What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

Let us know how you like 'em!

Very happy so far! Wonderfully full and rich sound. The tactile feel I get with these from kick drums is a noticeable improvement over the Pioneer Elite SP-EFS73s they're replacing. And the cabinet is gorgeous! Great speaker for the price I paid.

SVS ultra bookshelf speakers, really digging them!

SVS ultra bookshelf speakers, really digging them!

Cool! I've read really good things about them. (Have an SVS sub myself, which I like.)

SVS started out in subs, so have had a lot of time to get the whole "non-resonant enclosure thing" right. This bodes well as they move into speakers because of the importance of the enclosure in speaker performance (along with crossovers).

Ditto for drivers, assuming they make their own (which not all loudspeaker manufacturers do, or even have to for that matter).

hearing the bookshelves makes me think of how good the ultra towers must sound

 

[GrimSurfer]

LOL. I'm sure they do. Towers wouldn't pass WAF in my household though!

They don't in my friend's house either... and he has early KEF towers (solid wood cabinets, massively braced internally) that have been re-coned and had the crossovers rebuilt.

I'd make him an offer, but would lose a friend and a wife. It's a no-win situation.

Glad you're enjoying them!

OK ordered these after getting a good deal on the bay. I hope the hype is worth it. I'll do a mini review when I get them. I'm sure I'll get the Sabbat x12 pro this week and I'm done. Just wanted a couple to try with volume controls.

Got a real good deal on the Sabbat x12 Pro. Ordered. I think I'm good on wireless buds with volume control and 5.0 BT. Compared savings to those Sennheiser Wireless that are $300.00 (yikes) I think I did good at less than $100 on 3 different pairs.

Offerings from this trio tend to be spendy but worth it. Well recorded and addicting to listen to if you like this sort of thing.

My collection by this artists is growing. I ended up streaming everything Amazon has on this artist a few times by now.

Got these on right now. Blown away with the treble clarity, mids and great bass. I'm on YouTube watching Chris Stapleton live version of his original "I Was Wrong" just so damn clear. These come up as W1(HonShoop) . These are really good and loud. I bet once they break in they will be even better. Just tested these with Netflix series F is for family and dialog is crispy clear and it's just amazing(mouth wide open) . They come with a 1 year Warranty. Just get them!

Finally broke down and went to the dark side (LG is not a preferred manufacturer of mine).

But, dang does the picture look stunning! And, I'm not done tweaking it yet.

OLED or LCD? Their OLED TVs are good because they're mostly focused on that. LCD was never their strong suit, but I think that's because OLED was their forward vision.

My Galaxy S10+ arrives tomorrow

It's the OLED! This is the 2018 C8 model, with the new a9 processor.

I been holding out with my 12 year old Samsung 52" LCD (CFL lit), just waiting for the price to be right. I bought that one back when the price was finally (somewhat) reasonable for a large LCD TV.

 

[Phase 2]

Vizio V-series 50" 4K HDR with Dolby Vision,
It has this free app whole bunch of free TV not to mention the other apps that it comes with. I'm really digging the Pluto free TV thing. Thing is I paid under 4 bills new for this TV. Has full array backlit 120 hertz motion. Just picked it up last nite.

I love finding obscure bands. I was digging around Youtube about a Canadian band called "The Tenants" that released one very solid album with not one bad song on that album. I own a copy. In the youtube commnents, a poster wondered why the Tenants and a band called "The Spy's never made it big. I was able to play a couple of track from the Spy's and I really like their sound. I ordered of a Discogs and received a near mint 200g vinyl copy. Its so awesome.
