Hi I'm looking to buy some speakers for my MP3 player. Idealy they would be portable as it would be used buring BBQs and parties in the garden. Any suggestions as to which speakers would be best. I've been looking at harman/kardon go and play, what do you think?

Does anyone here own one?

Listened to one?

Opinions?

Good ? Bad? Other wise?

Hi!

I just bought a Mini Theater System from PSB (with a Subseries 1 sub, 4 Alpha LR1 speakers and 1 CLR1 speaker) with a Sony STR-DA2400ES AV receiver.

When I look at the specification of my speakers, the impedance for the LR1 is 6 ohms nominal and 4 ohms minimum and for the CLR1 is 8 ohms nominal and 6 ohms minimum. On my AV receiver, I can choose either 8 or 4 ohms, but the configuration applies for all of my speakers at the same time.

I would like to know which configuration should I choose.

Thank you

So I started to read the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" megabox review with keen interest, because I wanted to know if the included LP was good enough of a justification for me to splurge on the box. But, surprise, no mention of how the vinyl sounded at all!!! (Or did I just read the review too quickly?) Just that it's blue & gimmicky, which is an obvious point! Can we get a considered, non-snarky comment on the LP, too, please, since it's a big part of the box that's under review? Thanks.

Hello there. I wish I could find a proper explanation about this situation. With some basic tuning devices (like Stereophile Test cds) I have achieved with my stereo the "virtual" center channel a good stereo imaging is supposed to provide. The effect is clearly there and when hearing a cd one could swear there was a center channel where the voices come out. BUT the thing is that I don't know why, if I move my chair slighty to the right and thus the voice sounding also slighty to the right I experience a very nice? hearing sensation, like some SRS effect.

I've been struggling to find any relevant information about this, so I figured this would be a great place to ask.

I've heard both sides of the fence here, so I'm not 100% sure which is accurate.

Please understand that I'm already aware that it's better to listen off of the hard drive with a lossless rip, but that's not the question at hand at this time.

A) What makes a good computer CD transport? I know that the player will have a great impact, so please negate that aspect of it for now.

I dropped my laptop from about 4 feet onto a hardwood floor. It still worked, but I had a few things I wanted to backup anyway. A day later, the HDD died. Initially horrified at the blinking cursor on my screen, I glanced at my external backup drive and smiled.

Are you in good hands?

Looking to add more power to my system I came across Emotiva on the Web. It seems that they make high quality audiophile products at great prices. Well having been brainwashed to believe that is not possible I sent an eMail to Emotiva to ask about how their equipment may compare to others. Here is their reply:

Hello Rich,

First off I would like to say thank you for your interest in Emotiva. I would also like to apologize for the delayed reply to your email. I have been out of the office and now I am trying to get caught up.
