I just wanted to say, I was at the local cinema(Regal Red Rock, Las Vegas) to watch a movie when the trailer for the new GI JOE movie came on. This particular Regal Cinema has the full klipsch set up. MY GOD, the LFE sounds and vibrations and the crisp highs that were coming thru my seat and thru the stadium were life changing. NEVER, and I mean NEVER have I been so moved by a set of sounds as I was that day. I am not much of a GI JOE fan, but the mix was just superb on that preview. To put it in perspective for me, a week later I was at another theater that was equipped with JBL... lol, it was a joke in comparison... same trailer.

pretty awesome!

since you were building from scratch, wouldn't you want to extend the depth of the cabinets?

^this... there is also a Mr.Clean magic eraser technique that you can do once a month or so. GENTLY drop the stylus onto a Mr Clean Magic Eraser and lift straight off... do this three or four times.

toss on some real cane grills and I will find a way to afford on... if you're going retro, go all the way. I have to say, the stadium looks wonderful also

the last 25 purchases have been Vinyl. I'm buying nothing else going forward unless I can not get it on LP

just beautiful... can I drive it please?

post script... when did EddieV turn into Neil Young?

I hate to say it... I love it! I have not listen to VH since the founder left decades ago... now, let's do it!

I'm not laughing.[]

I just bought one this week... has not arrived as yet

why would even suggest this is a speaker issue OP? that's an approach from the wrong direction

try eq adjusting your set up... it does wonders

**Okay I can see where this thread is going... I just looked, I have: 4 Copies of Dalis Car with Peter Murphy and Mick Karn 3 Copies of League of Gentleman with Robert Fripp and Sara Lee 3 copies of Overnight Sensation with Frank Zappa 2 Copies of Apostrophe with FZ

you know that shotgun you have in the closet... that's what it's for

need a bigger room

Why not? I don't have money to burn. I'd rather take my wife out to a nice dinner than have an 80 pound amplifier staring back at me if it adds nothing except a bunch of headroom I'll never use. As far as I'm concerned, if all else is equal (and there is no guarantee of this, especially when discussing solid state vs tubes), there won't be a difference between a 300 watt amplifier and a 30 watt amplifier when you're never asking more than a fraction of a watt even for peak levels. so we all have to live life according to your personal strategies otherwise a fool? come on now. Ah hell, I better stop using 92 octane petrol also. personally, I never understood this "lowest common denominator" philosophy... OP, take into account any upgrades you may be choosing to do in the future!

exactly the boat I am in right now... I want either a bryston(used) or emotiva(new) or I am going with Ice Amp... period. right now, I am leaning towards ICE

the question isn't why buy a big amp... it's why NOT buy a big amp! if you can give me a single legitimate reason, you win... and guess what, the old "it's a waste of power and money" are NOT good reasons.

HEAR HEAR!

I hit the reserve button for emotiva holiday pricing on the X2 several weeks ago... no luck yet in as far them letting me know one is available. I almost bought a pair of the mono x1's but I kind of glad I didn't, my set up is powerful enough just using the USP pre amp in analog. when that X2 shipment comes in I will be getting one if I still get that pricing.

you're going to need a set up... they do not come set up even from the factory, and even if they were set up prior to shipping, you need to check it. very basic things you need to do is set up the cart and it's alignment in the head and then check for tonearm balance(there are youtube videos fro tone arm balance),then you need to set your anti-skating(this is probably your major issue) those are the absolute basics prior to even trying to playing a record. VTA isn't your issue, that's a stock cartridge and stock tone arm. the rega anti-skating mechanism is a little weird(but it works)... it's the little bar under the main tonearm, it slides out. do all your initial measurements with everything set at zero specially the cart preload.

YES! well worth the investment.. $0

.06 is NOT half of .09... that's pretty funny math there. let me ask you something... do you think you can discern .03% out of 100%?
