    A Salk fan-boy takes action

    I went inside the Salk demo room at the Rocky Mountain Audio fest twice, once in the morning and again in the afternoon, so I got to hear two different towers. I was.......underwhelmed. The speakers seemed just a bit too rolled off in the highs, and it didn't have the mid-range detail of PSB...

    So, any Audioholics going to RMAF this year?

    Wow, no one else? Sorry upfront about not having pictures; I was so into listening that I never snapped a pic (even had my phone on me). But I can give my experience: First: SUPER crowded, was hard to get in and out of rooms. People walking in front of the speakers to ask the rep what music...

    A Salk fan-boy takes action

    YES, as a web developer I can tell you that's called "autoplay," which is highly frowned upon amongst web developers. Autoplaying silent video is one thing, but having the audio autoplay is almost always a negative user experience. Worse yet, I had to look around for the button to turn it off...

    Alternative to Oppo 93 for file playback?

    Hello guys, I like my Oppo for Blu-Ray, DVD, SACD, and DVD-A playback; it's wonderful. However..... I have an external hard drive that I hook up via USB to the back of my Oppo player for playing local media files (.wav, .flac, different video formats like .mpg, .mp4, .avi, etc) and I've got my...

    Bad experience with Paradigm dealer

    Three speakers. The pair of Studio 20s, and a center channel (the cc-590). Well, that and a pair of J-23 stands for the pair of bookshelf speakers. I have no problem with the $3375 figure; I was just including it in the story for detail's sake. The problem I have is with the $288 driver they...

    Bad experience with Paradigm dealer

    Yup, used a credit card for all purchases. I thought about calling my CC company (Wells Fargo) about this but got scared that my credit would be hurt (I have excellent credit) by disputing a credit card charge like this. Strictly speaking, they did replace the tweeter and that's what I was...

    Bad experience with Paradigm dealer

    Here's a review I posted to google plus reviews that keeps not getting published, even though my positive review I gave to an independent mechanic showed up right away. Hmm. This is my review I've been trying to post for Blu Note in Denver, and it should tell the whole story (they stopped...

    Paradigm Prestige Series Loudspeakers Preview

    My local Paradigm dealer went to the same event and said the same thing, that the current Studios are better. I sure hope not since I just bought a pair of Studio 20s and a CC-590!

    Anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?

    Went there yesterday as I'm in the area...it was helpful that I was picky about which vendors I went to go see. Was really excited to see Salk Sound was there as I've heard a lot about them on these forums and got to actually hear them. Very nice and flat with a good soundstage, Jim Salk was...

    Oppo BDP-105 Audiophile Universal Blu-ray Player

    Here's a list of features I'd like on a new Oppo that would actually make me buy one: -The eSata port brought back; I already use the back USB port for the wireless adapter, it's nice to have a high-speed hard drive connection like the eSata right next to it to connect my external hard drive...

    HELP: BUYING 1st SUBWOOFER !!!

    If you're going to upgrade in 6 months, personally I would wait until I had $500-700 to spend on a subwoofer instead. MUCH better choices in that price range than the $200-$300 range you stated. My 2 cents. That being said, an audio place near my house sells nice used gear, some in your price...

    SVS SB13-Ultra Subwoofer Review

    Without getting too bogged down in semantics, let's just say I like my sub but I'm sure there's better subs out there that have more punch and detail and not quite as woofy (not that the Emotiva's bad per se, but I'm sure you know about the upgrade bug people get). And yes I'm tuned my room and...

    SVS SB13-Ultra Subwoofer Review

    Would this be an upgrade to my Emotiva Ultra 12? I like my Emotiva but sometimes wish the bass were a bit more defined.

    SVS SB13-Ultra Subwoofer Review

    I wonder how this subwoofer compares to the PSA XS30se? I don't see many PSA sub reviews on here.

    Paradigm upgrade from SEs, I’m torn though…

    They said it shipped last Friday..........it should arrive tomorrow, which if they do I'll be really excited as tomorrow I'll just be coming out of a mastering session for one of my recordings! I will report back tomorrow with what happened. Update: I got them, dealer said Paradigm gave them no...

    Paradigm upgrade from SEs, I’m torn though…

    I got a live person today and I said I was wondering why my order I placed on the 13th hasn't even shipped yet; they said my dealer would have to call receivables and promptly hung up. My dealer has been terrible at getting back to me with what's going on and why such a delay in shipping; still...

    Clean tight and accurate under $1K recommendations please

    I also like clean, tight accurate sealed bass for dual-purpose HT and music, and I've heard very good things about that sub. I have an Emotiva Ultra 12 and was looking at this PSA sub to upgrade.

    Loudspeaker Myths: Separating the Scientific Facts from Science Fiction

    Gene, I love these videos that offer a refreshing break from the intellectual dishonesty of marketing brochures. I love hearing marketing BS get a kick in the teeth with cold hard facts! As someone with extensive schooling and field experience as a live sound and recording engineer, I feel like...
