| Best bang for the buck Our retirement home. We sold our small house in a prime location for so much dough that we were able to purchase double the space on 45 acres for half of the sale proceeds. Now we have room for several systems featuring JBL Array 1400, Everest D... | |
| Am I done yet? LOL I’m done. And I’ve given up golf, too. It got to the point that there just wasn’t any challenge to it any longer. | |
| What is the most preferred revel or jbl speaker you have owned and why do you prefer it I've had quite a few of the JBLs, including L26, L36, L55, L65, L77, L100, L110, L150, L166, L220, L300, 4313B, 4333, 4343, 4345, 4350B, Everest DD67000, Project Array 1400, Hartsfield, Paragon, Metregon, and a few others that I can't remember mod... | |
| Well ..This Is Interesting...What Do You Think.?? Food For Thought..Or BS? To the original point (modestly priced electronics perform as well as high priced gear), I came to that conclusion several years ago. I finally had to admit to myself that my own pretensions and desire for bragging rights constituted a big part o... | |
| used power amp under 1500 For $500-$700, you can pick up an M117 from Luxman and get 200 wpc from the Japanese McIntosh. I’ve used one on JBL Everest DD67000, Westminsters, Revel Salon 2, Canterburys, Apogee Studio Grands, and several others. I’ve been very pleased with ... | |
| Anyone in this hobby lonely like me and wish they could “hang” with a fellow audiophile? I tried to hang out with some audio fanatics in Dallas, but they turned out to be pretentious snots. | |
| Does it ever end? Sorry, Bud, but it never goes away permanently until you're dead. I've been going backwards periodically, swapping out several components for an old but nice sounding receiver in a room or two. I find it easier on the eyes to look at one old Lux... | |
| Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room Ascend Acoustics Sierra 2 EX V2. Small, mid weight, wonderful timbre, astonishingly deep bottom end, low priced, easy to drive... I think they’ll send you a demo pair, but not sure about that. Ask and see - if not, what’s the return policy. Yo... | |
| the gateway product that turned you into an audiophile Left GE Trimline for JBL L150. WOW!! | |
| Is there Tannoy Magic / Should I buy a pair of Tannoys as "accessory" speaker? In my living room, I have a pair of JBL Everest DD67000 and a pair of JBL 4350. They are on adjacent walls and driven independently by McIntosh and Luxman equipment. I listen to Bach organ concerti, other very dynamic orchestral music, and a littl... | |
| Need Guidance for Next/Last Pair of Speakers Altec Valencia sounds exactly like Altec 19s but with slightly less robust bottom end (bass boost overcomes this but I’d rather not have to). JBL Synthesis Project Array 1400 will outperform the 19 AND, incredibly, have better sound stage. | |
| Did your system getting better the more money you spent or more experience you gained? Definitely became better as I spent more dough, but the vast majority was spent on speakers, big ones. And the difference is not apparent in 90% of the music we play. Experience taught me that it’s not terribly difficult to get great sound with a... | |
| Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!! Rather than replacing the speakers that I’ve really liked, I’ve simply added more systems around the house. We don’t have a “listening space”. We listen all over the house. So we have systems all over the house, including larger outdoor speakers u... | |
| What do/did you do for a living? Custom cabinet maker with niche business working for uber big shots. Never made much because I hold the title, “World’s Worst Businessman”. Everything went to private schools for the kids, so we never had anything to spend on fancy audio. But I ha... | |
