    Empire Ears - Discussion & Impressions (Formerly EarWerkz)

    A driver in my Bravado MK2s appears to have failed (not sure why). Contacted EE and there will be a charge to fix since they were purchased in 2021. There was no mention of lifetime driver flex coverage. Not sure how one would even prove that the failure was due to this (if it was?). Anyway, I...

    AV Receiver Bluetooth Question

    Thanks. What if I ran Spotify as an app on my TV? That would cut out the Bluetooth.

    AV Receiver Bluetooth Question

    Hello. This isn’t a HP question but Headfiers are quite knowledgeable so I’m throwing this out. Currently using a Denon AVR-788 (circa 2009) in a 5.2 setup for living room music and games. Music source is primarily a smartphone (Spotify) with Bluetooth to an HDTV with an optical cable out to...

    Infinity Crescendo 3008 Tower Speakers for $400 - Deal or No Deal?

    Thanks. I saw some refoam discussions about that speaker line on another forum. I think it’s mainly due to age. Older Bose speakers have the same issue.

    Infinity Crescendo 3008 Tower Speakers for $400 - Deal or No Deal?

    Apparently, these went for around $2400/pair back in 1996. I can get them locally for $400/pair. They look very nice and the owner says they've recently been re-foamed. Little apprehensive about getting speakers this old (despite the foam job). Recommendations?

    Would speakers made in 2000 be a safe buy in 2022?

    Thanks (and @PurpleAngel). Ended up backing out due to the built in amp (read some comments about it being prone to going out). The things are also quite heavy and I don't have a good back LOL. And the age is always a concern. Think I'm going to stick with the Sony's. Plan to add a sub and...

    Would speakers made in 2000 be a safe buy in 2022?

    Have an opportunity to get a set of Cambridge Soundworks T300 (manufactured in 2000) tower speakers for $350. They look like they have been taken care of and sound great. I'm a little concerned about age. Read online where internal foam around the cones can deteriorate significantly in 20...

    Are these an enjoyable listen or are they more neutral/reference?

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    V shaped signature in a good way. Very musical with good detail retrieval. Not analytical by any means. Just a very enjoyable set to listen to with deep bass and bass slam. 799 pounds could be fair depending on what you want. I’ve seen used sets go for much less though (~$500) so don’t expect...

    Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

    Yes, I’ve seen several comments stating that. Unfortunately is also quite a lot of $$$.

    My basshead endgame is the E-mu Teaks (Ebony). Wish I had gotten them when they first came out and called it quits.
