| Horn Speaker Recommendations Well emotion is a large part of the experience and what we all seek, but I dont understand the reference to 70s sound. The goal should be truth and an honest and accurate representation of the original material. This is the only benchmark that is ... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations I dont know of a single horn enthusiast who has been around the block more than once that considers Klipsch viable or competitive. Kind of the like the McDonalds of horns. The criticism of my JBL comments may be appropriate if they dont sound like... | |
| The term "High End" needs to die. Long live Hi-Fidelity! It is completely meaningless what you decide to call this hobby. Calling it something else will make no difference and shouldnt. Totally subjective. | |
| Suggestions for my system Your room is not too small for vintage Quads or several other ESLs! | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations As a person who really doesnt like horns but has heard many, please put Klispch on the bottom of your list. The Klipsch just arent worthy of mention in the company of many of the other suggestions given. At least not without major mods. I havent h... | |
| Amp change/upgrade for JBL4367 (94dB 2Way with Horn tweeter & 15" woofer) I think that you should try tubes! The best tubes amps I have ever heard at a resonable cost are the Atma-sphere OTLs. You will need a preamp of which many are available on Audiogon or as new. Atma-sphere also makes a less expensive preamp which I... | |
| What’s really hurting the audio hobby? I agree with elizabeth that many on these forums contribute greatly to the problems in this hobby. I would think that many audio enthusiasts are of above average intelligence and therein, perhaps, lies the problem. Why would any person indulge in ... | |
| What amp is best with Wilson Sasha DAW speakers Once again roberjerman is speaking definitively about how you should spend your money. I am getting really sick of him telling us (me) what is and is not "throwing money away". Enough already! Some new members might actually take your advice and l... | |
| OTL amps, my pick for the tube used. I have yet to talk with the owner of a product that uses 6C33 tubes that hasnt had to live with much higher than average problems with these tubes during the first 50 or so hours of use. Perhaps this is no longer the case. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Agree with much of what you say about the Sound Labs, however dont forget to mention that these speakers are dipoles which creates problems by virtue of this aspect. Not a small problem I might add. | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations Not a fan of horns but I do think that something from Cessaro would be worth a look. Best I remember hearing. If you get horns be sure to power them adequately. I strongly favor more power from an OTL design over the lower powered SETs especially ... | |
| Just received shipment of my Magnepan LRS’s I thought Magnepan and Stereophile didnt get along. Or I should say I didnt think they trusted Atkinson to give them a fair shake as incapable as he seems to be regarding understanding the limitations of his measurements. Not that they need an end... | |
| Our Responsibility Oh boy, there is always someone in every crowd that wants everyone to know their feelings about religion or politics. Almost like a badge of honor or a membership to club. If the analogy didnt suck I might be inclined to allow it. Of course kosst ... | |
| Please find the excuses for me not to buy Stax 009S headphone You shouldnt buy if any on this forum can talk you into or out of buying these phones. I never liked listening to headphones and havent missed them since I sold them years ago. This is not to say that I would have missed a different type of headph... | |
| Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall? Neither really. All I want is to hear the recordings as accurately as possible. I dont consider my system a substitute for live music. If I want to hear musicians in the flesh I leave my listening room and go out. |
