Hard to tell but are those Amazings?

What a relief because just the other day I was listening to The Eagles on my 3000 watt amp with the volume at max, and I think I heard some pecular anomalies....it could have just been the blood running down my neck though :p I agree that while there are refinements in driver technology...

As stated before most PA speakers have a Fs (there natural resonance, and reasonable idea of how low they will go) that is usually higher than there "home audio" counterparts. While its common to see 12" Home Audio drivers with Fs's in the 20's (Hz), you will see even many 18" PA drivers barely...

Magnepan's are the only speakers I think fall into the "better than models costing many times their price". They simply offer something noticibly different at an extremely competitive price point.

One of the "practical" problems with using real wood is the fact that it can expand and warp (flex) due to changes in humidity, heat, age, etc...so it can be a nusance. Thats about the only real problem not counting "type x wood sounds better then type y". I like Liquid Nails for the glue...

Sounds like a good idea to me. I like the Headphone approach...it only needs to be perfect for the "listening chair" anyways right :D As you said its a growing feature, several speaker companies have released models with room cals (like Infinity), and I think even some high end recievers...

What state do you live in? EDIT: Actually, do you still have both the Reciever and the DVD player?

Not sure what their officially called, but in computers their called called splash screens, where the various companies show their logo before the game starts (3Dfx especially back in the day). Anyways I'm referring to the Dolby, THX, DTS, etc.... little 20-30 second intros. My favorite is...

Also HiFi enthusiasts are usually more upscale then most eBAY stunners.

Your neighborhood DIY endorser How good are you with your hands? For a little less than $600 after shipping you could put together some PartsExpress kits. A 10" 250 Subwoofer kit, and the BR-1 2 way kit. Some poeple will bash the BR-1, because it isn't absolute....but at $150 for the...

I bought some at Fry's before. It was pretty thick nice stuff, but they only sold black....none of that designer stuff :p

Are they going to be ones with streamers or whatever there called? Like mostly black with white stripes...that kinda thing??? Also do the thicker TechFlex's have a thicker weave to them? I used the neon blue 1/4" and it was kinda thin compared to some other brand 1/2" that I got...does the...

In that price range you may consider the Magnepan 1.6QR (~$1500), or check Audiogon to see if there are larger Martin Logans for sale in your area. I'm a frugalphile so if I can save several thousand dollars on those puppys I will, especially since most poeple than own them keep them in safe...

The following a DIY method, others will have to chime in on commercial applications Umm, just a dual ganged rotary switch would work here. This is just two outputs going into one input I assume (one SS preamp and one tube preamp feeding into one amplifier??) I would do break than make like...

Haha, on the flip side my wife bought me Grease! I like it, I like Summer Nights, and Hopelessy Devoted to You, plus the movies just fun. Can't believe no ones mentioned Xanadu! Come on Magic is a great song, and Olivia is sweet! But as far as a good "movie" I like Enigma's MCMXCa.d...

Just turn around and run, and don't ever look back. Those are the worst (mechanically) connectors on speakers, even a screw that goes though a nut would be better than those. Any company that uses those and charges alot for there speakers has priorities that aren't aligned with audio. As far...

Or a use that to buy powered Sub. I think you'll get more satisfaction from that then trying to find sound differences in amps. I agree that spending more on speakers is the best bet...they have the toughest job to do.

I had considered checking them out, as I live in DFW, but when you look at the prices, I just think I would rather buy something from PartsExpress. Theres a place called Tanner Electronics in Carrollton (near I-35 and 635 Dallas), and I think I remember seeing some drivers just like the...

Well, I've told myself I would do it, but I've never been faced with the problem. But the other day I was cruising through Sam Goody while the wife was shopping, and I saw a Pet Shop Boys CD. It was an import single, just had a few songs on it, but alas it was a CD by them I didn't own. So...

You know the crazy thing is back in 90/91 when minidisc first came out, I thought man this is amazing...and it was. But I'll never forget, at the time, I read an article in Popular Mechanics/Science about what to expect in the future. They said that eventually, walkmans would be replaced by...
