| Analysis plus ova 9‘S vs. Kimber cable 8tc’s. I really object to those that recommend a cable, or any other component, based on musical preference. | |
| Laser measurement for speaker position It is not unusual to spend a few hours placing my speakers. And of course the point is that once your speakers are properly placed you can move your head, if necessary, to find the sweet spot. | |
| Tubes or stick with S/S Go with tubed OTLs with higher power. 30W per channel as a minimum. In my experience, OTLs are in another league when you compare them against SET and push-pull designs on higher impedance speakers. | |
| Laser measurement for speaker position @clearthinkI have to disagree. Let us know your method. | |
| Quad 2912 vs Martin Logan ESL 11a Not a M.L. fan. My initial thought would be to move the direction of the Quads. | |
| The under appreciated impedance curve I cant think of a single reason why any speaker should be of a lower impedance other than perceived higher power with most S.S. amps. Fact remains that higher impedance speakers are almost universally easier to drive regardless of amplifier type. ... | |
| Who Makes A Good Duplex Wall Outlet I just bought several Cruze First Maestros but have yet to install. At $ 89.95 each I thought them an excellent buy. | |
| Replacing Vintage Spendors is not as easy as I thought I would suggest that what you believe to be fatiguing treble is actually much more accurate treble but a treble of which you are not accustomed. An additional thought is that the newer speakers are much more revealing of the electronics than your ... | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon Huy,Thank you for posting this. I have never owned Harbeths so have never heard them in my rooms, but I found the models which I have heard all shared this same "pleasantness". So based on my experience these speakers are not natural nor are they ... | |
| Stereophile Profiles Carpets and Curtains again .... Never been a fan of Stereophile. I doubt a makeover is possible as the problem is in the how they (and others) collect revenue. | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II I am with ebm, I think the Rockports are better. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon petek,I have extensive experience with the 0/96s and SETs. Recently we built an Atma-sphere M-60 kit and replaced the SET amps we had with the Atma-sphere and the improvements were astounding. I am convinced that all higher impedance speakers woul... | |
| What was your favorite speaker at Axpona 2019 Maybe the Rockports driven by CH Precision. I thought the Martens with Zesto equipment sounded very good at a reasonable cost. I thought many rooms were far too loud. | |
| The Harbeth phenomenon While some products are greater than the sum of their parts, Harbeth to me sounds exactly like the sum of its parts. When you look at a Harbeth, you should instantly know much of how their speakers will sound. Intrinsic problems will be the cabine... | |
| MBL 101 (~1990) - amp suggestions. MBL makes amps that are on the warm side and I would think would be a very good match for these speakers. These can be had used at reasonable prices. You need lots of power! |
