main speakers My diamond 225's have incredible bass for their size. Even at just 6.5 inches, you can feel the bass. It has a bass port on the bottom that fires into a plinth. I don't currently use them, but they are so darn good, I will not sell them. |
