My two favorite quotes from Ike Eisenson (Audio Directions/Dimensions)

General Asylum

General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Earlier discussion on dealer recommendations reminded me of wisdom offered by Ike back in the late 70s.
"How would you like to hear the second best speaker made? Nearly everyone has a different favorite, but most agree the second best speaker is the Rogers LS3/5a."
"There are only two component specifications that are important. What are the dimensions so you'll know if it fits on your shelf. And how much does it weigh so you'll know if the shelf is strong enough to hold it."
And while many might not agree with me, I believe a carefully selected and preserved/reconditioned system from that era could stand up to most of the best of today.
