| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Chadnliz: Sorry if my first reaction upon hearing someone disrupt the music I'm 1) paying to hear, and 2) trying to have a emotional connection with, isn't, "Well, at least I have a job." While I understand the point you were trying to make, it st... | |
| Cable Costs Relative to System IMO cables are the biggest racket in audio. It all depends on what cables work in a given system. You don't need to spend a lot of money to get great sound. In fact, there are many low priced stuff that outperform the expensive ones. Years ago my ... | |
| Seeking floorstander for low watt SET Well said Charles1dad. I've been thinking about my experience with the Coincidents since I sold them a while back. I'm thinking maybe my pair didn't jive well with my equipment/cables/room, whatever. Or maybe they were even damaged in some way? As... | |
| Seeking floorstander for low watt SET Another idea is the easy-to-drive Coincident speaker. They have a large side-firing woofer which may make things easier for rock in a large room like yours. I bought a pair and couldn't get rid of them fast enough. However, the overwhelmingly favo... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Now that I think more about it, it's not ONLY about having common sense. It's about the emotions felt during an event. If one goes to a rock concert, the material itself suggests that one gets out of their seat, screams and shouts, claps hands or ... | |
| Seeking floorstander for low watt SET Hmmm...You use a low watt SET to listen mainly to classic rock? Well, I guess a Zu Essence may be your best bet. 10.3 inch woofer, 97 db sensitivity. Some folks are happy with the Tektons, also with a large driver and sensitive. I'm loving my Omeg... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Yes, before every concert I've been to, the Master of Ceremonies, Program Director or whoever, asks the audience for the obvious: shut off cell phones, take candy out of the wrapper, etc. Apparently not everyone listens. Brownsfan sees my point pe... | |
| Fed up with people making noise at classical shows Davt: It's about the RESPECT that one should give to the composer, the musicians, the audience and most importantly, the MUSIC itself. One thing I've noticed attending around twenty concerts a season for seven years is this: MOST, not all, but mos... | |
| Help me make sense of what I'm hearing "So here's the million dollar question: how do achieve it all (if not most of my goals) of punchy bass, sweet vocals, and resolving-ness without harshness?"Good luck. | |
| looking for advice on bookshelf speakers How about a full range driver with no tweeter? | |
| Tube preamp for about $1500? There is a Decware tube preamp for sale right now....well below your bottom price. | |
| Muddy Waters Folk Singer First time I ever heard this album....my friend let me borrow it. I just so happened to have a bag of shrooms on me. So, I indulged myself and played Folk Singer.....One of the most unforgettable musical experiences of my life. I will never forget... | |
| Omega Super 3 owners - what amp are you using? Any low-watt SET amp IN A SMALL ROOM will work wonderfully with Omega speakers. I'm using a Dynaco ST-70 with a pair of MaxHemp V2's with great results. Bass is a little shy but my room is quite large. | |

| Are CD players dead Funny. I started the same thread a while ago and everybody chastised me. Today, it's ok.....shame on you all. LOL! |
