| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers Of course you are correct. The problem, at least from my perspective, is singing accolades ad nauseum regarding the latest and greatest giant killer components. This never ends up being the actual case. Reviewers are among the worst in this regard. | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations I always liked the Aerial speakers that I have heard. Get more things right than many other dynamic designs. | |
| Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4 I have never heard streaming come close to analog. I think that redbook sounds better than streaming. Even heard a difference in file types. Until they get a handle on high def. streaming I am not interested. | |
| Excellent Solid State or Hybrid Monoblocks Recommendations I know that some models of the Aerial speaker line tend to like a good deal of solid state power. I am not sure if your speakers fit into this category. I could never find a solid state amp for under $ 40K that I liked. I did like the Trilogy mono... | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers A case can be made that any speaker with great swings in impedance is not a well designed speaker as a whole. Yes there are solid state amps that will drive a 2 ohm load, but why limit the user to solid state and why design in this fashion? Makes ... | |
| Geddes multiple subwoofer method - 3 subs vice 4 So true about ported speakers. | |
| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers The tekton guy needs to stay out of these discussions. Have no interest in any of his speakers but now I wouldnt buy a pair just due to his demeanor. And yes I have heard them. Sound just like you would think given the design and the parts. Put th... | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? There is nothing wrong with a 6K power cord. I hope he has recovered from this "calling out". | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? And I think that Stereophile has even less cred. than TAS. Point is that TAS doesnt even claim, really, to be an untainted source. Stereophile does. The only issues I read from either of these sources and the ones I get for free at the various sho... | |
| TAS. The Absolute Sound? Michael Fremer charming? | |
| Aries-Cerat Helene Review I moved to the top of the line Kubalas. Got them used, but they best the much less expensive Inakustiks by a wide margin. The Kubalas tend toward the polite but just so natural sounding. | |
| Aries-Cerat Helene Review jc51373, Did you get the mention of how much he sells and how all the ultra rich own AC? Moving in these circles as he does. Be interesting to see what he sells as the absolute best (as in nothing close) when he looses a line and has to replace ... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love Thanks for reminding me of Adcom. Have had the 555s and then the monos and couldnt really ever come to like them. Still use a 535 in my garage, although this is soon to be replaced with most likely a vintage tube integrated. If I dont sell my pair... | |
| Stuff You Tried To Love First Watt amps. Most S.S. preamps. Horns. Harbeth speakers, Sanders electrostats, big omni MBLs, most KEFs I have heard recently,and on. Unfortunately as my personal systems improve and as I become a better listener, the list of also rans grows e... | |
| You don't lack bass, you have too much treble I am not so sure I agree with the premise of the OP. entirely. No doubt the room is hugely important and intelligent use of treatments is paramount, but I dont hear room problems in terms of balance. Mids and highs do nothing to add to or detract ... |
