| Horns with good timbre and tonality? Anyone heard of Heretic speakers? Saw on instigram the place in Mass now selling them. Look like old Altec but w/Tannoy type concentric drivers. Cool as all hell but wonder if they can be anyway near the big Tannoys I heard there a few weeks back.... | |
| Sansui? An AU-9500 pushing a set of JBL 4311s in a vintage setup is a killer pairing. As mentioned, vintage Sansui & JBL were considered soulmates back in the day - still look and play with all the business! | |
| looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range Find a vintage Sansui, AU-9500... best integrated I've heard at the $1500 price point. | |
| Speakers 10 years old or older that can compete with todays best, Had the chance to snap up a pair of Equation 7 speakers a few years back. The original owner proclaimed they were "Harbeth Killers". Tall order but I was actually using 7es 2 so thought they must be something worth grabbing. Was told they should r... | |
| All Pre 1970 Vintage speakers suck! Prove me wrong Have owned JBL, 4311 and agree, thy are fabulous with punch and authority. EV Centurion Corner Horms - just sound like music. Playing a set of '63 Tannoy, Belvedere now and they are sublime; truly my wheelhouse. 15" Reds are amazing in that volume... | |

| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD Not trying to toss a grenade into this thread but I used Chord amps with my Graham, LS5/9 - there was nothing better. Didn't try Luxman or Accuphase (both excellent choices though) and no Pass. Tried Hegel, Electrocompaniet, Audiomat (integrated) ... | |

| LUMIN app question I use the U1 Mini w/S-Booster... it's outstanding. So, there are settings in the Lumin app that control just about everthing including shut down. I have mine set to turn off 10mins after I close the app & system: Lumin goes into sleep mode. Wh... |
