[thechat] Calling All Audiophiles

[Luther, Ron]

Hi Ken,

Bummer.  Limited choice sucks!  I used to live in an area that
had a LOT of high end audio shops - you could find anything you
were interested in hearing ... Magnaplanars, ribbons, class "a"
amps ... anything! It was cool - expensive - but cool.

On a reasonable budget might I suggest outputting to a small
amp feeding a pair of AR bookshelf speakers?  {Or maybe Boston
Acoustic if you don't like Acoustic Research?}

HTH,

RonL.
(Former audio junkie who's bummed because there seem to be NO
high end camera shops in Houston. [Hell, even in Akron Ohio you
could walk into a brick and mortar and walk out with Leica, Linhof,
Hassleblad, or even Horseman! ... if you had that much cash.  ;-)
In Houston I doubt you can even find film in a cooler!])

And my local hi-fi dealer BLOWS. "Oh, you want quality? Bose is the way
to go." I'm not saying Bose is bad, I'm just saying that Bose is their
answer to everything... "Pro audio" my ass.
