A good friend of mine is asking for some advice (for a friend) regarding an custom AV installer called MediaCraft (http://www.mediacraftav.com/) Her friend is building a house in VA and wants to do a $15,000 small home theater plus a few multi-zone audio locations. Does anyone have experience with Media Craft? They look okay to me, but I thought I would post here first.....................

Hi, newbie audiophile here.

I auditioned the Monitor Audio silver RX6 the Triangle Heliade and the Martin Logan Preface with a Moon i-3.3. I haven't bought yet. I have the opportunity to buy the 2CE Sigs and am wondering if I'll be happier with these than I am with the ones I auditioned. I have no opportunity to listen to the Sigs? Thanks for any help you can give me.

JA states in this month's editorial that reproduced music and live sound are two different things. Hardly anyone would disagree with that. What shocked me was how *close* playback came to a live demo that JA and others heard recently.

Where this demo came up short, however, was in the loudspeaker. Don't conventional designs smear transients ? Aren't they high in distortion...and noise ? I would think a cutting-edge horn (like the big Magicos) would bring out those missing transients a little more....

Big vote today.

Hard to believe the blue party couldn't come up with better.

59-41?

60-40?

Even as a liberal, I don't dig the notion of 60-40 - it becomes too unilateral.

Has anyone considered a player like this specifially for Redbook audio and 2-channel SACDs?

Well, I'm due to replace my vintage system which now gets all the critical listening. I'm going to sell off parts of it to fund a new system. I've settled on a few pieces to continue to explore and would like your help in determining any pitfalls to avoid and new directions that might be apparent. The room is 11.5' by 15.75' and has room treatments consisting of bass traps in the corners, and absorption panels at the first reflection points, behind the listening position and on the wall behind the loudspeakers.

How come these people haven't got food and water yet? Decent medical care? This sounds like Katrina only much worse. I hope you losers that blamed all that on the last president feel like shit this go around. Along with all the other bullshit you idiots were wrong about. Pft!

Oh, and BTW, don't think people are not noticing a guy says goodbye to his girlfriend and shuts down thousands of people for hours at Newark and some other loser walks through the wrong door at JFK and the whole mess starts all over again. Yeah, this hope and change shit is working splendid.
