| 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 ;-) . | |
| My speakers are set. Magnepan Tympani IVs @kythyn, great price on the T-IV’s! They’re worth about twice what you paid for them. I have a pair of T-IVa’s (I sold my IV’s a year ago, but not for $1k ;-), and if at all possible, yes, bi-amp them. But to do so well will cost you more than $2,... | |
| What brand was better than it is today? Quad, when they were make in England. In contrast,, the London cartridges are better in every way than the Deccas were. | |
| Fan on Amp Unbeatable What a clever little fan @n80! I'm gettin' me some. | |
| My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel @clio09, are you sure the $12,000 price is with the d-d amps? I stated that a few months ago in another thread, and you informed me that was incorrect, the $12k was for the panels and subs, the d-d amps were an added-cost option. If the price incl... | |
