This is my first time living in a house 2/3's of which has hardwood flooring over crawl space. I am finding my Infinity Reference Kappa 8's to be too boomy and have ended up hooking up a pair of B&W standmounts instead to alleviate the boom. Any tips would be greatly appreciated that would allow me to enjoy the Infintys save for the usual rugs and echo busters I already employ. Thank-you very much.

Hello all -

I am very new to this game and trying to get some help with my first purchase for a HT system. I am a bit unsure of what speakers to purchase and could use some "expert" input.

I am going to buy a Panny XR55 (maybe xr70)
My rooom is 19X12
Use system for 75/25 movies to music
Plan on buying surrounds to match brand of front speakers - 5.1

I am very curious in regards to the Quad 2905 speakers.
Has anybody had the chance to compare them to the Quad 989 speakers, considered by many as the most accurate panel speakers on the market?
I understand that the structure has been improved, but what about the sound / frequency range / dB threshold?

Aloha,

I was lounging around leafing through hi fi mags this past weekend and Mrs. Buddha was doing a leisurely over the shoulder look into my universe.

After a bit, she asked if I ever noticed how NONE of the systems in the equipment ads would ever actually work.

I said, "Wha-choo talkin' 'bout, woman? They work great!"

She said, "Nope, ain't none got any power cords or interconnects."

Aloha,

I've been looking around for anybody who may have some hands on experience with that Red Rose/Burwen Bobcat set up.

I've been intrigued by what I've come across and want to know more.

Cortot ends his last recording in perfect form. His playing, as ever, nearly epitomizes romantic abandon, and Landon Ronald leads the London Symphony Orchestra in near perfect accompaniment. Even though this 1934 recording is ancient in sound and practice, it seems to perfectly embody many of the traits that define Schumann. Indeed, what pianist other than Cortot could ever conjure the almost dreamy, ecstatic romanticism of that most romantic of romantic composers? But perhaps I should backtrack a bit.
