| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Aggielaw: ...the Daedelus (of which I'd never heard before your post.) I erred in spelling---the correct spelling is DAEDALUS---which will matter if you search A'gon. I suggest reading these threads to begin withDaedalus DA-1Daedalus DA-1: How Goo... | |
| help me build a system for $1200 I am a medical student, and as such, already have tons of debt to begin with.It won't make any difference then to add a little more. :-) Just kidding. I would suggest you keep your cd player and receiver. Then buy the best speakers you can afford.... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Anybody compared Adagios with other speakers people gush over at A'gon: Zu, Tyler, Salk, Daedelus, etc.?There aso many speakers that are supposed to be "a steal at their price" or "the best up to 2-3 times the price" that some accumulation of A/B ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? Aggielaw: I currently own nOrh mini 9.0's with the Murphy-designed optimal crossover, hand-build with the best components available by Jim Salk.Now I am confused. Does salk make a line called nOrh? I went to salksound.com and could find no mention... | |
| Zu on Zu Sean:It was good to read your post. Your company is a creative one, and I wish it the best. There is no hostility to Zu here. Basically only two issues: (1) A few fans of Zu are extreme in their advocacy and don't allow others the normal breathing... | |
| Zu on Zu Macrojack: Speaking of Zu......This might be of interest to some of you......http://www.6moons.com/industryfeatures/rave/rave.htmlInteresting read. Excerpts from Sean: "We thought we would have no problem pulling 500+ locals...and force HiFi to co... | |
| Your best picks for 2006 Best Speakers under 4K. 213cobra: I think Bartkfan is in Louisiana, not close enough. But there must be some Zu owners in his area...It would be great if local audiophiles could get together for A/B comparisons and share their results with the community. Since the demise... | |
| Speakers for Audiolab 8000S It is a good amp. I am not aware of any serious potential for mismatch. As long as your speakers don't need more than 60 w/ch it should work well.At your budget of 1K, at any budget really, you should look at used speakers here at A'gon. If you bu... | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? Bartokfan: I am sorry you had to change your plans. I also hope we will get others to post their comparisons. Another thought, there must be somebody who owns Tylers near you and may be you two could together for some comparative listeing. I wonde... | |
| LSA speakers? Anacrusis: Based on what else you heard, would you be able to compare them against other under-$3000 speakers well regarded in this forum from the likes of Tyler, Zu, Salk, Green Mountain, and (speking of British) Harbeth, etc? | |
| Is polk Lsi15 too big for my 20x13x8 room? Besides Tylers suggested above, also consider Salk Veraicty HT3 (or QW) and Zu Druids. All 3 companies have a dedicated following. | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Dodgealum: It figures after boasting that I've heard nearly everything under the sun below $15K Aktchi asks about two that I haven't--the Zu and the Tyler.Indeed, it is kind of ironic. I haven't heard them either. However, Zu has a small group of ... | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? Bartokfan: I hope you have the most enjoyable visit and whatever the audition results, please post them. You know, such opportunities don't come everyday, who knows when or even if you will do this again, so take the trouble and bring your Thors a... | |
| Upgrade from Spendor BC-1: need ideas Hbarrel: Thanks. I have heard of Shahinian but never heard them. It may be irrational, or call it Bose effect, but I have tended to shy away from speakers that emphasize "reflected" or "omnidirectional" features. Still, if an opportunity came alon... | |
| Full range speakers with small footprint? Bartokfan: Did you ever get a chance to compare Tylers with your kit-built Thor? Assuming them to be of comparable quality, how much do we end up paying Ty for building the speaker? |
