| The best speaker you ever heard? transaudio has a very good point. Bad equipment matching, bad room acoustics can make any good sounding loudspeaker bad irregardless of price. Acoustics in a room is very important, as important as the speaker design itself. All well designed loud... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have two, my acoustat spectra 33 stored and my currently used and continuously modifying ESS heil 1D. I have found the ESS as the volkswagon of loudspeakers. You can modify so many parts to it as long as you keep at least the main drivers. Addin... | |
| ESS and Heil air-motion tranformer - any thoughts? I just modified my ESS HEIL 1D and it is 3 times better then the original and is by far the best and most liveliest loudspeaker I have encountered among all loudspeakers I own and have heard and unfortunately I haven't heard many other fine system... | |

| ESS AMT 1D: sell for parts or attempt to restore? simple fix. you can get the surround replacements/repair kit at partsexpress or better yet for $150 each, you can get the NEWER ESS AMT woofers that's been redesigned at partsexpress. I just bought a pair and haven't received it yet although my or... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I am fortunate to have many types of well designed loudspeakers, so I can pretty much choose. Of all the speakers I collect, I have OHM acoustics the most. In fact I own a walsh 2xo, 4xo, pro 200 sound cylner and my best, ohm walsh 300 mk 2 rebuil... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? I absolutely agree with MRTENNIS being a speaker collector. I've tried piezo electric,domes, waveguides, horns etc. but the ribbons, planars and electrostats which I also own are much cleaner than other types of transducers. I hope people get a ch... | |
| Ohm Walsh 2000 vs MMG vs Vandersteen 2ce Sig? like mapman, I am an OHM fan, but I am a MAGGIE fan too. I just read about the vandersteen's and would like to own one since I am a speaker fanatic. My opinion is that all three have their strengths and weaknesses but it would be a HARD choice if ... | |
| Cassette Deck?? besides nakamichi and revox decks since they are the high end among decks, you might want to try to get a hold of a TASCAM 122 MK 2 or similar deck. It's a pro deck. It's a great sounding and recording deck. You can adjust pitch like you would a t... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Has anyone heard the new CHEAPO modified sony SB 300 that dakiom modified (known for the feedback stabilizers)? It just came out. Though what they did with the INTERIOR seem to be an achievement. They claim it's the best speaker out there and chal... | |
| Personal amp evolution I started out with a technics integrated back in 1980, when I was stationed in okinawa japan, got a hold of sansui AUD-11 integrated which is still revered today and a yamaha M-80 amp, another sought after vintage. Today, I have a combination of c... | |

| What is Musicality? I think for most audio enthusiast, musicality is LOVING what you hear without getting tired or fatigued by it where it moves you with emotion. Maybe I should attach a SHIATSU massager on my audio system, I just might find MUSICALITY out of that! | |
| Dakiom for Tube Amps? it's not recommended by dakiom,unless it's a hybrid. A SS class D and pure tubes from what they say will not make much effect, but there's always exception to the rule. In my case, I used dakiom stablizers on both my PAXHTON integrated tube amp an... | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? I agree with many of the fellow members and their various opinions. For the most part is more like the amount of investment you spend on any given component. when I mentioned one of my loudspeakers costing $5500 retail like my ohm walsh or any of ... |
