hopkins Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 (edited) I build large speakers ("open baffle") and dabbled with vintage speakers (Altec), but I realized I was spending too much time tinkering with the sound, never really satisfied, and I was too often listening to the same "playlists" for comparison purposes. 6 months ago, I "downsized", in favor of a set of very cheap speakers (400€!) that someone recommended. I did modify them by changing the "crossover filters" (I just followed instructions provided by a trusted source). I'm really happy with the sound, which I find detailed, lively, yet relaxing and very easy to listen to for a long time. My girlfriend is happy not having monster speakers in the living room, and she really enjoys the sound as well.

BFrank Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 Obviously not "mine", but part of an exhibit about music at SFMOMA recently. They had music people curating they're own hand-picked music to play on this system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoy the Blue Note in Napa, and Yoshi's in SF, but those are over 2 hour drives for me. I do not get out as much as I used to though. 21 hours ago, BFrank said: Obviously not "mine", but part of an exhibit about music at SFMOMA recently.

I believe that is an Ojas setup and exhibit... https://jelabs.blogspot.com/2023/12/ojas-listening-room-usm-in-soho-nyc.html Edited August 19 by charlieboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 It's cool to see that this has always been your passion Charlie. Great photographs. I am afraid I will never able to drop by but I do believe it all sounds great. But if it's mostly about the music it would be great to see you post a little more in the music threads. Sounds like you have a great collection and you make enough listening hours so do share your experiences here on the board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
