Very pricey for what they are giving you in terms of drivers and speaker topology. :confused:

Speaker choices boil down to a matter of listening preference, budget, and aesthetics. As you pointed out, the M80s vs the 1266's is NOT a fair comparision since they aren't in the same price class though the M80s in Vassallo finishes come dangerously close in price. The Onix speakers are...

Yes, Trick of the Tail in 5.1 is almost unlisteneable. If it weren't for the musicial content, I'd likely shut it off. I haven't listened to the Redbook layer of these discs. Perhaps I will compare them to the normal CD's I have of these albums to see if its a different master.

My Genesis SACD's showed up today! (era 1976-82) My initial impression is that they are all way over EQ'ed making them sound too bright in the top end. The worst example of this is Trick of the Tail. I understand the source material is limited, but IMO there is no excuse for this. The...

Thanks guys. I feel bad cancelling the order since the company has been so nice to me and appears to have excellent service. Hopefully if Darly puts me in touch with Phil and the band, they can send me some extra discs. I finished my interview with Daryl but waiting for him to fact check...

It's really hard to tell what you get with this package. Are the Bside songs all in multi channel SACD? I love the song Naminanu and its been so long since I've heard it or played drums to it. Did you order this box set? If you look carefully it says: Format CD next to the pic so I...

Canton makes some very nice speakers. Check out our review of one of their top models. Our only gripe is their price, which b/c they are an import, is a bit high. If you can get them for 30-50% off retail, they are definately a good contender to consider IMO.

Its gonna cost much more than that :eek:

Guys; I just ordered this! http://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=36800&sct=music I can't wait :) Ok now I am confused. The Region free one is cheaper! This is the one I really need. https://store.acousticsounds.com/browse_detail.cfm?Title_ID=37611&sct=music

You obviously know very little about Pat Metheny to be making such statements. This was not nearly his most complex song and I linked to it more b/c of his creativity in the music and the instrument he had custom made for this purpose. IMO Pat has no equal in playing or creative skills -...

You also paid over $1700 less than it orginally sold for only a year ago so consider yourself lucky :D

Haha thats classic! Love the M&K's BTW - great speakers. I plan on putting in a flat panel and definately a sub real soon. Imagine, I can be in geek heaven watching Star Trek and pumping iron. :D

The IPS-1 still has independent mono block amps just like the MPS-1 but you can't slide the modules in and out. The MPS-1 would have identical SNR if you pull the limiter circuit off which is easy to do. Emotiva will instruct customers on request if you wish to do so. I mostly prefer the...

The new Denon pre/pro is gonna rock - thats all I can say right now :D This is gonna be a hot summer of product releases for everyone, especially Denon.

I spent over a year decking out my new home with theater equipment, and multi room audio but until now, I was missing the most important element - a home gym. Now I can listen to tunes while I bench press or ride the elliptical glider. Time flies by when your listening to your own music in...

Be careful with considering this an absolute truth. I have found many speakers claiming to be flat anechoically on/off axis tend to be too bright in real rooms and measure bright accordingly. Also, this mantra doesn't apply to all loudspeaker designs such as line array type speakers which...

Its usually NOT a good idea to use pro gear for home theater. Pro gear is designed mostly for sound reinforcement - very high powerful amplifiers whose sole purpose is to produce a alot of sound at the expense of a high noise floor and overall fidelity. In a concert venue this is appropriate...

Jaco Pastorius (Weather Report, Solo/varios) Tony Levin (King Crimson, Peter Gabriel, others) Nathan East (Fourplay, Eric Clapton, etC) Chris Squire (Yes) Steve Rodby (Pat Metheny Group)

That article was written to debunk a bogus spec that some receiver manufacturers boast about instantaneous current. It does NOT negate the importance of a solid power supply or an amp with REAL world headroom. I plan on doing some more articles on this topic when time permits.
