| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs @kythyn, if you’re pretty sure you will be sticking with the T-IV’s for the long term (I don't blame you, they're fantastic loudspeakers!), and want to stay within your $2,000 budget, consider getting a good high-power solid state amp that you can... | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? @halecory, some listeners (Robert Deutsch and Art Dudley in Stereophile, VPI's Harry Weisfeld) have been very impressed with the IsoAcoustic Gaia isolators, many of the UK reviewers are enthusiastic about the Townshend Audio Seismic products, and ... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs Oops. In rereading my comment above (06-02, 9:35pm), I see I stated "the two bass panels compromise a considerable square footage", when I of course meant to say they "comprise" such. | |
| Top five live Rock And Roll Albums @initforthemusic , Ha, yup, I had heard that before! Diamond seemed SO out of place in that group of artists, pure showbiz schmaltz. I view him being there as Robbie doing not Neil, but himself a favour, bringing attention to Diamond in hopes the ... | |
| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective Musical, as that's too subjective. | |
| Squeeky noise on vocals Are you listening to CD's? Some people find them to be bright, to one degree or another. Especially through a tweeter as transparent as the Maggie ribbon. You might be happier with a high-power tube amp, but they're not cheap. | |
| Anyone going to the 2019 "The Show?" Bring your own source material, so you have a "constant reference" in your comparisons. And dress cooly---the rooms get hot. | |
| R.I.P. Roky Erickson. One of the infamous acid casualties of the late 60's, along with Syd Barrett, Skip Spence, and Peter Green. I've known a few myself. Very potentially-dangerous drug. Timothy Leary was a very irresponsible man, imo. | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs Hey, that's a great idea. My pair of Eminent Technology LFT-4 have a short (half-height) wing on either side of each panel for that very reason. It partially prevents the front and back wave from meeting on each side and cancelling (the dipole eff... | |
| Spiking speakers not designed for spikes? Though solid cement floors are less resonant than are suspended wood ones, they are still plagued by seismic vibrations. Spiking is so 20th Century ;-). | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs Right George, the Tympani bass and midbass is really something: very "percussive", taut. They do a drumset like nothing else I’ve heard. An aptly named loudspeaker! ;-) They "go" lower than do many cone woofers (the two bass panels compromise a co... | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs Good luck finding a pair of JC1's or a Gryphon for $2,000! What CAN be done at that price is a cheap high-powered amp on the bass panels, and a better amp on the m/t (that Maggie ribbon tweeter reveals any grain or hardness in an amp). Bi-amping r... | |
| Why all or most audiophiles are men? What became of Enid Lumley? | |
| What's a real good arm for a Decca Cartridge? Touche', @noromance. What I should have said is that if you have a Decca (is the op's a Decca, or a London?) in an SME, and you have mistracking, I would suspect the cartridge before the arm. Not all Deccas mistrack, but they are well known to not... | |
| Who is an audiphile? In 1957 they were builders, not buyers Audi's are okay, but I prefer BMW's ;-) . |
