| Planned to upgrade to DeVore Gibbon X, but concerned about comment of base leanness So much more information is required before taking any review seriously. It doesnt help that the review is from Stereophile. | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) I wonder if some of you would respond as aggressively if someone insulted a member of your family or kicked your dog. I find it really funny that you take negative comments about your equipment so personally. I too doubt the new Khorns will measur... | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) mapman,I dont disagree with anything you wrote, but often it is the higher efficiency speakers that have a higher and more stable impedance curve for use with tube amps. | |
| Klipsch K Horns (the new AK6) I too am a bit surprised that a high efficiency speaker like these would have such a dubious impedance curve. As to the other peculiarities, these should come as no surprise to any hobbyist that has even a elementary knowledge of this design. | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps I certainly havent heard them all but I have heard some which were considered top shelf. What I find encouraging is that a well know tube preamp/amp manufacturer who I really respect is experimenting with these type of amps. | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps I agree with clearthink on the issue of Class D amps. Havent heard one yet that I have liked. | |
| Again the topic of weight of amps DNM and Resolution Audio products are very light and are not Class D! | |
| My Thoughts re: Dealers Posting on Audiogon Requiring them to list their affiliation is enough. | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! Or you can use years of experience to identify the more expensive components that are actually worthwhile and create a system that sounds sublime. Truth is that there are no "victims" in either scenario. | |
| FM Acoustics vs CH Precision My experience with CH Precision has been very good. Like Vitus Audio, every system driven by CH that I have heard was excellent. Unlike much SS, CH seemed to have very good low level resolution. I havent heard FM enough to comment, but mijostyn wo... | |
| Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!! For the money, these are the best speaker cables I have heard. Others have told me that the cable just below the Solo Crystal is perhaps an even better value. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Much wisdom in the last paragraph of Ralph's (atmasphere) last post. If a reviewer says something about a particular speaker being better suited to one form of music or another this is a really bad sign. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations I have heard of East and West Coast sound, but never 70s sound. Live and learn I guess. | |
| beryllium vs diamond I fear that too often the word synergy in audio is used to describe overcoming the sonic problems of one component by matching them with another component whose sonic problems are the polar opposite. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations My main speakers are Ascendo Model Ms. In other rooms I have older Kharmas (due to cheap price when purchased), Phase Techs in the garage and some modified Radio Shack 4 speakers with Lineum tweeters. In fact, the garage would be the ideal locatio... |
