| Calix speakers - anyone heard them? Here is what we wrote about them at the Stereophile show in S.F. They have a lot of potential and the desired listening position is in the far field.http://db.AudioAsylum.com/cgi/m.pl?forum=general&n=275099&highlight=calix&r=&sessi... | |
| Waves, and a perfect sleep We have a few that we use mostly for breakin of equipment 24x7 - and that we sleep to as well, especially useful on the road in noisy hotels. No MuzaK. They are:Environments 1: Psychologically Ultimate Seashorehttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed I agree with Albert. Anyway, I prefer the center channel I got now, thank you very much...:-)-Mike. | |
| Pink Floyd FINALLY Releases Live At Pompeii I just hope it sounds better than the bootleg LP version I picked up 20 years ago. The music is fantastic, the pressing quality.... wellllllll... I have heard worse.Enjoy!Mike. | |
| PS Audio Power Pant vs Shunyata Hydra conditioner Anybody done a remodel lately?Lexus isn't expensive... Audio isn't expensive. Kitchen cabinets! THOSE are expensive, overpriced, clumsy constructions of plastic and MDF... Sticker-shocked in Boulder,Mike. | |
| OK folks, what the best pre for under 10,000? The Hovland pre, the HP-200, is nice and musical (and very pretty to look at) for about $5K to $6K. Music played through it has a nice flow (continuousness as HP calls it).BTW, We are only admirers, not dealers, of Hovland.Enjoy!Mike. | |
| looking for best isolation platform for CD player We've had good success with the Acapella Fondato Silenzio platform and the HRS (Harmonic Resolution Systems) Isolation Base (we carry both of these), Damping Plates and Nimbus feet. Others we have not had such good success with.Some vibration cont... | |
| amp & preamp for acapella violon The Violon High Sub is an awesome speaker. We just got ours and are breaking them in with the 800 watt Edge NL Reference monoblocks. Yes, a little over the top - but it sounds *great*.If you like tubed amplification - and you can afford it - then ... | |
| ML 20.5 a good match for Sonus Faber Extremas? Hi NewInTown,Yes, the 20.5 will do very well. We have used the 20.6 (the upgraded version of the 20.5) for many years on our Extremas (has it been 6 already? *sheesh*). You won't have the finesse of a very high-end solidstate amp or the lush music... | |
| Besides Spectral, what else do I try........ Pbb? They do transcend the laws of physics (as we have known them) as regards to sound - as most people, who have actually heard them, agree. But if you want to talk ergonomics, a superset of industrial design, then we will have to talk about ease... | |
| Besides Spectral, what else do I try........ Also you might want to add the Edge amplifiers to your list - Spectral is the only thing that perhaps comes close to Edge (according to HP), and Edge has clarity, speed, ... and finesse....something very, very few amps have ... in spades. Soundsta... | |
| Kharma 3.2 Owners, your thoughts... Hi Henry,Many of the above suggestions should help: improved digital source, cabling, removal of the PS300 (which can just be replaced with a good surge protector from Office Depot) and moving of the speakers (though along as they are not EXACTLY ... | |
| CJ ART / ARC Ref 2 audition Hi Danhirsh,Nice review. Don't mind the ARC fans - every component has its weaknesses, including the ARC and CJ ART, as you correctly point out in your post. We all have our trade-offs we are willing to live with, and those that we are not. The Le... | |
| Which speaker is better The SONUS FABER Guarnieri Homage. It will have more resolution in the midrange, where most of the music is, and it will sound like music. You will be happy using an ordinary amplifier (greater than 100 watts please) and ecstatic if you pair them w... | |
| Edge M6 with Aerial 7B ? The Plinius SA-102 is a fine amp (though with a class A topology it will run hot) as is the Bryston (almost all speakers like more power) and the other amps on your list. But we chose to be dealers for Edge for one reason above all: quality. When ... |
