works and looks as new ...

velodyne sub was fucked up though as the paper cone surrounds on the driver were dry and brittle and it ripped already. might be able to ditch it for parts though as it works otherwise.

Okay, here you are: You're a Real World music lover trying to sling together a Real World hi-fi rig. You gotcha budget-king NAD/Rotel/JVC/Pioneer CD player, your SOTA Comet/Sumiko Blue Point analog rig, and your cool-man NHT/PSB/Definitive Technology entry-level speakers. Hell, you've even gone out and bought a few pairs of Kimber PBJ interconnects to hook it all up. This ain't no dog and pony show—you want that High-End High, not just some cheap'n'cheerful, low-rez rig to stick in the rumpus room so the kids can listen to that weak-ass, faux-grunge, watered-down Hendrix-howl that modern-day wimp-boys like Pearl Jam dish out to anyone under 30 who doesn't know any better.

can anyone even parse this fucking text

is this english

wrong amp ... I have the 980BX (Nostalgia Edition)

I borrowed a pair of speakers from a friend to test them out. NB OM never sounded so Transilvanian.

Might have to swap out that prepamp though ... seems really "revealing" ... and no bass/treble ADJUSTMENTS

Not sure what to get as speakers for this rig ... need something warm and mellow .... Mordaunt Short Carnival 2?

the gods of clarity once spoke to me...
i have heard never heard the same ever since... i bleed even now.

Ken ... what do you think of studio monitors for home use? some people highly recommend them if you have a good amp

something like:

OR

[Krilons Resa]

why would you want studio monitors? prob wont be a good match with your rotel amp btw.

 

[lurch70]

why not? most swear to the most pristine sound reproduction ... as they should for studio use.
