Oh yeah. We know all about the 25% VAT based on everything purchased in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. That's why I spent a ton of time on researching how to repair failing panels instead of replacing them. Not that I wouldn't prefer new panels, but the final cost can be a deciding factor in some...

I suspect any choice of CD changer will sound great using the optical out thru an external DAC. I have a Pioneer 301 and a SONY 400 with SACD in addition to my regular listening sources. The nice thing about these gadgets is they serve as storage for CD's / DVD's and you never have to worry...

The CLS's have an incredible 3 dimensional sound stage. Using them up front might your best option for placement and imaging.

My co-worker who sits next to me uses the AL2416W. AL2416W Split screen work is a lot better on the 24" vs the 20" I have.

Ah, statistics to back up Joey's question. :rocker:

Well I have lived in many countries including the US and would base my observations on the financial disposition to those who can afford. Priorities in households differ wildly from country to country and like the many pleasures in life exotic sound systems are just one of those priorities. I...

I would have to say the SLEEP DIRT album by Frank Zappa as one of his best instrumental compositions to date. The cover of the album would put most people off from even giving it a chance to be heard, but once listen to you will be haunted by Franks guitar solos for days afterwards. Truly a...

That's like watching (reading) an episode of 60 minutes. I have a co-worker who just recently purchased a lap-top with Vista already installed. He was also disappointed in the performance as Vista appeared to be top heavy. Kind of like owning a sports car with only winding roads to drive on...

At one point in time I use to attend every seminar that was within a days travel. After seeing those videos I wonder "WHAT WAS I THINKING BACK THEN". :eek:

I have read this post once before and find it interesting that the contents havn't been challenged to date. One might argue that new formats like SACD have little to offer other than an attempt to limit the advancement of competing formats like DVD-A. Companies like SONY/Phillips will...

I would try hooking the electric movie screen to a separate circuit in the house and see if it makes a difference. The load on the current (common) circuit might be close to it maximum rated load when you activate the screen. In some cases there could be a flaw with the house fuse pending on...

The problem with painting the panels is you would have to separate the stators to get to the insides of the stators. Not that this can't be done but it is a time consuming project and no guarantee they will sound the same when reassembled. Your best chance of success is to contact ML and hear...

Those are some cool looking woofers. :rocker:

This is a kind of retro approach to design. I remember back in the late seventies when Phillips came out with some similar designs which were eye catching. I think there is a correlation here as there is with food. If it looks good it should taste good. So maybe the Shanlings CD500 is one of...

Ken, I totally agree with you, use the best tools for the right job. If Vista becomes a reliable OS and users embrace it then all the power to them. If it proves to be a white elephant then this could be the chance for other OS manufactures to grab a larger market share. I don’t care. I’ll use...

Your right! Those engines are not working. :eek:

What kind of speaker would be affected by too much power is the question? Dynamic speakers in general can overheat the voice coil if too much energy is supplied but not necessary heard as distortion. An electrostatic speaker will smack against the stator and would obviously not sound good but...

Upgrades have always intrigued me as you never know if the original design was flawed or they just found a better way to make things sound. One thing I've noticed in the past is that when new upgrades come along many appear to embrace these upgrades and argue that what was built in the past is...

I'm a freelance contractor in the IT industry. For what it's worth I started out in the air-force and was drawn into the computer industry by chance. 26 years later I'm still developing systems on a global scale. My clients include nuclear power plants, telecom and large shipping companies to...

My wife was looking at those chairs the other day as she wanted another chair in the living room (Ikea Spain). It didn't even cross my mind that they where used as listening chairs but now you mention it I have seen them in many of the audio stores. :rolleyes:
