| anyone have any experince with audiostatic spks I've owned ES100/SW100's for several years, with never a problem. While they do beam somewhat, I think Lrsky overstates the case a bit. Had I not purchased Sound Lab U-1s, I might still be listening to them. Yes, the Ultimates are a considerable u... | |
| Have you heard the Acoustic Reality digital amps? Sean, I don't know what you mean by 'measurably better' as there was no test equipment in sight, but I accept your favorable opinion. One criticism I have is that connections are recessed into a small triangular well in the bottom of the amp, maki... | |
| Chicago Audio Society June Meeting Hi, Charlie. The June meeting will not include any equipment comparisons, as the purpose is to give the designers a chance to say a few words and answer questions, and to have an effective demonstration of what's on hand. From time to time we do c... | |

| Any Versa Dynamics TT Owners?? Anyone interested in the website for air bearing turntables and tonearms is welcome to email me privately. Due to problems the web hosting company was having several months ago, the site contents were erased, but I still have a copy which I hope t... | |
| The heat of tubes... Some good suggestions here, especially locating the amps outside the listening room. Most often that's not an option, so make sure there's adequate room around them for ventilation. Some big tube amps throw off a lot of heat - a friend had two pai... | |
| How hot do a pair of Pass Labs X600 amps run ? 600 watts converted to heat would produce just over 2000 BTU/hr. | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Perhaps some will disagree, but I found the Tenors very bass-shy and lacking some control, definition, and dynamics. Not what I had been led to expect. On the other hand, if I had to give up my Sound Labs, the Antares might be the ticket.Brian Walsh | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Albert, you should have been around on Wednesday when they had the Rockports hooked up to some high quality solid state amps. After hearing that, I found the Tenors disappointing.Brian Walsh | |
| Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout... $4.5 million? Why? Where's the turntable? I could do better for a tiny fraction of that. Oh well, at least maybe now Dan D. will buy some shoes to go with his outfit.You might try reading fewer ads. Lighten up a little, come to Chicago for a liste... | |
| Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout... I'll defer your comments about the show exhibit to Bob Crump. When did your friend hear the system?As for Fremer's review, take it as you will. I think a lot of people put more credibility in his opinions than others. Atkinson's measurements are o... | |
| Bryston 7B SST vs. Parasound Halo JC 1 shootout... Even if the Halo JC 1 is a great amp, I don't think it will be a commercial success. At $6,000, one could always buy the Pass X250, and for a thousand more, there is the CAM 350. Most people willing to spend that much money on an amp will opt for ... | |
| If i had the money..... For those of you who've been reading my comments on other sites in recent months about the JC 1s, you may be interested that I put my money where my mouth is and bought them (from Bob). As if that wasn't enough, I decided to become a dealer and se... | |
