| Driving Gallo Reference 5LS Well... I bought the Yggdrasil... because all of the reviews said it one of the top 3 dacs at any price, ranking with the best available. And... though skeptical... I was pleasantly surprised... it is, as they say... "on a whole other level." Ju... | |
| Maggie owners (past, present, future) what do (did) you love and or dislike about them? +4... for the PG Magnestand Maggie 1.6’s, which I have also. His mods do resolve the weaknesses of Maggies, which are dynamics and bass - they add dynamics, bass and resolution. And yes they are best with all things acoustic - jazz, classical quar... | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. +1 more for the Legacy Calibre’s for the reasons noted.Legacy Anything pretty well leaves all the rest in their dust. | |
| RMAF 2019! astewart8944 Paragraphs, subheadings and punctuation are your friend... | |
| ESL57 vs ESL63 It seems that when properly set up and amped there is very little that can compare to the sound of the ESL 57’s - the realism, resolution and liquidity, just seems to be unmatched for all acoustic sounds (e.g. jazz, classical, country, sax, trumpe... | |
| What are some of the most underrated and overrated loudspeakers you’ve auditioned? I must agree with those who consider the Golden Ear products overrated.They get a lot of mileage and street cred from the great sonics of the folded ribbon tweeter, which is superb, producing great clarity and detail resolution, which also adds to... | |
| Magnepans or...Martin Logan I guess I'd probably agree that the Emerald Physics open baffle speakers might be a better option than the Maggies for the reasons noted. However, they're pretty heavy and will be more difficult to ship safely. The Pure Audio Project open baffle... | |
| Magnepans or...Martin Logan I would agree with those who suggest the Maggies - they have more weight and substance than the ML’s. The ML’s have great clarity, detail and resolution, but there is more to music than that. Of the Maggies any of the LRS, .7, or 1.7 are great. th... | |
| Most impressive small footprint speaker WaveTouch Audio Grand Teton or Antero - the equal of the best out there at a bargain price.Proac Response D2 - truly magical / majestic / holographic sound with the right tube amplifier (e.g. Line Magnetic 518ia, etc.).Legacy Audio Calibre - pheno... | |
| Recommendation for detailed/analytical bookshelf speaker? "Try Legacy Audio Studio Hd. AMT tweeters, and nice size woofers for a bookshelf."I overlooked the Legacy Audio stand mounts... but... yes, they are superb also... especially the Calibre.And... yes... the AMT / ribbon tweeters make all the differe... | |
| Recommendation for detailed/analytical bookshelf speaker? While the current Quad ESL 57’s are superb, as are the Maggies, they are difficult to place, and require more room to perform well.The Grand Teton’s and Anteros, as well as the Response D2, have as good, or better sound quality (especially dynamic... | |
| Recommendation for detailed/analytical bookshelf speaker? None better than the Proac Response D 2 or Studio SM100, or the ATC SCM20ASL or SCM50ASL.And if you want a real value that performs as well as these - the WaveTouch Audio Grand Teton or Antero (giant killers)! |
