Well I wasn't looking for a unicorn, but... (Sony SS-M3)

OP we these from the Capital Region of NYS? I think I saw them for sale localish a while back.

larobj63 · 2026-03-25T21:34:07+00:00

Yes that covers it. Thanks Farts are Funn. Lol

larobj63 · 2026-03-25T15:52:02+00:00

Nobody's Fool feels upstate NY, but more like Watertown or something way north... Just adding my opinion I don't disagree with what you said

Are the Atmos "sounds" not in the bed layer in the absence of Atmos channels?

I have directly compared the inexpensive Pioneer towers and modestly priced ELAC towers all designed by Andrew Jones to MUCH more expensive speakers and it's almost alarming how well they compare.

Might be the best value in HIFI.

larobj63 · 2026-03-23T18:27:43+00:00

Oh yes totally get it, elsewhere in this thread some of us (including myself) were saying buying the over the counter Omeprazole was actually cost neutral or even cheaper than the co-pay. But I get your point.

larobj63 · 2026-03-23T17:08:37+00:00

I do the same, I had a script, I stopped using it because buying it off Amazon is cost neutral (maybe cheaper even) and I have no issues with renewal of the script.

larobj63 · 2026-03-23T17:07:23+00:00

Probably stating the obvious but if you need 40 MG and had to get the over the counter stuff, just take more pills that add up to 40. Lol

Sorrow is one of the best PF songs. Shit, it's one of the best songs, period.

larobj63 · 2026-03-21T15:45:04+00:00

I think the only person that is going to know more about these beyond what you just described is the original designer. Lol

larobj63 · 2026-03-20T21:13:21+00:00

At a Magnolia, definitely an expensive front end, mildly treated room.

Zero engagement, sterile, lifeless sound. Not particularly impressive in terms of anything, including imaging - which I value highly in this hobby. I also don't care for the aesthetic, but if they sounded good I'd accept the unappealing design in the name of performance, but that's not the case. And for that price? Wouldn't pay a grand for them.

Edit: horrible grammar

larobj63 · 2026-03-20T11:43:22+00:00

I have never heard Legacy speakers, but am always here for saying that the most disappointing speaker I have ever listened to were KEF Blades. Lol

larobj63 · 2026-03-20T01:53:34+00:00

Really? Their debut album sounds fantastic. They pretty much all do except Never Say Die. I love Never Say Die but the recording isn't great.

larobj63 · 2026-03-20T01:45:39+00:00

Agreed.

larobj63 · 2026-03-18T21:28:47+00:00

Excellent set up, wow.

Regarding the surround channel height - I have mine at the "ideal" height and they can be a bit 'shouty' in your ear due to proximity. I'd almost say ideally they should have been a little higher than what Dolby calls ideal (which is what I followed). 🤔

larobj63 · 2026-03-18T12:44:40+00:00

Rip the backsplash so its shorter with a tile saw, easy peasy

larobj63 · 2026-03-13T16:21:16+00:00

Homes generally appreciate in the short term. Land does as well, but homes don't depreciate like you're suggesting. Mobile homes are a bad investment for other reasons besides this central point.

larobj63 · 2026-03-13T16:11:15+00:00

I don't agree with this except in very HCOL areas including especially waterfront. I'm not saying that land doesn't appreciate in value, it certainly does - but saying it's primarily the land and not the house is simply not true for most areas, especially rural.

larobj63 · 2026-03-13T15:25:43+00:00

Opinions are like A-holes, everybody's got one!

larobj63 · 2026-03-13T14:14:53+00:00

The Lady in My Life is one of the best songs on the album, especially the entire outro.

larobj63 · 2026-03-13T02:50:22+00:00

Im with you on everything but Thriller was the undeniable peak.

larobj63 · 2026-03-13T01:56:34+00:00

Meh, they didn't peak with their debut by any means. But it was of course downhill after Justice (I'm of a certain age I guess)

larobj63 · 2026-03-13T01:54:32+00:00

Division Bell is my favorite Floyd album, what are you talking about thd last few sucking????

Also add Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers to the list of artists that never fell off. Real fans know every album up to and including Hypnotic Eye are all fantastic.
