I do like to fish and I thought this would be a screen name available that I wouldn't forget.
I have listened to several different brands recently. Maggies, theil, paradigm, martin logan, b&w. Not sure of all the models.
I liked or disliked diffferent thing about each of them
I liked the paradigm 100 ($2800) the best so far. I'll have to go for another listen.
Although the Martin Logans ($5000) mids and highs were very natural sounding.
After listening to other speakers I came home played same cd in my set up and can really hear a difference. My hpm's are too shrill? The mid range seems to be too high pitched. Piano, sax, all too high on the register.
Becomes annoying after awhile.
I did find a Adcom 555 amp, pre, tuner,cd. for cheap. So I now have this set up with my hpm's.
I also found midrange on my old records sounds better than cd. but miss some of the highs and bass.
Besides not knowing what to upgrade there's always the $ factor. 2 in college $4k /mo puts a pretty good dent in the funds, for something my wife thinks is a waste. As I don't listen as often as I would like I have to partially agree.
