As used? About ZIP!!! Unless it's an Elvis promo LP from some radio staion, that no one has, LP's are worthless as are even CD's or SACDs wow, they get $4. After you paid how much....Yeah those "audiophile" Lps what a deal. I guess it's better to just keep em and use em....so the next time you buy some used LP's at a used LP store, look what they paid for those "valuable" pieces of plastic.

I'm looking for a SINGLE bookshelf/monitor sized speaker. I want one with some fairly good bass extension, which rules out most of those designed to be "center" speakers, I think.

Where should I go? Would Audiogon be a source? I'm thinking that few dealers would have an "extra" speaker around for sale...

To all those Dads out there- hope you're having/had a good one! And if you got in a little time to hang out with your kid(s) and listen to some good music, all the better.

Yeah, that's the trouble, if ya got crap in a box, it'll sell to the gullible. This truly explains the concpet of BS marketing and selling shit in a fancy box, at high prices.. They use the Benz logo to justify it? What an insult to Benz, who has a 100+ year old history of inovations, and QUALITY. Are they authorized to use that logo on their site? I think they should PAY Benz a fee, just like these guys take a fee to do stuff? Don't they get their own business, of hype and marketing, how dare they use such a QUALITY world wide brand to shill some audio BS. IMHO of course.

Remove a ground terminal, has magic copper materials, and now, thinner is better than fatter, since fat wires are just so passe', need a new marketing approach, now THIN sounds better.....amazing how this happens. http://www.psaudio.com/products/xstream_power_statement_sc_overview.asp

I am new to these forums, so please point me in the right direction if there is already another discussion on this topic.

Aloha,

I was reading about sound localization and perception, and it made me start to think about speaker imaging, which made me wonder about what people notice.

Does "imaging" seem fragile to you?

When I listen, I will often 'look' to where the apparent (illusory) 'source' of a given sound may be in the presentation of my Hi Fi. For instance, if a sax player seems to be stage left, I will often look to where I think that player would be.
