| Whats the BEST audio site : WWW.META-GIZMO.COM Whether you agree with his conclusions or not, reading the articals on Gizmo's site is always funny, entertaning and provacative. But most of all, they communicate a love for what the real goal of all this should be IMHO, to inc... | |
| neutrality vs. realism Seems to me either goal is simply unreachable. And that most systems can even approach either goal in one or two areas. So we're down to "picking our poison", deciding for ourselves what is most important to the individual. A small system can do a... | |
| Nuetrality be Damned... A lot of what passes these days as "neutral" is actually mean 'n lean IMHO...I have never left a concert that sounded like "neutral" speakers...Try:Spendors (any of the Classic Series esp 2/3, 1/2, SP100)Vandersteen (esp 3A) Solid citizen.Pro Ac (... | |
| Thiel 1.6 vs Proac 1.5 Both are good but ProAc has that certain undefinable (but definately hearable) "magic"...like the Thiel, love the ProAc. | |
| which dynamic speaker has quads fab mid presence Try Spendor SP1/2 or S3/5 if you don't need as much bass. | |
| 2A3 amp and Spendors? Didn't think you were knocking the Spendors, Clueless. And a 2A3 would not be MY first choice generally for an amp for the Spendors. But that's what Wda specifically asked about. The numbers say 88db/eff. plus 3db (pair of speakers) minus a little... | |
| Why is the turnover on maggies 1.6QR so much? A friend of mine owns a store that sells Maggies...1) Maggies tend to be purchased by "Audiophiles", most of them don't keep anything too long, there is always the allure of something new and different. 2) Many people buy 'em and like them and dec... | |
| 2A3 amp and Spendors? I have the Spendors (think they are great). I have not tried with 2A3, but have used 300B SE. It was sufficient about 95% of the time in my medium sized room, backing off the gain and listening a little quieter than I would have liked (I listen no... | |
| Which SET amp to buy? IMHO, do NOT buy your amp till you have settled on speakers. There is a "Laws of Physics" relationship between speaker efficiency, cabinet size and bass response, and also an issue of room size and your prefered listening levels. An efficient spea... | |
| Cheap Stuff That Keeps Up? A few from the bag of tricks...1) Musical Fidelity A1...20w hotter than he!! (runs class A) but schweeet! $200 to $300 used.2) Most old Spendors, esp. BC1 (400-600bux) SP1 (around 500bux) Can't play real loud but tonally exquisite, nice.3) Harmon ... | |
| What is the name of your system. I haven't named mine, but I used to call a buddies system "Sea Cliff West" (he lived in Jersey)...Kevin | |
| Speakers for the party system Horns ONLY, Klipsh La Scalas, Altec A7 or Valencias. LOUD, and good! | |
| As-Is, What does it mean? It could mean either of two things to the seller:1) I know it works now, but if you break it, it fails, it doesn't perform as well as you had hoped or you just decide you don't want it, I dont want to hear about it after the sale.2) I know it has ... | |
| Acoustat servo amps ?? If you want to hear Accoustats at their best, the servo amps are the way. One of the best stat systems I have heard over the years was a pair of Accoustat 2+2's with servos. Unfortunately, the servos are hard to find and expensive when you do find... |
