It's all good, AI will solve the crisis by eliminating the problem......, us. More power to 'em ;o)

<bump for OP>

I saw Howard Jones open for Eurythmics, oh, say in 1984. He was surrounded by so many keyboards it seemed like he wanted to double the combined keyboards for both Wakeman and Emerson.

Been a while since I saw them last (unzoomed pic from crappy phone!)

Really dig Steven Wilson. Just saw Spoon, seeing Joe Jackson in DC in a few weeks. First live shows for us in way too long. Don't know if any of you are PsyFurs fans, but they, as are Joe Jackson and Todd Rundgren, defying age and blowing the roof off live, still. On the younger side of...

My old sub is about 70lbs. and I have the sub-walk movement down, but anything double that weight will not appease! Dang, those Mono 12s ARE 115lbs. Advice absorbed! I did speak with a couple sub makers regarding circuit overloading, they both agreed for most levels the subs are usually...

Really appreciate everyone's feedback, very helpful, especially the reading assignment! ;) I've spent way too much time scouring all the pertinent forums all over the web, living vicariously through other's sub experiences. One ends up absorbing the mantras, "Buy once, cry once" and "Go large...

This is just a great thread, and the conclusion OP reached before my post is essentially where I am, in deciding which subs to buy. I have a music focus first, movies/tv second. Rather than reinvent the subs part of this thread I would graciously like to pose my own questions that I think will...

I never reported my bargain find (and now no longer available due to KEF interference): Soundfield Monitor 1s. https://www.stereophile.com/content/soundfield-audio-0 And now I feel much better.

Just sharing experience, amigo. ;o) If it seemed I shilled here, my apologies. If the XV15 didn't exist I would've bought a VTF-15H. I'm sure you'll love yours. I hope I love mine...., I won't be shy if I don't.

I did also strongly consider the Hsu models, and in my mind they sat in the middle and I got to the point where it was Rythmik or PSA (I mean at some point you come up with reasons to reduce options or you'll never commit to just one). I did recommend a friend buy a Hsu sub, in 2012, before I...

FWIW after countless hours absorbing every single post on every AV forum known to man, I've just placed an order for the XV15. It will replace an a/d/s ms3 which does OK for music still (all but the sub 32Hz stuff) but gets overwhelmed in my > 6500 cu. ft. open great room. No doubt we sub...

I'm extremely interested in these as well. Just curious what you listened to on them? What do you listen to most? And did you demo them with that music to your heart's content? Thanks!

Now in home: Martin Logan ElectroMotions Put the Carbon 7s on hold for now to first pick up the Martin Logan ElectroMotions (according to the owner's manual they want a 72 hour (@ 90dB!) break-in before you begin to critically listen to them -- they basically tell you don't bother to position...

Fritz Carbon 7s? I mentioned the Fritz Carbon 7s in another post. I like the Sonicflare writeup of the speaks. I'm bringing in a pair to demo in home. Aesthetics aren't nearly as meaningful to me, given the Salk's finishes are exemplary, but I've sliced and diced so many user experiences...

Anybody demo Totem Hawks, perhaps even compared them to the STs? I can get a very nice used pair of Hawks shipped for $1550.

Thanks for the offer! My folks still live in Alexandria and I do try to get up there as often as I can. We can coordinate something between Dennis, yourself and I. I'm thinking late July right now.

Did you demo the ribbon tweeter and dome tweeter? I've read the ribbon has a vertical dispersion restriction. When sitting for critical listening the ribbon is the way to go I'm convinced. But if I was up in loft above the room in which these new speakers sit, or meandering about the lower...

Looking at resale value only, really-used to almost-new, what models in which lines garner fast resale with maximum value retention? Say under (current value) $3K a pair?

Fritz Carbon 7? I also read about Focal 1007's with berylium tweeter that a pro drummer says gets the cymbals right. Any other Focals? Is used my best bet?
