On vacation, Going shopping

[LeRoy]

Well, at least you're getting the curiosity satisfied while out touring the countryside. I have yet to hear a CM series speaker from B&W that has impressed. So, what else do you have on your must listen to list?

What happened to Hanson Audio, that seemed like a very promising shop. They didn't have any Revel's or PMC's to listen to at Genesis Audio?

I did not see any Revel or PMC speakers. They had Paradigm and Martin Logan but he kept on the Paradigm and never showed me even the Motion speakers. We had some hard rains today and it was tough going 40 minutes to Columbus so I have not made the trip to Dayton over 2 hours away. Two more days to make the trip. Of course what I heard today is making my speakers sound better.

That's funny cause Genesis's website says they sell Revel and PMC. I know how Mr. P feels about his Revel's. Looks like they need to work on a new web page. Well hopefully Hanson will have something to get your toes tapping. The weather has been terrible, it rained buckets this afternoon. I was out in it shopping for a new cell phone.

Genesis was the kind of shop where they were not interested in selling a measly pair of speakers and they have no stock. If I wanted them they would have had to order them. This is part of the reason people order on-line with a return policy.

Oh and I have read about the new Magneplanar MMG Super. Maybe I need screens.

As much as I complain about none of my speakers being good at holding my interest long term there are traits about all of them I like. I have reached the realization that if I truly want something better I need to set my budget higher. I do not think a speaker in the $2,000 range will truly surpass what I already own. Of course only hearing two speakers yesterday at the $1,500 price range I knew they would be different but my fear is to buy another pair of speakers that will just be rotated in the mix.

I really want to hear the Nola Boxer but no dealers in Ohio. Hanson has many interesting speaker brands like Dynaudio that I have always wanted to hear.

When I arrived home I had to relisten to my speakers. I brought out the RS6's which have sounded thin in the past. Tonight I am listening to them single wired with Ultralink stranded cables. They have regained some warmth and oddly deeper bass. Whenever I single wire the RS6's I use the upper speaker binding posts. The upper binding posts takes care of the upper driver and tweeter and the links only transmit signal to the lower bass driver.

I want something better than different so as I shop I am checking what my speakers are capable of doing.
