I wish this stereotype was not passed on and on, like a cliche planted with a grow light.... In a good relationship, a relationship where you actually share in the love of music and what brings it in the home, this should not be an issue, on either side. One thing that hurts it is that many men (and women, sadly) have the aesthetic acumen of a five year old with horse blinders on. Some of the rooms you see posted online make one recoil in horror. On the other hand, many of the mediocre touches come

Most music sounds like dung and is poorly recorded. I do most of my listening to below. - Stereophile Test CD 1-3 (No cannons, but there is some awesome bass guitar and bells and whatnot) - Telarc 1812 (cannons are awesome) - Telarc Sampler CD (Fanfare for Common Man is awesome - Firebird kicks it) - Pomp and Pipes ( The pipes are ok but the POMP brings house down!) - Conan the Destroyer Soundtrack (man, this is awesome, too! No modern explosions, though) - TOTAL RECALL soundtrack (this DOES have

Hey Mike! Hope things are going well your way. Frankly, you wont recognize the place. You'll spend more time shaking your head in disbelief than anything else. It's the old one step forward, two steps back syndrome and this place might as well have added a "trip" in the middle of the second step back... kh

It's turning into an amazing statistic.... so much of what I read in this place appears to be off, one way or another, and with a stygian certitude with ignorance held high with pride, albeit unknowingly. Whether it's backed by a ream of misused technical info or an amazing combination of little experience mated with even less ability to hone in on the variables, nothing can surprise anymore within the Klipsch 2 Channel forum. The latest list of prolific newbies will undoubtedly join the old timer

Into the archives we go... yet another beauty. kh

This is the lowest wattage Crown made, not the 150-1000w behemoths, and it was acquired by Leo because of its untypical SS behavior of exhibiting very low distortion ratings at very low watt levels, something that most SS amps DONT do (and an important attribute when dealing with high efficiency speakers). Two, Leo has FOUR amplifiers, and

leok wrote: Nothing much to add here, just agreement. Loud isn't of much interest to me anyway, but lower level timbres and acoustic ambience are important. As I've reduced distortion and improved signal to noise of both systems many recordings have taken on a three dimensional quality creating a very stable sound space between and behind the speakers with recorded echoes helping to establish instrument locations in that space. To me, as has been said above, dynamic range starts with 0dB set at a

The number of drummers in this forum is a bit frightening. I played drums in bands since the age of 13 but now have to store my set of mid 60s Ludwigs/50s Zildjians at my friend's studio for lack of room. I miss being able to sit down on a whim but get over there a few times a month to play. I personally hated any ear protection as it removed a layer of enjoyment and link to the music - It was like a filter that I always wanted to toss . Amazingly, I still have pretty good hearing although I havent
