Hello sb6, I suspect the bass is pretty good on that record, but how do you find the midrange and treble? Sometimes the artists focus too much on one portion of the frequency spectrum at the expense of the others. Thanks for posting!

Great system Steve, and very nice write up and pictures. I just love that poster above your rack. Did some awesome person give that to you or did you draw it yourself?

Hello Wardsweb - If the invite is still open, I'd love to drop by. Actually I spoke to SlowGEEZR and another local member and we all may be dropping by. We'll keep you posted. Thanks!!

If someone else was doing the changing and you could pick which was which it would hold a lot more weight, at least to me. Of course, this is another huge can of worms.

I'm not sure how anyone could expect good sound in that room. You have a very nice system and a good amount of money in it. To invest some hundreds more in room treatments would be the best thing you could do IMO. I can recommend GIK as I've dealt with them and know others who have as well. They...

Cool video, the Austin track looks nice. Do you guys know where in Austin it will be located? I was in Shanghai last Wednesday and some of the guys I was working with (Italian) were big fans and were pumped to go to the races last weekend.

Yes, a great time at Steve's (aka Sb6) house the other night. His system sounded great. It was interesting to hear a good system in a big room because I'm used to almost sitting on top of my speakers in my 12' x 13' room. Who says Martin Logans can't rock - They did at Steve's that's for sure...

Count me in guys. I'll pencil April 1st in.

Gread thread - Thanks The Lonestar Audio Fest in Dallas each year (13 - 15 May this year) is mostly manufacturer rooms, but there are always a handful of personal exhibits. Last year one of the guys had highly modified Altecs with 300b amps on the horns and big SS amps on the woofers. Of course...

I must be doing something wrong. I saved the image, cut A and placed next to B. A is much darker.

You can learn a lot on forums like this, but nothing replaces listening. I would expect that living in CA would put you close to some people that have been into this hobby for a while. If you could connect with a local group or someone close by it would help a lot. Visit dealers. Visit shows. It...

Well, down to 2 now. I was poking around the Klipsch forum as I do on occasion and saw that one of the guys from Austin that I know posted that he saw an advert for some KHorns. He was asking other K members how they sounded. Being the good citezen I am I offered for him to bring his amp to my...

Yeah, but... I think there is something to be said for listening to albums, and not songs. When I put in a disc I almost always listen to the entire album (I'll skip some of the crappy, filler songs). A lot of the music I listen to - Classic Rock for example - has a theme throughout the album...

I had a great time, Steve. Your system sounded fantastic. The thing about it that impressed me as much as anything else is that it sounded great no matter what we threw at it, and we threw a lot. From Holly Cole to Pink Floyd, Tom Waits to Miles Davis, and literally dozens of other artists it...

Steve (SlowGEEZER) - Had a great time at your home the other night, great system, great music. It's always fun to listen to others' systems and BS about all things audio. It was good to meet Steve Sb6 as well. The thing is, while I was at your house listening to your Wilsons someone was...

Yes, EU compliance. I bought a Primare CD player a while ago. On the US version the rocker on/off switch was on the bottom left of the unit (slide fingers between the shelf and bottom of the unit, there it is), and on the EU version it was next to the mains cable input. I deal with it in my...

I was there only Sunday. Blind Pilot was very good and The Constellations blew my socks off. NJ put on a good show too. Heck, I didn't see a bad act all day.

ACL Fest 2010 Hit the Austin City Limits Festival at about 11:30 Sunday morning. Lots of great acts: Ruby Jane ,The Blind Pilots, The Constellations, Band of Horses, Martin Sexton, Norah Jones (pic), The Flaming Lips, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Eagles. Lots more, and that was...

Wow Steve, very nice indeed. They look to be pushed into the corner quite a bit. Is that their final resting place (or close to it)? If so, that does give a little more room which is always a good thing. Congratulations. I read somewhere that it's impolite to invite oneself over to someone's...

Hard to pick a winner on this one, but if I had to it would probably be 200 miles as well. I've got a couple of Ryan Adams albums and like them a lot, but I was really impressed with him on this album. Not only his playing and singing, but his contribution and input. He came off as very talented...
