| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Oh well. Two years ago I sold the speakers amp and preamp I posted about on 6/3/06. For the last two plus years I've had a BAT amp and preamp with Hansen Prince speakers. I'm not sure about the BAT gear, but the Hansen's were bought with long term... | |
| BAT SS amps VS Ayre MX-R Thank you to everyone for some really great responses. Because I'm looking to get off the upgrade path there are a lot of variables to consider. Between my VK-52SE and the Modwright Transporter I have a fair amount of tubes already. While I have s... | |
| Life after DarTZeel I owned the darTZeel amp and preamp combo. I've since sold them both and moved on. They are a very emotion provoking combo. Most people who own the darTs do so on either Von Schweikert or Evolution Acoustics speakers. This is because JTinn the USA... | |
| Wilson Sophia 2's on Marantz Reference Dave_b,I have owned the Hansen Prince speakers for just over a year now and to my ears they very well may be the best sounding speakers I've ever heard. One cannot judge a speaker solely based on the number of drivers or the size of the cabinet. I... | |
| Playback designs followup? Tvad, I'm having more fun with the Modwright Truth Transporter then I've had with any piece of audio equipment I've bought in a long time. Fun is why I went into this hobby to begin with. Andy was referred to me by Frank Huang formerly of Audio Ou... | |
| Playback designs followup? Grr6001,I couldn't agree with you more. My room is 15 X 21. I have a carpeted floor and a few sound panels situated to reduce first reflection points. I sold my darTZeel amp and preamp in favor of a BAT VK52SE preamp and VK 250SE power amp. Speaki... | |
| Playback designs followup? Dave - Before you jump to any conclusions reread my post from 2/13/09. I sold the Marantz in favor of the Modwright Transporter. I have no axe to grind. I simply have a different opinion than you. I'm also not at all defensive about any of my equi... | |
| Playback designs followup? Not only is Jonathan a dealer, he is the manufacturer of Playback Designs, Evolution Acoustics, and the NA distributor of darTZeel. I've owned and sold both darTZeel equipment and Evolution Acoustics speakers. I guess that is why I'm currently on ... | |
| Playback designs followup? "About half the owners immediately start thinking of modifying their units. That's never a topic about the PD."Dave is there a company that modifies the PD? How many people worldwide own a PD cd player? In fact, how many people outside of Audiogon... | |
| Playback designs followup? I know this is going in another direction, but I heard the Playback Design and It wasn't my cup of tea. At the time I had a Marantz SA7 and greatly preferred the sound. Since then I've given up my CD player in favor of a Modwright Truth Transporte... | |
| Best all around speakers I own Hansen Prince speakers. They are the best speakers I've heard in my room or any other. They play everything from rock, jazz, female vocals (my favorite), classical, and country. They are so natural! Never bright or analytical, but highly det... | |
| Any new up & coming high end speaker lines? Hansen Audio! The Prince V2. I haven't seen them used yet, but they are an incredible speaker. They have a sense of refinement I've not experienced in any of my previous speakers. I sold my Evolution Acoustics MM2's to buy them. I haven't experien... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Hansen Audio Prince V2. Simply stunning! | |
| Revel Ultima Studio 2 vs B&W N802D I heard the new Revel Studio's and the Salon's. Both had very poor imaging. I didn't like them at all. I heard both of them in different stores with different electronics. The result was the same. I couldn't believe it at first after all the good ... | |
| Theta Up-grade Advice I tried the Blacksand statement power cord. I found it moved all the energy to the highs. In doing so gave a false sense of transparency. I would try a different power cord that gives a more balanced natural sound. I've had good results with the V... |
