Bozak Concert Grands

Submitted by seaan on

I was very interested in seeing the review of the Bozak Concert Grand. I became interested in hifi during high school, and the best system I normally heard was my uncle's KLH-9 system. The treble and midrange were incredible (provided you were sitting in the 3-foot wide sweet spot). Even though my uncle had a biamped subwoofer, the KLH-9 had constrained dynamics. In short, that was my reference system while growing up.

Am I the only Country music audiophile on the planet?

Ok, so I'm from Texas and grew up listening to Country. Nobody equates the love of Country music with audiophelia. You might be surprised at the level of audio reproduction in the Country music world.

I would venture to say that the quality of reproduction in Country music (in general) wipes the floor with the reproduction of mainstream rock and pop.

Anybody else around here enjoy Country?

riding the crest of the price/performance curve

Concerning a pair of floorstanding loudspeakers, at about what price range is the the peak of the curve on a price/performance basis? In other words, what is the price range, beyond which the law of diminishing returns starts to kick in? I'm talking about over-all audio performance. One thousand dollars per pair? Two Thousand? I'm just curious and would like to see if there is any kind of general concensus about it.

Has anyone listened to this budget player and if so, how does it compare to the non modified 67se?

I'm looking to upgrade my front end in my home office system that currently has the 67se. I may stretch for the 8260, but considering the age of the 67 I'm curious if the newer technology in digital has significantly advanced to the degree that the 5400 might be considerably better than the dated 67.

On this occasion, however, John had not come over to tell me to run. Rather, he had come to tell me where to go: “Good work, but I think you’ll have to steer more towards audio,” he suggested.

F. Alton Everest: 1909–2005

Sep 19, 2005

<I>We were saddened to learn just this week that F. Alton Everest died earlier in the month. Like many audiophiles, much of what we know about acoustics was gleaned from Everest's authoritative books on the subject, including several editions of his </I>Master Handbook of Acoustics<I>, </I>Critical Listening and Auditory Perception<I>, and </I>Acoustical Techniques for Home and Studio<I>. Everest packed a lot of living into 95 years, earning a BSc in EE from Oregon State and an EE from Stanford. He taught at Oregon State and Hong Kong Baptist Universities, worked in film production for 25 years, and was an acoustic consultant for 15. During WWII, he spent four years in undersea acoustic research. He was an Emeritus Member of the Acoustical Society, Life Member of the IEEE, Life Fellow of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers, Member of the Audio Engineering Society, and cofounder and past president of American Scientific Affiliation.

Mordaunt-Short Music Series 25i ?

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Today I heard in a store a pair of floorstanding Mordaunt-Short MS25i. I liked what I heard and decided to buy them. Then I started to search for info about them on the web and found only very old references. Are these loudspeakers discontinued? If they are, how long time ago? If yes, should it affect my decision? Do the newer speakers (say, Mordaunt-Short Advent 906) have advantages over the old ones?
Thanks for your help.
