| Spatial X5 speakers Question: If the Spatial M3s work fine with tubes (and they must because they are sold together) why did Clayton previously create an M3 version called the M3 triode master: "The award winning M3 has been re-engineered [changing from 4ohm] to pre... | |
| An Artist's Pinnacle Electric Light Orchestra: Face the Music This thread reminds me of something I’ve been pondering about musical groups/artists. They appear and in their first several albums develop their talent, and then at some point (if they are lucky/talented)... | |
| Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks? yuviarora You can do that, for now....but this anti-science behavior will not be tolerated for long :) We should refer to anyone who uses the word snake oil as Faucci ;-) | |
| Where the heck are all these manufacturers coming from! On the other hand, LS3/5As which you probably remember from over 40 years ago are still being sold today by like 5 companies from over $3K to knockoffs for less. | |

| What song have you played the most? In the last 6 months, Low Spark of High Heeled Boys by Traffic. | |
| Best Speaker Choice for my very "non-audio-friendly" Living Room As has been mentioned, typical box speakers are not great off axis. In addition to open baffle and omnidirectionals, wide dispersion box speakers can be good off axis e.g. my LSA bookshelf were under $2k and are great at this and not sensitive to... | |
| $2000.00 to spend on new speakers. LSA small bookshelf speaker. Call and ask, Wally might have a sale price under $2k. Huge soundstage, a touch on warm side, tons of detail, and ask him but I believe you can return them if you don’t like them. | |
| LSA 20 Statement Speakers I have the small LSA bookshelf. They are wide dispersion, have a great soundstage with huge sweet spot. Very special. | |
| As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly? Wish I hadn’t sold the LS3/5A decades ago. Well or the Dahlquest dq10s that replaced them. | |
