    Do You Really LOVE Your System???

    Ahh... but one must realize their level of satisfaction is directly correlated to where they have been. Now if you've been listening to music on a COMPUTER speaker, going to a HI-FI system is like being reborn. As for me, I will never be satisfied... It's just not in my blood :)

    More Panasonic RP-82s on the way?

    Dude... Don't feel so down... YOUR GETTING A DELL! No...no... honestly.... Think of it this way... the rest of the world owns an RP-82... and I mean EVERYONE... so when the RP85 comes around... you'll be the only kid on your block with the shinny new bike. At least... that's what I'm banking...

    Is there anything out there to rival the RP82 for under $300?

    Sadly, I don't have a DVD player, not even a plastic one with candy in it. So here I am, looking to buy one, but I'd like to get the most bang for my buck. Is there anything out there now that will rival Panasonic's RP82? Will there be anything in the near future that will? Thanks!

    Can you damage a speaker by feeding it frequencies lower than its rating?

    Hmm... I don't think so, it's like asking you to blink your third eye..... you can't because you don't have a third eye... your incapable.... just like we can't hear above 20kHz I may be wrong though...

    Paradigm vs B&W

    Like I said, pick what you like. Don't let other people's preferneces affect your choice. As you know, hearing does change with age, so what might sound good today, might sound like garbage in 5 years. Take for instance ATC SCM12s. I heard them, and I hated them, but the retailer told me he'd...

    Paradigm vs B&W

    I was in sorta the same boat... Paradigm or B&W... Personally, they sound very much alike. I compared numerous B&Ws to the Paradigm Monitor series. I didn't have the pleasure of hearing the Studio Series, but I would assume it's "nicer". It comes down to appereance as well, and given my...

    What makes for a blown speaker???

    Well, it's quite simple.... If it sounds like some of Cher's recent stuff (with the horrible computer/distored effects) then it's BROKE!.... It's hard not to tell, I mean, it just doesn't sound right! :)

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    FORGET IT!!! That stuff is too expensive. I bought some QED Original, and reasonably priced considering I've never come across someone in the states that's authorized to sell them. If your intertested, check out the QED website at www.qed.co.uk. They give you values for...

    Well, how about bi-wiring for $150.00? And what the heck does DIY mean?

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    Hmm, what would the number of strands per cunductor matter? In other words, THEORETICALLY is there an advantage of having a wire with a brade 300 as to one with 6? Here's one for everyone to think about. What can you get for 40 ft.(20 per run) under $150.00...

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    Yes, of course rob. I understand, it's 10-15% more cymbals! :) 10-15% clearer finger sliding spanish guitar. :) 10-15% more of the "f&ck" in most of today's rap :)

    Klipsch? did I say Klipsch??? I meant Paradigm Monitor 9s... and by the way, I don't have those :) nor do I have Marantz amp. I simply wanted to post the question, and if I had said I had an Diva A85 with Quad 11L, everyone would say "the heck you worrying about budget? if you can afford that...

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    Well, I don't know about you, but I'd like the wine to flow as 'tastefully' as possible the first time around :) Not meant to be offense, no way, i assure you. I'm simply saying, i want to feel good about my purchase. I want to stop, listen, and say "oh, yeah. mmmmm ONCE AGAIN!"

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    Exactly Bob.... Exactly! Why do equipment/component manufactures not use $82837912881 wiring in their components? Well, to save the consumer some money. When designing components, these short runs of wire are actually not even put into the equation, because they "assume" the losses due to...

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    See I agree with Rob. I am one and was one of the first in my household to hear the swirly cymbals that 128kbps mp3s have. Taking into consideration taht I listen to mostly jazz, it's easy to see why wires are important. Keep up the interesting conversation! Ed

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    Hrm.... Excellent discussion. Now we're heading to the root of the problem... the "Hard" facts. As far as my choice for wire, I'm leaning toward purchasing Sound King 14g wire and bi-wiring by running two pairs to each speaker. My only concern now is corrosion. So anyone with experience with...

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    What about bi-wiring speakers? Has anyone noticed any discernable changes in sound? And also, what about the methods. I know people who bi-wire by running to sets of wire to each speaker, and others who just run a jump from one set. As far as the wire goes, the idea of having thicker wire as...

    Got speakers.. NOW WIRE!!

    Would someone be kind enough to suggest a make/brand of wire that will suit the connection of Klipsch Monitor 9s with a Marantz sr7200 for pure stereo sound (for now) Also, if you know of any good deals, "Hook Me UP!" Thanks Edwin L

    B&W 602 S3 or Paradigm Studio 40s.....

    You know, I'm almost tired of looking for the 'right' pair of speakers. I'm going to pair either of these with a NAD C370, stricly for music. Help me out, and tell me what you think. Keep in mind, style! --Ed

    Considering B&W 602s....

    I would think that the 120W from the NAD C370 would suffice. My only concern is that I've heard the dynamics of the unit are terrific, and that there are better ones out there for the price of the C370. Is this true? I had originally planned on buying a marantz sr6200/sr7200, but thought that I...

    Considering B&W 602s....

    So are they (602s/B&W bookshelves) bright or warm? I personally enjoy a nice warm sound, but admire a cymbal that lingers when it's SUPPOSE too. Thanks for the help Myki.

    Considering B&W 602s....

    SO what size/type/brand wire should i use with them? Umm, an NAD C370. I plan to buy a higher end CD player (more than likely a NAD also) in 6 months. AND....... I never understood this 'warm' sound. I mean, what does 'warm' sound like? Is it cushiony... like maybe a bean-bag sort of...
