    How Loud do you listen to your Music/HT?? (DB)

    I listen almost entirely to classical music these days--probably around 80-85 tops. I spent too many years attending 125db+ metal shows--gotta give my ears a rest! Probably the loudest concert was Jimi Hendrix in 1970 when I was a young teen--my ears rang for nearly a week! He did warn us...

    Do MartinLogan speakers cost more because they are better speakers?

    I don't think that ML speakers are overpriced at all. In fact, you'd probably have to pay considerably more for a dynamic speaker that even came close to the ML's transparency and detail. Of course, many dynamic speakers can play louder, provide more "slam," and perhaps provide a wider listening...

    Stax vs Audeze

    Oh sure, huge bumps and/or dips should raise red flags, but certain aspects such as the ability to resolve inner detail, stage depth, imaging, etc. depends on far more elements than the mere frequency response would suggest. "Audiophool"--I love that term...assuming it wasn't directed at me! :D

    Stax vs Audeze

    You can't begin to gauge what a headphone or speakers will actually sound like based on a frequency response graph!

    5-channel Amp?

    Sorry it took a while to get back. I went with the Parasound A 51--love it! Very dynamic, detailed, and powerful.

    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - American Version

    Overall, I preferred the original Swedish version, especially Noomi's portrayal of Lisbeth. She was much more physically intimidating and had an inner coiled tension that Rooney lacked. However, the opening credit sequence was awesome, and I liked the elevator encounter, although that type of...

    5-channel Amp?

    Are you currently using a Sunfire with your ML speakers? Are Sunfire amps able to handle the 1 ohm load that ML's present at high frequencies?

    5-channel Amp?

    I'm in the market for a new 5-channel amp. I think I've narrowed the list down to a Parasound Halo A 51 or a Anthem Statement A5. Has anyone had experience with one or both? Thanks. (FYI, I'm currently using a Sony STR 6400ES to drive a pair of Martin Logan Theos and Energy surrounds. I plan to...

    Which brand makes the best quality loudspeakers?

    I've owned ESS, AR, Magnepan, Acoustat, Quad, B&W, and Martin Logan: for me, the best sounding is Martin Logan. I recently bought a pair of ML Theos and love them. It's hard to achieve the clarity and transparency of an electrostat in a box speaker!
