Understood & completely agree, wish I had the room for more. I've got 2 SVS SB2000 active now but mostly sufficient for my limited space.

So why did you get rid of them ?

Yes, that's a S&S Cycle GBL from the early 1970s. I ran it on my 1966 Harley FLH for close to 2 decades, originally a 74 ci engine with lightened flywheels and a bunch of other racing tricks. Then later it was bored & stroked to 96 ci. and so much more. One of the fastest Harleys in the Chicago...

That is unfortunate, there is so much really high quality entertainment available, like saying your utterly uninterested in music? Your loss I guess. I've been chasing the High Fidelity demon since the 1960s, trying always to get better quality sound and video for my home entertainment needs...

2 and not enough !

But having a song stuck in your head that plays over and over that you can't get out is enough to drive you crazy some days. LOL

Maybe next year. For Audiophiles of a certain age (Boomers) PWK will always be remembered as a icon of audio, one of the top 25 movers and shakers in the early Hi-Fi world.

Has anyone actually documented cases of BD and UHD 4K discs failing due to disc rot? Bummmer if so. Kaleidescape is attractive to folks with large HT and that do a lot of movie viewing. For the one or two movie a month people I find it's cost restrictive.

LOL, I bet it does. ;)

I have 2 SVS SB2000's (original, not pro) subs. Integration, etc; done via Denon AVR X4700H > Audyssey XT32 + Editor app. Final curve tweaking done after measurements made using REW.

Maybe there is still a thing they used to call "payola" ??? :rolleyesno:

Naw, what they're doing is lying to everyone asking for lossless, saying that it's "just around the corner, any day now" for over 3 years now. They're trying to hang onto their old customer base without spending anything to keep them, but if you think about it, it's not working too well. Just a...

Opinions are fine but the facts can be presented using measurement. Spotify is one of the last music streamers still using a lossy compressed file system to save on required bandwidth (money) and with it is about the lowest sound quality available today. I don't know why you're finding them to...

Play the file in the free software Audacity?

Not sure I can hear any differences, but then I'm old. LOL Anywho, I know it's a fact that the lossy compression used by Spotify is subtlety audible with some material under controlled conditions. I was a Spotify user for many years, even after the others started streaming in lossless for the...
