Can anyone here answer a Dynaudio specs ?
If the drivers are really the same, then it should be the cross-over. But just like Phasecorrect says: if you like 'em, buy 'em.... 
Ok this will be a good thread.
The music you are playing is most important. After all, listening to music is what you spend you're money for. Right? Well, at least I do..... I'd rather have a simple system and some software then the best system in the world and nothing to play ... 
Should I go for sub-woofer or new speakers?
I have to disagree with all of you (I love that :)). Improving your speakers will not only improve the low-end, but also mid and high frequencies, while adding a sub might improve on your low-end, but will also be very unpredictable. The golde rul... 
Best Frank Zappa´s Recordings
Joe's Garage Days, Broadway the hard way and finally Ship arriving to late to save a drowning witch. 
who makes a good set of headphones
All of the 'phones mentioned are of grat quality, I just would like to add that not only the sound, but also comfort is very important, so IMHO buying online would not be adviseable...Satch. 
It's the small things that drive you nuts...
In my own situation, considering rack placement and the placement of the power outlets, I'd say: on the right hand side, as low to the bottom of the equipment as possible. As a general rule: in the middle, as low as possible. Not that it would be ... 
Why can't I get clear sound?
I agree with Stuartbranson. The cd-changer works ok, the amp works ok and the headphones produced a wonderfull sound. Ergo: speakers(placement) or speakercables. If you wired the speakers out of phase the sound would be muffled, but also lacking a... 
Tweaking the Thorens TD 125 AB MK II What do u Th
I'm not sure. I own a TD 125 MK I, and I've used the bolts to tighten up the suspension just a wee bit, which sounded better to my ears. I guess it depends on what kind of arm you're using and, as you point out, what kind of placement the tt rests... 
Best live album you've ever heard?
I'll go for Jimi Hendrix, Live at Winterland, first cd I ever bought and still spinning..... 
Ever wonder why things are screwed up?
Just another bit of useless information: Rgd is right, if you travel from western Europe to Russia, you have to change trains because they are not compatible. Even stranger: if you travel from Holland to Germany they have to change the locomotives... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Since I'm on my third cat this year.... I wrecked the first one against an lightpost, the second just gave up on me and the third.... well, I just hope it'll last a little longer. So:1. Citroën ZX (1994)2. Citroën ZX (1994) if I want to keep eat... 
What's Your Favorite Party Music?
Everything from the Dropkick Murphy's..... 
Best bargain find ever ?
I once helped someone move house and found a Thorens TD 125 turntable with a SME 3009 arm and a Stanton cartridge. The dustcover was damaged, so this guy wouldn't take more then 45 dollars, while the retailprice was around 1000 dollars. Who am I t... 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?
Just some remarks.... many here say they owned a couple B&W speakers that they didn't like. Why bought them in the first place? Second: I don't feel the number of posts on this board by a single person is of any importance. Third: buying speak... 
Are "Professional Grade" CD players good?
Most 'professional'cd-players are build to stand a fair amount of abuse and be resistant to vibrations etc, but not especially for perfect sound, so a good audiophile player will outperform it. And for balanced outputs: they are only worthwhile if...
