| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice After you discover that the CD player isn't the problem, might as well throw a pair of Lansche 8.2 speakers in that room, fill in any remaining space with stuffed animals, and start praying. | |
| My stereo isn't doing it for me. Need advice Before you go buying anything else, can you give a few examples of CDs you are listening to that sound bad? Just want to make sure you're not judging a lot of really good equipment against some really bad recordings. I was just listening to Benjam... | |
| The most dynamic & transparent bookshelf I have been following this thread since it started, and I can sense the frustration of other members and I understand why...Wim1983, you're asking good questions. And people are giving good advice. The problem is this is like asking people what ki... | |
| Golden Ear Triton One Speakers $$$ You know Johnnyb53, I think I've been guilty of the exact thing I mentioned in my first response, except with the Aons. I looked those up after reading your post, and put 2+2 together and remembered I have seen those in a shop. And at $499 each I ... | |
| Golden Ear Triton One Speakers $$$ Also, are all the models great at their price point or is the Triton 1 the standout in the lineup? | |
| Golden Ear Triton One Speakers $$$ Stereo5, is that the only room you've tried them in? I hope more owners chime in - I'd like to know what is the smallest room someone has had success with these. I dont want to rattle walls, but maybe they could work in smaller living rooms... | |
| Golden Ear Triton One Speakers $$$ I obviously only speak for myself, but I'll throw a few thoughts at you about these...They look like they need a big room - I read one review where they were 8 feet apart, and 4 feet more each from the side walls, and 3 feet from the back walls. T... | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? I understand what you're saying Bill, I think Sonus Faber, just for one example, has that philosophy that the cabinet isn't just a holder for the drivers but an organic functioning part of what creates their sound signature. Thanks for the response. | |
| Planars/ Electrostats benefits over box speakers? I realize I'm probably simplifying and generalizing, but aren't companies like Magico, Wilson Benesch, BMC (and I'm sure others I don't even know about) utilizing steel or aluminum cabinets in an effort to build "box" speakers but with such inert ... | |
| thoughts on two monitors I personally prefer the first series, but don't take that to mean that the 2nd series is less desirable - it's purely a matter of preference. I found the "Home" series just a little brighter, with a little more air, than the first series. The firs... | |
| thoughts on two monitors Which version of the Concerto are you considering - the original bi-wire version or the "Home" non-biwire version?I've owned both (still own the original Concertino) and they do sound different. | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? No Brauser, I'm saying that if you're really experiencing a case of discovering a level of tightening that was either beyond the engineering capability of your speakers' designer, or simply wasn't important enough a quality control concern for the... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Brauser, the skepticism you likely read in my post comes from the perspective that what you're doing isn't tweaking (or incorporating a minor change, as you put it), any more than inflating car's tires back to spec means you're tweaking that model... | |
| Brass screws make a real difference on Dunlavy s ? Wait a minute...are you guys talking about re-tightening screws that were loose? Which would be like proclaiming that your car is less jumpy because you replaced the broken motor mounts...well, yeah, duh. Or are you saying that you're actually hea... | |
| Peachtree or Hegel Integrated? I've never heard the Hegel, but I do have the Peachtree Grand X-1, just a little up the food chain from the Nova. I'd like to check out the Hegel someday, just out of curiosity, because everyone seems to love them (this volume issue notwithstandin... |
