That may be somewhat subjective but we are looking for 200 hours. Currently I have approximely 40 hours. Gary

I started on guitar in the 60's with a Lyle and small amp. The hum didn't seem out of place. looking at video of the concert you see how small the room is. Not long after his first album was a hit, Buckley died in a car accident. This maybe a result of what they had to work with. About 5 years...

I didn't mean to give the impression that the MC1.2KW's are inadequate. I am quite impressed with their performance in the early stages of my listening. However, When pushing heavy bass content into the system with large passive speakers some excess heat is going to happen. In his demo theater...

Pete, Thanks for the assist. I wasn't looking to defend my lifestyle but yes occasionally I drive too fast, eat too much, and party too hard. Right now I feel like the guy in the old maxell tape ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiJzLfxWooo One of the longtime complaints about Logans is you...

Could have been 110 dB, based upon measurements that I have taken in the past. When we have the "Road Trip" to come here to hear these beasts I'll issue ear plugs at the door.:D Gary

Gordon, Yes I'm pushing the envelope but ML rates these speakers to 1300 watts (and the speakers performed great). I pushed the amps to 1200 watts peak (they are rated 1200 continuous). I expected everything to hold as I am within specs. I have played some drum solos already and pushed the...

I'll investigate further. Those tracks were very heavy in low bass content. You could feel the pressure but the volume, while loud, was not extreme.

I'll be switching amps some time on Saturday. I'm very interested in the sonic variations. I should have started with the Brystons. And now I realize I should have taken some spl readings for better comparison. So I'll need to take some measurements now. Gary

To shatter my windows, break my eardrums and eradicate all cockroaches from my land!!! :D YDMV (Your Desires May Vary) Gary

For sure 23 Hz is fine. (IMHO) Gary

I must have forgotten the ignores repeats part in class. During my youth I would often skip the slower second movement on symphonies and just play the 1st 3rd and 4th. Now, very often, the second movements are my favorites. Gary

Somewhere around 10:00 PM after 8 hours of some of my favorite music, I decided it was time to crank it up for some pure fun. I put on Drake's "Started From the Bottom", cranked up the volume to take in the full 1.200 KW's and I began to chant (I'm too sophisticated to rap :ROFL:) and even...

That's -3dB at 23 Hz. For a number of years I have been using the Omni Mic to analyze my sound. It's easy to use and not expensive. About a month ago it stopped working. I tried to reinstall but... I'll try again or replace as I like to verify what I think I hear.

There was a thread that appeared on AVS Forum in November of last year started by Mark Henninger. It was essentially a mini review of the Neoliths based on their first appearance in the Truth in Sound program. Here's a link...

When I have the speakers broke in and have resolved the final resting place, Mike Ware will return and spike them for me. The picture is pop artist Leroy Neimin's Roulette II. Gary

Tim, That Tile area was carpeted until about a year ago and after that I had a large area rug from the front of the speakers to beyond the first listening point. I removed the rug about a month ago. Ultimately, the rug may come back but I'm not yet sure. I was ok with the tile and didn't feel...

Yep, The Bohm runs something like 78 minutes and by comparison the Karajan '63 is just over 66 minutes. The first time I heard the Bohm version I was frustrated but as I've aged I appreciate as an occasional listen. Gary

Bernard, Nice list. I am a Richard Strauss fan and will put "Also Sprach Zarathustra" on my test list. I think it's a great choice. "1812 Overture" is already queued up and waiting its turn. I'll also look up your Spanish suggestions. I started my Classical selections with the 1963 Karajan...

Justin, I have Downward Spiral and Fragile but my favorite NIN is "Closer to God". I played "Closer" at high volume pushing the limits of the amp. It was great. When the lion roars I actually jumped. I'll get out my meter and check SPL in the future. Gary

My second song was Johnny Cash, "Hurt" The Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) work that seemed a great choice for Cash at the end of his life. As expected the SQ was great. It took me longer to get through my material than I had anticipated because I would play the song a number of times which was...
