Kind offer , thank you. I'll do some research on the ones you like . I've started kicking tires a little early on this , as I've been interested in syn since Jason's chapter on it. A better DAC for my two channel system, and possibly a sub(s) as well, are ahead of home theater. I'm also...

Thanks for the help ! I found an old sheet listing 32hz , sensitivity 103 . Not sure what sub should be paired with these, but open to trying one.

Thanks for this! And... I can probably be persuaded to eventually add a sub to the system when the budget allows

I'm hoping it will be good enough for tv -movies. I had used an audio control eq back then. I would definitely use eq again.

these speakers are pretty efficient . Should be good with Kraken . I could shake the house with 4 of them connected to my old adcom mono amps. I'm over that these days. My hearing is pretty good .I'd like to keep it that way.

I've always watched tv or movies with my 2 channel gear. I don't have any home theater experience. The Kraken -Syn is probably what I will try, but I have a question. I have 5 (really 8 total) cerwin vega (15 in woofers) in storage. Are these speakers too much for the center and surround...

I still have mine ... alas , no stick shift though...

My contribution to bike pictures. My current ones are mostly dirt bikes. I rode my 1973 sort of a harley x90 (Italian) to an area bike night. and a Honda 350 that I've had since I was 16.

oops, not enough caffeine in my system yet ... You said a 500... picture is a 550.

Nice. custom exhaust, tail light,seat, handlebars,mirror , shocks.... I'm probably missing some other changes. I had a 750 that got sold to finance my convertible. might have pictures yet.

You have a pretty nice system now, but hard to see how you'd go wrong with any of those. I'm pretty attached to some of my old gear as well, but I know it probably won't keep going forever. I do like my tyrs and urd , they have improved my system a lot. A better DAC is my current "want". When...

Cat picture to level up. Here she is letting me know that farm work was over for the day. :relaxed:

growing up in Ia , local radio music choices were all pretty similar . pop chart music. and country . Then in the late seventies, an area radio station started playing "album rock" , where I first heard many of the bands mentioned here. That station was the first place I heard the entire...

I'd love to hear about the system upgrades sometime , if you don't mind sharing

the roles are reversed but similar outcomes. That's two bad jokes this morning , I'd better get back to work.

Looking forward to clicking on the order button and asking Schiit to "release a Kraken" groan.... I imagine someone has already beat me to that...

That's a memory from my visits there. Very pet friendly

This looks really interesting. Please share more details on the solar and construction methods as things progress and when your time allows.

very nice! Like it

I've appreciated the music recommendations on this thread. As I have mentioned, I'm really just getting back into the music hobby. And the discussions about which recordings are higher quality. Many new songs -artists to seek out

I know folks that live in the Kerrville - Fredericksburg area, beautiful country . I'm already setting aside $$ for a DAC... Might also have allow for a syn and kraken... my maggies used to provide sound for my TV. before that, I had 4 cerwin vegas ( their advertising used the ! :laughing:)...

the bosch washer is generic looking enough that it blended in with the other appliances

haven't bought any appliances for a while. most are about 10 years + old. bosch dishwasher has been fine. 10 year old lg front load washer has been good. matching lg heat pump dryer not so good. ge oven is probably closer to 20 years old ,1 top element replaced . matching ge fridge is on it's...

I've been looking at more expensive options since I sold the Impala, but in reality I'll probably end up with something like this, when it's time to replace the prius (still going strong after 16 years). I need more room for upcoming house and farm projects. If I buy something less expensive ...

That was a great trade. I got my farm truck for list price in Dec 22 . Sold my old truck privately the following July for about 3 thousand above their trade in offer. Truck market weakened a lot after that . I see new trucks for sale now with dealer incentives again around here.
