| Amplifier For Martin Logan CLSIIZ? There's a used InnerSound amp listed for $1800 here at Audiogon. That amp will drive your CLS's very very well. I know it's a bit above your budget, but you might stretch a bit and/or make an offer and see what happens. | |
| Best speaker cable in the $2,500 range Speaker cabling really, really, really is a system synergy thing. The Audience cabling might work best in one system, the Nordost Valhalla in another, and Purist in yet another. And so on. What amps and speakers do you have, Bumbateam6?What qualit... | |
| Current Trends in multi thousand dollar speakers Hello Sean, I share many of your thoughts about the poor low-frequency definition of typical vented systems. But then one day I made the pilgrimage to Brighton, Michigan and heard the Classic Audio Reproductions T-1 in the home of their designer, ... | |
| mccormack or odyssey I sell neither, but I'd pick the McCormack. | |
| parts that make a speaker? The short answer to your question is, loudspeaker design is all about tradeoffs, with a given target market in mind. Seldom is there an absolute "best" tweeter or woofer or cabinet, but there may be one that better suits a particular application a... | |
| speaker placement, room treatment esp. floor ? As long as you're snagging some carpet, consider that natural fibers sound better than synthetic ones. I bought a HOme Depot area rug once, and it really didn't sound very good. This isn't a very scientific observation and I really can't explain w... | |
| Why all these JC-1's for sale? Aron and Tpk123, Based on the interactions I have had with Richard Schram, I'm quite confident that any customer service breakdowns happened without his knowledge. He runs a very tight ship, but that doesn't mean he knows everything that goes on. ... | |
| Why all these JC-1's for sale? Sean -Your #5 (insufficient available current) is quite possibly a common culprit. In addition, the JC-1's really do take two months of continuous play to fully break in, and that's probably the equivalent of several years of normal use. The JC-1'... | |
| Magnepan20.1 And Soundlab A-1 Hello Snook2,I like your taste in speakers!First off, just so everyone knows, I peddle the Sound Labs, though I've owned many a Maggie and respect the line a great deal. My experiences are with the Maggie 20 instead of the 20.1, and I'm sure the n... | |
| 14 x 14 foot room, too small for Magnepan MMGs? Tomek -MMG's will work fine in your room, and quite likely better than box speakers would because they won't put as much energy into the room's bass resonant modes.If by chance you have the freedom to do so, you might try positioning your set-up d... | |
| Sub woofers for electrostatics Hello Seadogs1,Here is Buggtussel's address:http://www.buggtussel.com/ | |
| Sub woofers for electrostatics I've had good results with the Bugtussel Tegmentum sub (which I sell). The transmission-line Tegmentum has low coloration with good transient response (very low overhang), as well as an extremely flexible crossover/equalizer built in, which is esp... | |
| Best amps for full range electrostatic loudspeaker I own and sell Sound Labs, and also sell several amplifiers that work well with 'em - including Atma-Sphere, Wolcott, Parasound JC-1, InnerSound, GamuT, and Clayton Audio. Among the amplifiers that customers of mine have had good results with incl... | |
| Help Need new speakers. It's important that the main left & right speakers have the same voicing as the center channel. The surrounds are less critical in this respect. Assuming you're committed to keeping your center channel, I'd suggest if possible using the same b... | |
| Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ? The little Maggie MMG should be outlawed. Banned. Verboten. Interdict. Kapu. No $550 a pair speaker has any business sounding that damn good. And those Quad 57's still floating around - geeze, let's get 'em off the market already. Their time is ov... |
