Yes, I am trying it out for a month for free. Initially, I couldn't hear much difference in HiFi than I could from the other streamer services, but I have run across several albums that sound much better than Pandora and my freebie Spotify. Whether I decide to spend $20/per month in perpetuity...

Out of curiosity, what is the difference in the new crossover?

yes I can tell you that Danny Richie and Gary Dodd were both emphatic on the upgrade and I did not feel at all that they were trying to spin me. The speakers do sound better, but as I said, I can't quantify that meaningfully, but certainly worth the upgrade cost to me. It seems like someone...

No Rez and Soni-Caps Replaced the original capacitors on my CST and center channel speaker plus added the No-Rez and I do think that sound is better from both. Since I was not able to do an A/B comparison due to the time for the upgrade, I don't feel qualified in saying how much better they...

Suzie Q Try to find the original version of Suzie Q by Dale Hawkins. It won't be stereo as it was a mono 45, but I always thought it much better than CCR version.

Carnegie and Energy Veritas I bought the Carnegie towers and center channel for Christmas and like them very much. I also have the Energy Veritas 6.2 towers, 5.2 center channel and 5.1 rear surrounds, which I also like very much and do not find them bright, nor have any of the listeners in my...

I agree I have the 6.2s, the 5.2, and the 5.1s for surrounds and they function just fine in a smallish room with my Marantz SR5007.

Yes, Mr. Richie is in Iowa Park, a few miles from Wichita Falls. I rarely post but when all is set up (my home computer is having serious problems), I will try to post some pics. Mr. Richie told me that No Rez to the Towers would yield a 'subtle' improvement in sound, for those of you putting...

Not exactly but I did make the trek to Danny Richie's plant and spent basically all afternoon and into the mid-evening with him and came home with a brand new set of the Towers and the Center Carneiges. Originally, I had taken my previous speakers to Danny for his measurement and upgrade...

I downloaded the Windows 8 I downloaded the upgrade to Windows 8 and got add on for Media Center free from Microsoft. I do not use a touchscreen but my same media keyboard and have had no problems with either, other than the initial learning curve at the beginning since, as you know, it does...

I have an HTPC and I like it a lot, having transferred over the guts of my HP desktop to a Silverstone Grandia HTPC, the footprint is smaller than that of my receiver. The HTPC is used as a DVR and I have a BLU-Ray drive, combine with Windows Media Center and I have all my media in one location...

I have a 1021K receiver and yes, the HDMI output from my ATI 5570 does output surround sound, but I am only using 5.1. It was necessary for me to download a driver from Realtek for ATI HDMIs and that was all it took to work.

Maybe so, but I can't spend equal time in the bedroom listening to the Veritas 5.1s, but I was very surprised to hear them sound better in another room.:D

I am feeding WMA files from my HTPC to my receiver via an HDMI cable from an ATI 5570 HD via card, but noticed that all music sent this way requires me to turn the volume up on my receiver much higher than when playing internet radio from receiver or playing Pandora or Radio Paradise from HTPC...

I rarely post here, but your post inspired me I bought the Veritas 5.1 bookshelf speakers after the glowing review here at Audioholics and I have been very pleased and impressed with them, plus as you mentioned, the finish is marvelous. With the deals Vann's was offering, I snagged a pair of...

this one I enjoyed To me, this was as good a horror movie as "Cabin in the Woods" seemed stupid and a waste of time. It was great that Hammer is back producing excellent horror flicks, I look forward to seeing their next effort. :D

I saw it thought it was inferior and a waste of time to watch, not a good horror movie in my opinion.:(

Go to Vann's and snag one of the Energy Veritas subwoofers that they are closing out at a great price, the bang for your buck is great. You can ask the salespeople's opinions as I did when considering a Velodyne and I felt the sales people were pretty fair in their comparisons and assesments of...

Go to Vann's website and snag one of the Energy Veritas subwoofers on clearance, you will find them to be a bang for the buck bargain.

Vann's Out of curiosity, I checked out Vann's website and there are now a goodly number of reviews of the Energy Veritas speakers and they are quite well-received and rated by their owners (and since my review is there and is real, I would think that the others are also), so no doubt there are...
