| Can we create a consensus list of the TONALITY of different amps/preamps/brands? I am not agreeing to or disagreeing to your evaluations of the components you mention. BUT the sound impact can be from the source and preamps that you also have paired them with. Not sure what the ultimate goals is but you also need to understand... | |
| Speakers sounding dull? MUST READ! The truth about speaker design! @timlub - there are a few speaker manufacturers that only use the front panel to mount drivers like Nola. Any opinion on their products? Also do you have an opinion on field coil speaker designs? You can PM me if you want. Thanks | |
| Speakers and amplifiers show audiophiles are confused. As a manufacturer and repair company we get to hear more than our share of equipment. Specs don't really work and can be used as a guide but that won't guarantee success. We recently repaired a SET amp 28wpc that drove the heck out of a pair of ... | |

| First Watt J2 & speaker pairing ? The FW amps are basic and decent for the money. We have cloned them with better parts and achieved much better results. If you need to hear a Class A amp, PM me and I will send you one for you to hear. Happy Listening. | |

There are plenty of great used speakers starting with the Vandersteen 5As, or the Verity Parsifals, etc. You can get these speakers for one third the MSRP these days ... | |

| 2023 AXPONA Show Report First off - most rooms do not know how to set-up speakers. That is the main reason they sound OK. So how did I determine this? Easy, we know dealers who have manufacturers come in to try to get them to purchase their speaker line. None of them... | |
| Law Of Diminishing Returns? Over and Over and Over again Money has nothing to do with sound quality. Why do you people keep positing this? It is design and parts quality that make the sound. I can modify any audio component to be as good as or better than another audio... | |
| The problem with PLC Well great topic. I personally have found the PLS and I enjoy them every night in long listening sessions with my audio buddies. I guess I am blessed in this area. My search is now over. Happy Listening. |
