| The Search Because i keep harping about the seas driver line called excel. There is an interesting story on the development of these drivers, I know. But+Where i read it , can't recall. If seas printed the entire story which would go back 30+ yrs ago, you'd ... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? Most of my collection is classical. i would never consider horns for classical. I need separation of the image. I can't stand whena speaker or a vacumm tube model blends everything into one "blob".Sure horns may deliver more dynamics over most con... | |
| Best speakers under $3K for tube amps, Horn designs are wayyyy to big to my taste. My Thors blend into any size room. Even in a small room their presence do not attack you. | |
| The Search Onh, I've only tried the Thor. I have plans to add the Tyler 3 ways which will give me slight more bottom end, sometime next yr, maybe later this yr. If there is something Hopefully Ty has the 3 way voiced the way i prefer. I may ask him to put in... | |
| differences between tube and solid state designs Differences in KT88 vs the KT90.Anyone wanna take a shot. I much prefer the 90 over the 88. There is nothing about the 88 tube I like. I like everything about the 90. btw notice how few amps offer the 90. | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Phil" "yes the Definitions are well worth the extra, as its a much better speaker than the Druids" | |
| Best speakers under $3K for tube amps, "chazzbo often has pretty good points...." Yes his typos are bad, but as you say has more to say that many others with better spelling. Still waiting on more high sensitivity suggestions.I thought Scan speaks were, but they rate at 87 like their c... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? So ZU is the new kip on the bloack with massive marketing push/$'s and is a better speaker than the Danes who have been researching to achieve the Excel line, for over 40+ yrs. Go for it. I'm thinking Tyler has 2-3 yrs to go before his speakers ar... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Newbee I don't need a defense team. Sure I can't explain the tech stuff that goes with audio, but have a intuition how these concepts work out. Gain/db levels, fq's, impedence , these things can be electronically measured. Breakin "improvements" c... | |
| Favorite Tube Speaker Match I have the seas' with magnesium cone material, big heavy solid copper phase plug. Its not a tube friendly speaker, at all. Rates like 87db and will suck most any tube amp dry. My Jadis Orch Refer does bring dynamics to this speaker, amazingly. Jad... | |
| Best speakers under $3K for tube amps, Chaz, interesting that you mention "you'd be better off with another 3db (89db effectively doubles your power)." Your last part of the sentence I fail to understand. So just 3 db points make all that much difference. I think I'm getting this idea ... | |
| Zu Druid IV - the real deal? Drubin and Reubent have a good point. First off I don't believe in the breatin idea at all. Everything electroic I own works just as it did the day I turned it on. What I think Drubin and Reu is getting at is the initial impression may 'fool" us i... | |
| Are some of us cultish in our beliefs Launche, yes i did break my commiitment to get the Cayin A88, as i saw the opportunity for the Xiansheng. But as you point out at these price points the Cayin can still bea possibility. That is if the Xian, due to arrive tomorrow, should not meet ... | |
| Anyone had this problem? Cary CD 303/300 Skip My friend bought a Cary 303, and had to return it 2 or 3 X's for issues, all within the first few months. Simuliar to what you are having. This was 3 yrs ago, I'd figure they have those problems ironed out by now. | |
| cayin cdt 17a vs. consonance cd 2.2 I am the only one who pointed out the superior quality of the 17. No one even gave a review. How is that a disservice. I did say my friends Cary 303 broke down 3 X's. How is that not a fair warning?Good ignore the Cayin for all I care. If my revie... |
