  • Yeah, sorry, I know most don't care but I think y'all just don't realize how big of deal this guy was and how much he actually impacted your lives and you don't even know it. Today there have been sooooo many posts about it on Facebook from: - Jon Bon Jovi - Blues Traveler - The Offspring - Billy Idol - The Hooters -…

  • I dunno, in NJ, profanity is a first language. I think y'all need to stop clutching pearls and go touch some grass in the sun.
  • It should go on a beer run for us
  • Holy necro'ed post, Batman! 21.5 years old, that's gotta be a record!
  • He was sick for a while, some uncommon type of illness or cancer IIRC
  • Honestly, this whole thread should be nuked. RIAA and the Copyright Gestapo or not, these "free video" sites are just bad in general. Use them at your own risk. I would be very wary about sites like these, though, as they often come with various forms of spyware and malware that will do everything from collect your data…
  • Not you, pops. The bot that denies their bothood.
  • I'm not convinced, there, Botty McBottersen. Pics or it didn't happen.
  • Dang, I thought I had issues!
  • Wait.... Your brother's mother's father's son's daughter has a talking dog?!?!?!
  • I heard those speakers once, I think it was a "Nobody Beats The WIZ" store. So it was a loooong time ago now. I just remember that if you were seated, there was a sure sweet spot right in front of your face and the sound was hovering all at a single point right in front of you. But if you stood up or went off axis by a…
  • I, for one, welcome our new Harman International overlords!
  • Lead singer reminds me of Jesse if he was ever actually young. https://youtu.be/PCsGRCf8T9Y?si=7BJSt_fJrzMdoRS2
  • Geez, Polk origin story? Polk Audio EX 402's in the dash of my 1987 Ford Ranger. I think I got them in 1995, maybe early 1996. https://forum.polkaudio.com/discussion/24517/i-think-this-was-posted-before-but-what-was-your-first-system Those EX 402's are still there and they still work. That only started the journey. I got a…
  • If you are looking used, Adcom amps, while often described as "sterile" are inexpensive on the used market and are more neutral than sterile. You can find some serious powerhouses from Adcom that will drive a set of any SDAs all day long. Pair an Adcom amps with a tube based preamp you'll be in for a treat t bargain prices.
  • If sticker shock is not your bag but you want big, clean power at an affordable price, New Audio Dimensions (NAD) has a few amplifiers and integrated amplifiers that I have had great success with when powering SDAs. I'd put them on par with the Parasound amps that others are talking about. The NAD C399 integrated everyone…

  • I hope they have a Possum Lodge Local in heaven for Edgar K.B. Montrose. https://youtu.be/1tXqxPbq7XE?si=9kB0gDFgIr9JC_pc
  • No, I was just busy and then I got one of these.
  • You would. That's very Canuckistanian of you. :p
  • I've heard stuff that people say that I don't agree with. I've heard stuff people say that others don't agree with but I do. I find that it's not the experience level that matters as much as the understanding of what is producing that experience for the listener. While, technically, this is true...on paper, reality is not…
  • I think I'd prefer "The Walleye Stance" to "The Greenhead Dance" we do down here on the back bays!
  • Sounds like something a bot would say. We need one of those "I am not a robot" check boxes.
  • Typically no because of the way the tubes work, they need to be hot. They have a heater plate in them and typically that's the biggest draw on power for both the tubes and transformers. So you can blow a fan on them but you run the risk of the glass tubes being cooler on one side than the other and that can cause them to…
  • It honestly shouldn't. The noticeable difference will be in the dynamics level of the different channels. If the other channels aren't adjusted to match what the tube amp is putting out, you'll have to turn the volume up significantly higher to be able to hear the lower powered tube channels and that will make the other…
  • OK, so, those JBLs have a 15 watt minimum so despite the lower sensitivity, they seem to be an easy load to drive. Horn loading a heavy tweeter can really boost performance at lower levels of power. Anyway, the important specs are: Power range (watts) 15-200 Sensitivity 85 dB Impedance (ohms) 4 So depending on your budget,…
  • Power isn't a good measure of what you would want. You can have a tube amp with only 20 watts per channel and it will perform as well or better than a tube amp with 60 watts per channel. There's two factors you need to consider when choosing something that fits your room with tube amplification. Well, three. First: Budget.…
  • You know what? I got an old Rotel RSP-960X Dolby Pro Logic pre-amp with an old Rotel stereo pro-logic amp (means it had 2 stereo channels, a center hybrid channel and a non-discrete rear surround)...both were new in like 1995 or something, gimmie a break! But I used it as my bedroom rig for, like, 10 years. I still have it…
  • Are you interested in "Flexi-racks"? The ones made with all-thread and MDF or plywood? 'Cause I can tell you what you need to do to make one not flexible and sonically dead. Doesn't have to be that big either. That's just what fit my needs.
