  1. I wonder if they will sound better when they break in. Do 29 year old (new) speakers need to break in? A very different sound than my quartets, more forward, different soundstage, not better, just different. Still like the my cornwall I's the best. These will be great start for my heritage surround system.
  2. Oh my! These sound better than my old heresy ii with titanium tweets. They come close to the quality of my quartets. They look brand new but someone had hooked them up. There were slight scratches on the binding screws and one screw was missing. pink floyd, the wall, was the first thing i put through them...comfortably numb. Steely dan next. Then led zep.
  3. I am looking forward to more pictures. Very nice work.
  4. I think the PS3 is one that does't and it may be the most popular right now. I have a PS3 and as I understand it, HDMI out is the only way for HD sound for me.
  5. EL34's will power them tomorrow night.
  6. The hd sound of blue ray is almost a bigger for me than the better hd picture. There are inexpensive ($350onkyo) recievers that will capture the hd sound from the hdmi connection and pass throught the hd picture via hdmi or component to your tv. It is worth it.

    PS3 question

    I agree the PS3 hd sound from the the hdmi connection really sounded noticably better any thing else I have heard. I even have a HD DVD that did not sound as good. I like to watch (listen) to concerts and I have noticed a huge difference in the music. I notice the quality increase to a lesser extent on movies. This may be due to the mastering/recording quality of the movies. Does anyone have a reference sound track that they think diplays the best of HD audio?
  8. Unbelievable pair of 1979 WO heresies. Brand new in the plastic, in the original boxes, with the owners manual attached. I picked them up in NYC. The address was west 192nd street. I was a little worried about the location. The seller offered to meet me in CT but the traffic was light and I was early so I drove in. I did a drive by and the area was not bad, lots of people on the street. The 20 something kid was very nice and explained that the speakers had been stored in the back of his family's beauty salon. I checked them out at the car and they loaded them up. Can wait to hear them when I get home tomorrow night.
  9. I started with quartets. My illness has now progessed to cornwalls. I flirt with selling the quartets to try some belles or lascalas. If you love the sound its hard not to try all the flavors.
  10. I have a Onkyo 674 that will be going to a friend. Looking at the new 606 and the pioneer elite 01. Wanted nad but they do not pick up the hd sound from the hdmi connection from my ps3. I have 2 other cheaper onkyos in the house and 2 others at school with kids. No problems with any of them and I think the kids really abuse theirs.
  11. How did you obtain the code? Do they have codes for other products like an onkyo receiver?
  12. I am looking for options for my new 5.1 setup. My room is 15 x 15 with a big right angle sectional in the middle of the back wall. See the picture. I am moving to heresys for the right, left and center. I have wall mounted PSB bipolar surrounds currently. I am worried that if i add 2 heresy surrounds they will be to close to the outboard listeners ears if they are on stands behind the sectional. Is there a wall mount that would voice well with the heresy?
  13. Greg, I should have let you buy my veneer. It took me two return shipping charges to get the stuff I will use.
  14. The seller asked for offers and I offered $300. I was going to have a friend pick them up for me but I decided to make the 4 hr round trip to pick them up toninght. I am moving to a full klipsh heritage theater set up. I will be selling a psb image 5 speaker setup soon. I will be loaning my truck to another friend on Sunday to pickup a pair of oak khorns. Horns for everyone.
  15. Rumors are out that apple is changing the ipod line. Some mock ups of the new nano are posted. http://www.macrumors.com/2008/08/24/ipod-nano-case-leaks-ipod-touch-to-have-gps/
  16. Can't wait to try them. They will be used for travel and outside chores. As for my tastes I have had several grado headphone I am very happy with sound. I do not use them as much as I did in the old days of college. I still prefer cornwalls, tube power and vinyl to any headphone setup. How is the effiecency? I have noticed that I tend to listen to in-earphones pretty high in the volume range on my ipod classic.
  17. No idea. I only talked to him briefly yesterday to tell him I wanted them. I am waiting for him to call me back to arrange pick up. I will ask him a few questions.
  18. Decided to part with some american express rewards points. Should have a pair in a week or so. I will report back. I have been using etymotics but they developed a crackle in one side. I really liked them before the crackle but I am hoping for more comfort from the images.
  19. Found these on craigslist will pick up this week. The seller says they have never been used with 1979 serial number in orginal boxes.
  20. Could it be a static charge on the vinyl?

    PS3 question

    You will be back in business shortly. I have another PS3 question. I am considering some receivers that do not have HDMI connections. Has anyone compared the component out (using an adapter cable) and the optical audio? How does look and sound compared to HDMI?
  22. Very nice find. I have had new Pro-jects and highly modified older ARs. They don't sound as good as my TD-150. Happy spinning.
  23. Saw Buddy Guy and George Thorogood last Saturday night at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. We had a group of 16 for my wife's birthday. Good time had by all. I have seen George fo each of his NH appearances over the last 7-8 years. Always a good show. He may have lost a step this year. I had saw Buddy Guy last year and he talked for most of the show, this year he played and played well. I think Buddy outshined George.
  24. Very nice work. Great attention to detail. I wish I could hear them.
