| Obscure companies making excellent speakers? Excellent lists, although I am surprised nobody mentioned Zu unless I missed it. :)However, IMHO the list is beginning to sound like Lake Wobegon where every child is above average. It would be good to know if a speaker stands out even among these... | |
| I Ordered a Pair of SP Tech Speakers Agear: When you say "we had been planning a speaker symposium.." who is we? Sounds like a great idea anyway and I would be most interested in any event in the Chicago region. | |
| Harbeth M30 vs. Super HL5 Kensetsu: Congratulations on a satisfying end to your search. Harbeth is a great speaker and IMHO the true inheritor of the old BBC tradition once exemplified by Spendor and Rogers as well. BTW, may I borrow your kids for a couple of hours when I ... | |
| Harbeth M30 vs. Super HL5 Jaybo: if you're putting these in a big room, the hl5 is the strongest overall. with a sub, or nearfield, the m30.I realize that there will always be some play in numbers, but I am curious as to where does a room start getting too big for M30 and ... | |
| Need Speakers at least 4 feet high I know many great speakers taller than 4' but none is designed to be placed behind a chair: as a result, some drivers would still be below 4' and thus hidden behind the chair. I assume you want something in which no driver except perhaps the woofe... | |
| Harbeth M30 - Not that you necessarily need an upgrade, but I have to say that the next logical upgrade would be M40. | |
| Tyler Acoustics Comparisons Danet2: I would be most interested in to see if anyone posts comparisons you ask for but I am not optimistic. Ever since much of high-end audio moved out of dealer showrooms, it has become almost impossible to make meaningful comparisons among com... | |
| Tyler/Salk sensible alternatives to Gallos? Jagiii : Do your speakers have a brand name, model number? Wrb siteor reviews? Many people here will be curious and such basic info is most appreciated. | |
| Quad ESL 57 are there better speakers out there?? Audiojoy4: What is the next best step stack them in pairs?Yes that is a popular thing to do. As a huge fan of quads, I am happy you have found your nirvana with them. You may enjoy visitng this site: http://www.go.to/mtaudio, then click Quad ESL.S... | |
| Replacing Thiel 2.2's, Need Monitor Suggestions A question for OP: Why do you want monitors? With their stands, they don't take up any less floor space than floorstanders. It seems to me that you are really looking for slim good-looking floorstanders that can be placed close to the back wall.No... | |
| Report from Rocky Mountain AudioFest Mdhoover: Rao Audio just launched their company on the first day of the show. VERY nice sounding room in my opinion, for what it's worth. What did other attendees think of Rao Audio? Was anyone else as impressed as I was with their room?Did you ta... | |
| RMAF: My favorites, so-so's, and disappointments Jig: The 1801's that Dave had at the show were indeed floorstanders. I believe it is a $200 upcharge and IMO the way to go.The floorstanding version is offered at http://www.salksound.com/1801.shtml.Surprisingly I haven't noticed the frequency res... | |
| RMAF: My favorites, so-so's, and disappointments Ellis Audio 1801 ($1500-2200pr) These diminutive floorstanders were simply superb. Dave Ellis has managed to bring forth the best sound I have ever heard coming out of the Seas magnesium drivers. The sound while extremely detailed, is at the same ... | |
| Crossover-less Speakers Macrojack, You are being unreasonable, come across as having several big chips on your shoulders, and to top it off you are shutting yourself to one of the best self-evaluation tools ever invented: honest feedback from others, how you appear to th... | |
| Stolen SoundLabs - just in case... I can think of only three explanations:(1) The thieves don't like crossovers and being firmly in the FRD camp instead, were disgusted when they didn't see Zu inside.(2) There were no thieves. You made up the whole story to explain to your good wif... |
