| ARC LS-27 or ARC ref-3 Dodge. . . , the only reason why I counsel decisiveness is because LS 27s don't come around very often. Ref 3s do. The LS 27 currently for sale is practically brand new. If Taters is a serious buyer and is really trying to decide between these two... | |
| can this fact be accurate? Tom and Griff, again just a guess, but I suspect that in light of current economic conditions and the uneven distribution of wealth, I would define "hi-end" as a complete system costing more than $10K, possibly even less. Hell, most people in this... | |
| can this fact be accurate? Based on just an uninformed gut feel, that number sounds about right. Even if it's all USA, high-end is still a niche market and I agree that there's a lot of manufacturers out there fighting it out for a small market. That's why I choose to buy m... | |
| ARC LS-27 or ARC ref-3 Taters, I strongly advise you to make a decision ASAP. There's an LS 27 listed for sale on A'gon right now for about $5300! They don't hang around for long. Ref 3s are also posted for sale from time to time for about the same bucks.I used to own t... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Lloyd, there's a high end dealer nearby who sells Wilsons. At some point, I really should treat myself to an audition. | |
| is it time to mention tonearm's length again? Lew, everything makes a lot of sense. Btw, I thought I read somewhere that the 12" arm, at one time, presented some stability and resonance design issues. I assume whatever may have been an issue a while ago has been worked out by now. Any thought... | |
| Paradigm Signature V2 vs V3 series? Bacardri, I was under the impression -- perhaps mistakenly -- the the V 2 and V 3 had the same tweeter. What changed was the misrange driver and the woofers were more sensitive in the V 3. As a result, the V 3 was 3db more efficient than the V 2. ... | |
| Audio Research Ref 5 and Krell amps First thing out of the box, call VPi and review with Mike or Harry you problem and path forward plann to so. If they advised you that combine impedance is too low, thereby putting too heavy a load on the pre, they may give you some practical solut... | |
| Paradigm Signature V2 vs V3 series? Bacardi, check some of the posts on this subject. A couple of the members complained about blowing their S-1s because of power overload. I think the S6 would be a safer bet, plus being a fuller range speaker. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Lloyd, on whim and fancy, audition the Paradign S8s v2 or v3 (w/ Be tweeters). Make sure they are presented fairly and that they are driven with good electronics. I think you might be surprised at how much they do right and how little they don't. ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Bill, I knew with just a little effort we could smoke you out. Thanks for the approbabtion. The Morons :<( | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Lloyd, on a serious note, I try to take Audio reviews and surveys like this with a grain of salt. Generally, I don't get involved with threads like this. The speakers that made the top 25 are all fine speakers. But when I see that other top perfor... | |
| ARC VS-115 vs ARC Ref-110 Lostbears, sorry for the late thank you. Since we traded posts, I spoke with a local ARC dealer. He advised me to wait for the Ref 150 to hit the used market. As an aside, I've kept an eye on the A'gon ARC "for sale listings" and casually observe ... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Just feel like starting trouble. Oooopps, I own #7.audiophilereview.com LOL ;-) | |
| Top 10 Snafus to avoid when building a good rig Davt, I confess -- guilty. Mea culpa, mea culpa. I often refer to my set-up as a rig. Where's Audiofiel when you need him?? |
