I am trying to decide between the THR10 and the THR10x. I play mostly late-80s type stuff, with some classic rock thrown in. Which would be better?

Hey Patrick. I have the THR5, which has the same sounds as the 10 but a few less features. I play a lot of classic rock and late 80's stuff too and I think the tones are great. I haven't tried the THR10x but from what I read it's geared more towards the metal crowd. For classic rock tones, I find the THR5's and 10's have more than enough gain. I was really impressed with how responsive it is to pinch harmonics and feedback. Get some really cool early ZZ Top and even GNR tones on it. The effects are awesome too. The tremelo and flange are pretty authentic. If you're not really bothered about saving patches or having an extra control for aux-in volume, you can save even more bucks and get the THR5. My ONLY complaint is with the whole range, and it's a very small complaint... the power switch is actually plastic. Mine's snapped off after I clipped it with my headstock. Still works though. Anyway, hope that helps. These things definitely make practice more convenient without sacrificing tone.

I can speak for the Ibanez Talman TCM50 and say it's perfect as far as I'm concerned, especially considering the money saved! Depth and width are perfect... see my review for more detail.

I called Energy support to get opinion on which one is better. In support person's opinion, Take Classic is little better as the speakers are little larger and fill the room (with sound) little better.

Not sure I understand the question, but here is a data point or two. The 70s Fender is a good rock/metal guitar as far as I am concerned. It is not the best blues guitar. For getting the blues sound I would go with the '54 or '57 Fender. I like combining those two with a Vox or Fender Mustang. Classic series 70s is the only Fender Stratocaster with that particular "look" (wood grain body and maple neck)

Hah! I'm also a tried-and-true PMX70 fan, wanted to upgrade, tried the PMX680, found them to be terrible, went with a PMX80, they broke after a handful of uses... now rebuying assuming I just got a bad set.I feel the PMX80 is a little more heavy-duty and better-sounding, but I've not done a side-by-side.

M100 is the latest but you cant find any short of difference. LP is best if you are not audiophile.

For me, someone who is not tech minded or into complicated things, the 707 is fine. It's a good value if you just want to play music, and don't care if it's in alphabetical order. Does not have advanced features, so if you're looking for more in a player, this may not be for you.

In the Bridgestone line, I'd suggest the e5. I know you're keen to play Bridgestones, but I'd also suggest you try the Wilson Duo or Zip. The Zip is phenomenal, and quite inexpensive. Good luck!

I, too, had to choose between the RC Micro and the Classic. I worried the the RC Micro's were too small to provide a full sound. I ended up choosing the RC MIcro's. Here's why: 1. I scoured the different audio forums to get the opinion of people who knew more than me. In the AVS forum (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1153061), I found a posting by a member who posted frequently and who seemed to be highly respected by other forum members. This is what he wrote, "RC-Micro are smaller, with higher build quality and better drivers (than the Classic). They will have a more "refined" sound. The sub is a little better also. Whether it is "worth it" is strictly up to you and how critical you are in your bedroom listening. If you can afford the extra and are seeking the maximum sound quality from the smallest possible package, the RC-Micro will be great. If you aren't super critical and will only be doing casual, moderate volume listening, the Take Classic will probably be fine." 2. I called the tech help at Energy Speakers (they're very helpful, by the way). I told them I could buy the Classic or the RC Micro for the same price. Their tech guy said absolutely take the RC Micro's. 3. They sound better, they look better. I'm really happy with the RC Micro's. Hope that helps!

It really depends on the receiver you're using. If you're pushing over 100 watts per channel then go with the 20's, if not go with the 10's. I have not heard the 20's but can't imagine they aren't up to par. I went with the 10's and really like the wide profile on the wall.

I have the e10 with my M50's are enhanced a good bit with it. You will notice the difference in music, mostly increasing the the lows and a little of the highs. Gaming isnt much difference unless it is a game with explosions, which will cause the "booms" to blow you away :) Overall, yes, the M50's will sound better on the e10, just not as big of a difference as the more expensive hphones.

Hifonics all the way. I have owned both. I hade the MRX-M110 on two JL audio w3 13.5s and then got the Hifonics when I got my 2 type r 12s. The hifonics + type r's blow my old setup out of the water. Hope this helps-Marcus

First of all I love the 75T, is this for music or home theater? If this is for home theater the TSI300 would be fine but If for both music and home theater i would purchase the 75T. Hope this helps. Remember the center speaker is one of the most important speakers for your home theater system never skimp.

Thanks for the tip.I actually ended up getting the AP-220 for $650, Guitar Center had a $150 off coupon. That was less than Amazon has ever sold it so I jumped on it.$500 is a great price for the PX-130 with all the extras though... all you'd need is a stool, and maybe a cover for the keyboard to keep dust off when not playing.

definitely this one - the Orange only has a 10" speaker. I personally refuse to play guitar thru anything but a 12" speaker(at least a 1x12, but a 2x12 or 4x12 is obviously much better!).

i just heard m50 once, i like the a900x more but it depends on what kind of music u listen, the m50 are just increidible for electronic music and bassy things, the a900x are better for more subtle music, his domain are the mids and a really open space, i love them for jazz, academic classic and soul, funky etc...

The Grado's are a bit more flat and maybe a bit treble-heavy and bass-lite. The PX100s are a bit more bassy and can't get ultra-highs. It all prefers really on what you listen to. The PX100s are best for hip-hop, dance, pop, or if you strictly want something comfortable. The SR60s are best for rock, classical, more upbeat techno, and a bit less comfortable. It's all based on taste.
