| Separates over time, or Integrated now? @bound4h Other’s on this thread have given you advice on gear, most of which I concur with, except the advice on financing your gear. I’m not a fan of going into debt to build a system…Here is what I did… I was in your situation 10 months ago... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @ozzy Your subs are heavyweights! By the looks of them, they have 4 rubberized feet that may help stabilize them, along with the weight of them if stacked but I would be concerned about putting that kind of weight on top of another speaker/sub. ... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @m-db Yes it was. They were/are great folks. I learned a lot from them. The wife was/is a professional violinist. They used to and maybe still do live in Vallejo, CA, where I also live…Unfortunately the shop closed years ago. Cheers! | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @gdaddy1 Thanks for your comment. Yes, the “Line Array” Sub System is unique in the way it can deliver a fully immersive sound experience that you actually have to hear for oneself. No amount of verbal descriptions comes close to experiencing it... | |
| Subwoofers - crazy upgrade! @cdtd After reading this tread it took me back to a time when I was a disbeliever in the use of subwoofers. That would take me back 25 years. In those years my technical knowledge was limited until I decided to buy a new system at a local high-e... | |
| Mcintosh pre amp pricing @speedthrills Congratulations on getting over your preconceived thoughts on buying McIntosh gear. I set out 8 years ago to compose an all McIntosh system which had been an over 50 year dream. I bought some pre-owned gear, some opened-boxed gea... | |
| Car audio - not a topic? @jr1000 I’ve often wondered if “Car Audio” would be talked about on this forum. In August of 2024 I bought a new TESLA Model Y, AWD, Long Distance with Tesla’s Premium Audio System (which is a Tesla-engineered system with; 13 speakers (som... | |
| An Audio Amateur's question about McIntosh Audio @amitb As has been said here by others McIntosh gear seems to have a love, hate opinion about the brand and its gear. As you probably already know McIntosh has been around since 1949. Some of the negative comments are that McIntosh hasn’t progre... | |
| Is Subwoofer Elevation a Viable Option? @veerossi REL's are made to be stacked (if desired). That's why they come with those brackets and screws. Whereas I make no claim to be an expert on REL Subwoofers, I’ve owned a few and still have an older REL Six-Pack Line Array using REL’s S... | |
| Can This Idea Be A Viable Resource On the subject of missing your systems so much that you want to find one equivalent while you’re traveling…Well good luck with that! When I’m traveling I have Qobuz and Spotify and Tidal on my phone and iPad with a decent pair of wired or wireles... | |
| Can This Idea Be A Viable Resource I’m a traveler, all 50 states and 50 countries so far. I agree with the comments about traveling for new experiences away from my normal life. Like most audiophiles I’ve spent a lot of time and expense building a system that I’m proud of and enjo... | |
| What one change to your room, system, or setup made the biggest improvement? @tomcarr I replaced a single REL 350 sub with 2 REL S/812’s subs which made a phenomenal difference in spacial depth to the overall sound of the music and airiness of the sub-bass that just energizes the room when the music goes there. Now I’m ... | |
| Need some help shipping speakers @bcg You’ve gotten some great advice here. I think your decision is more how much of a discount you’re getting on the speakers with add on costs of getting them to you. The road trip may be your cheapest and safest route. I just had three diffe... | |
| why are sellers to be trusted, but buyers are not? @ghdprentice Thank you for sharing your experience. I’ve communicated with the seller via Reverb’s website where it all began. He’s in denial on his culpability in why and how the damage occurred. I paid $1,700 for a Vintage 1970’s TEAC 3340S R... |
