Please reread my post. I live in the real world, not the lottery winning world. Unless you count $25 bucks as a major win.

I agree. That's why I don't bother with super high MP3 or HD tracks. At the end of the day, even HD tracks are only CD quality, but take up an enormous amount of space on a hard drive, with only a marginal, but noticable improvement over 160KBS. I find that it's not worth the space for the...

I can't think of a worse music streaming service than Youtube. Yes, newer songs will play at a higher quality (bit rate) than older videos, but Youtube got in the game far too late. And compared to any true music streaming service like Spotify, Tidal, Rhapsody, Youtube sucks as an music...

I don't think spotify has HD audio, but Tidal and I think Amazon both has HD audio. That being said, I usually download Spotify at High and not Very High. I'm sure on a high end system, you could tell the difference. But that's on a really good speakers only. But if your going in that direction...

Welcome. I'm still a newbie myself. :cool:

In an ideal world, I'd have won the lottery the day after I graduated high school. But in the real world, people have to work with what they have. I certainly wasn't going to raze my house and build a new house just so the front door wasn't an inconvenience to ideal speaker size and placement.

Actually, what smaller speakers do is drop some of the lower frequencies, but the sub-woofer can easily compensate for it. That's not saying larger speakers, that can properly do all the midrange frequencies, won't sound better overall. But since I was bounded by speaker placement, the...

The MilliaOne speakers are pretty small, but well built, and they fit above the door, where the front door swings into. They sound great though. On Bose: The fact they make a 6.5" sub-woofer pretty much say's it all. But Bose isn't just about the sound, which they sound pretty good if your not...

I talked to the car audio dealer and he suggested Triton Audio. I was wondering how good those are and if it's worth getting those. He gave me a total build with a Kenwood head unit and an amplifer, 6 speakers for $1200. That's about what I'd expect from any car audio place around the area. But...

Ya, Bose is complete junk. When I was cobbling together a home theater, mostly using Ebay, (Paradigm MilleniaOne speakers, UltraCube 10", and an Anthem reciever), it quickly came to my attention how crappy BOSE was. They're more than happy to have someone spend over $1,000 for what amounts to...

Thanks for the clarification.

Batteries provide power on demand. Each cell has a certain amount of energy. To drive a large sound system needs a massive amount of power when it first boots. Sorta like a laser printer: it uses a certain amount of continuous energy when running, but when it first turns on, it uses a massive...

Can this thread be locked? It was high on the list of recent threads. I replied to it, then realized later that this thread is OLD OLD OLD. Nobody hates a thread more than a zombie thread that somehow bubbles to the top of a forum.
