Started listening again tonight when I woke up and decided that since they sound so good with the Anthem's 80w maybe I should incorporate the Rotel back into the system. Major chore!!! Necessitated the tearing down and reconnection of the complete rack with the power conditioner ended up on the floor under it all due to lack of space - well it's now 7 am and everything is back up and working, the Synchrony's sound better than ever, even mirroring the soundstage I had with the Studio 60's The Synchrony's seem to be a good match up with the Studio CC and ADP 350s so I think they will be staying in the system. Only one thing left to do, dig out my homemade bi-amp cables and reconfigure them to bi-wire - that will be later in the day or evening, I just want to listen to some tunes for now.

Oh, and I dug up my camera finally and it's sitting here on my coffee table but damned if I can find the battery for it. You know when you put something away and tell yourself you'll remember where you put it - well I don't remember However it may possibly be that damned cat getting into everything that found it...

Sounds like you have found a pair of winners in those PSB Synchrony 2B's! Gotta love it when a plan works out! Looking forward to those pics once your cat spews out those missing batteries!

What tunes are you gonna rock to?

The battery is proprietary

I'm keeping in mild for now, boarder is still asleep even with the volume at -50 it sounds too loud, gotta love that kind of clarity. Have been listening to some Chris Botti, Leonard Cohen, John Legend currently listening to Eva Cassidy will probably get into some Los Lonely Boys, Santana and Bonamassa later when he gets up.

Looks like a great day for a BBQ, picked up some steaks and salads a few minutes ago now have to resist until later this aft...

The PSB Synchrony 2B's are revealing flaws, probably due to the age, in my Studio CC, I think I'm going to have to update the center channel as well. This is going to put a strain on my credit card though as the matching center is $1500, the dealer's sale is still on and I can grab one for $599. Just fired off an email to him hopefully he can keep the sale price for me til mid February...

The dealer has agreed to hold the center channel at the sale price, which is great because there is no way, short of winning the lotterry, that I would pay $1500 for a center channel speaker.

Since I am generally up all night on the weekends and can't take full advantage of my system because my boarder is sleeping during these times, I thought it was time to pick up an inexpensive set of headphones, After reading a multitude of reviews on this and other sites I settled on the Sennheiser HD280, they should be arriving tomorrow. I haven't owned a pair of headphones in a long time and my expectations for these is pretty high. I doubt I will use them much for music but will for gaming and movie watching during the wee hours of the night...

I'm looking forward to your review but do you have anything to compare them to ?

Good morning Russ, I haven't owned any headphones in a long long time, skipped over the walkman era, never owned an MP3 player and don't listen to music on my phone - so nope nothing to compare them to - purchased strictly based on the mass volume of positive reviews...

Nice. I got some Audio Technica ATH-M50 for when the wife is sleeping, but the cord isn't long enough. Had some Sennheiser noise canceling years ago had to take them back, something was wrong and every time I turned my head I got static. Then traded in for some Sony MDR-V700, we're great and comfy.

You know an audiophile like Russ got to have some Grado Wood Headphones!

During the portable era I've used several type of headphones (primarily Sennheiser ear-buds) but I really enjoyed my time spent with the Koss Porta-pro's.I had also been fond of their (Koss) home cans and had several pairs in the 70's and 80's. Recently I've been looking at the Grado line of cans and they have several pair under the $100 mark. The only thing with the headphones I prefer is that they're open air type, meaning you can still hear what's going on around you which to me is a big safety concern .

I heard some, think Sr60 or 80. I liked them enough, genuine sound, but I prefer closed. Listen on trains and planes mostly.

I never use them walking. My commute to work isn't even long enough for most songs.

Yeah ......... I know and it makes me sick

[lucv13]

The last pair I had were noise cancelling don't remember what make - didn't like them much and they fell apart after a few months. Decided on the closed set because they will be only used at home. Heard some good things about the ATH-M50 and did consider them but got the Senns on sale...
