A very lobsided game. The quarterback Foley seems to be on fire. Watched the first game across the street at my local. Watching the final quarter of the second fixture at home.

This may be a good sign for the hobby. Quite a few of the mellenials are on a retro turntable path. Would be nice to see this generation step away from their phones and little blue tooth speakers and get into proper full sized stereos.

Right on, glad you liked them. I’m no psychic ( would have rigged a lottery number by now), but I like to consider myself pragmatic and frugal - although my wife translates that as cheap. A nice sounding system in hand is worth two in the bush. You have something you can enjoy now, whilst planning for the future. A half decent AVR will also take care of your two channel music enjoyment during the planning stages. I would consider this acquisition a victory for both yourself and your family.

I have never heard Infinity towers. I do have a very nice Infinity system in my Jeep that I really like.

It seems to be the case, more like a pantry or storage room!

Axiom makes a good product, the M80s are supposed to be quite good and several reviewers have said they punch above thier price point. A free set for TV and movies is a gift horse. You are then free to concentrate on Klipsch for your two channel system. Everyone wins.

Well that thread didn’t go where I thought it was heading...

I find it gets things close to the way I like it with the exception of the centre and sub which I have to cut back a bit.

Long term transplant, originally from Oshawa. Had relations here and would come for summer jobs back when I was a student. Moved here in 82. Moved south for a decade and returned in 05. Will be here until I retire, then back to the south.

It works very well in my room with the Marantz SR5008. I find the dynamic volume setting at light or medium is great for low to mid level TV watching in the evenings, it keeps the sound full. When in two channel music listening mode I turn it off.

I had not heard of DuckDuckGo until reading this thread. I use Firefox at work and the built in Safari on the IPad at home. I’m going to experiment with it.

I didn’t realize that he had been in such rough shape. Multiple prescriptions can be tricky to balance, especially with powerful painkillers in the mix.

Wow, it looks great.

Nice way to get them up and off the floor.

I’m sort of with you. I had hoped to see some trickle down from the Palladium series.

They will be fine - think about car audio. I have a Jeep with an Infinity set up and the vehicle is not parked in a heated space. It’s -38 here today and they sound fine. I’ve had this vehicle for eight winters here and can’t hear any difference from the day I brought it home new.

This is the first I have heard of this. I’m hoping 2018 won’t see as many losses as we had in 2017.

You have to love Florida cars. They are highly sought in Ontario Canada. My father had a nice older Cadillac Deville he kept at his Florida Winter residence. He had one of the newer sportier Caddilacs for a short time and hated it. He is as old school as they come and as far as he is concerned a Caddy isn’t a Caddy unless it a big *** land yacht. I drove it several times over a few years during visits. Florida has great smooth highways and this thing was like driving a smooth couch through the state. When his health gave out he had to sell the place but drove the Florida Caddy back to his home in Ontario and enjoyed for several more years. His crew of buddies at Tim Hortons loved the thing and one of them bought it. Low mileage, not a mark on it.

Palladium 39s would be magnificent or mint Electo-Voice Interface Ds.

Fair enough, we tend to see things through our own prism here. You will have no trouble whatsoever moving these. Good luck with your sale.

Well that was quick. Those would never have left my family, however I find it odd he doesn’t remember them.

Down the road if they begin working on their soundstage and other delivery aspects you may see them and others using new tech take off. Physics can be fought with DSP and essentially unlimited cheap power. The future of sound is going to be interesting. What we see currently are essentially refinements of century old loudspeaker concepts. 10, 20, 30 years from now who knows?

Interesting thread. I also use the RC62 centre. I find it very clear and neutral for dialogue, however I have found Audessey generally sets it a bit low, so I have adjusted it. I have to agree with statements about the soundtracks, they are not created equal. I find many have background and effect sounds far too high in relation to dialogue. Others are just mixed funky. We watched a couple movies yesterday and I had to slightly alter the centre levels with both of them. Once we are finished, I move it back to where we leave it for regular TV.

I can see some serious trickle down tech coming out of these as the company grows. The built in hybrid class A/D amps are interesting. I think 20 years from now (or less), self powered speakers will be the norm.

They are supposed to really be something else .Something like 30 patents involved, 14hz to 27khz range. A whole lot of new science in these. Would love to hear a pair. edit: 108 patents.
