| Problem with AC and how to solve it It is probably not a voltage problem at all. You are carrying noise on your lines from something. It could be as simple as a light dimmer or something similiar.Some sources of lighting will cause it. Probably need to turn things off in your home u... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Grant, Haven't heard the Maxx in my room so I've have tried to avoid knocking them other than the published test results and I'm in another camp as for design. I have heard a lot of "Good" sounding speakers over the years and they weren't all 1st ... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I do agree my emphasis is more absolute I think what Onhwy61 says is probably true. The recording has so much to do with the end result and this is why I think some demo with certain recordings that favor a given speaker/design. I guess my goal is... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Onhwy61,I cannot debate your statement as to recording equipment, etc. I know there are HUGE differences.However, I would like to add that if you take a fairly close miked (on good equipment) recording of individual or groups of individual instrum... | |
| Creek 5350SE - Is it all that? As Muzikat says, the Creek sounds a little laid back do to its passive volume control/preamp section. You can add Creek's preamp module but I felt it caused some sonic degradation. The Creek has a warm, smooth sound.I have never heard the Nait but... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Gmood1, I did the samething. A friend of mines son is a professional drummer. After listening to him practice a while---wow, no way will any audio system capture what I heard. It really shows the dynamic limitations that are imposed on the audio c... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Onhwy61, My friend has tried to catch the essence of the performance. You certainly can't recreate it from every perspective but I think he tries for what the average listener would hear in the center lower level of the better seating areas. Howev... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I have said many times throughout threads here on A'gon that I have a hard time finding a speaker that comes even close to reproducing the tonal qualities of a live sax. As a sax player for many years, it almost makes "High end audio" a moot point... | |
| Von Schweikert VR4 III SE vs. VR4 SR4 The VR4se has a much fuller bass than the SR model. They have tightened the bass up considerably until now it almost sounds a touch lean. The rep that was demonstrating them mentioned that the bass in the SE version was a bit sloppy.I can't say if... | |
| Sony 777ES vs Sony 7100 ES Receiver upgrade? If I remember correctly, the 777 has preamp outs. I would buy a good multi-channel power amp and add it to the receiver. They're many good amps that can be had for the cost of a new receiver.I found the 170w of digital power (STR DA5000es) to not ... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Not defending Hardesty (he's perfectly capable of doing that himself) but several things are being lost here. 1. His magazine is not online, it is by subscrption and a right costly one at that. 2) While all are posturing on his "Watchdog", he is n... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Now these last few comments are what confuse me. What is "High end" audio. Is it a bunch of expensive products that lay some claim to fame? No wonder Best Buy and Circuit City thrive. Why not? Their stuff sounds as good to their customers as this ... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx Samual, Hmmm, by constant stance, I mean Hardesty does conform to one type of engineering method that he feels gives the best chance to a speaker at reproducing the source accurately. Does time and phase coherency ring a bell. Also, he believes in... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx If you read all of Hardesty's early journals, you will easily see where he is coming from. He discusses ALL of his positions. The "Watch Dog" is his gripe piece. I think personally a speaker costing this much should be held to a lofty standard and... | |
| Warm and pleasing CDP - can be biased, colored I meant to mnention the Arcam FMJ23 also. It is a warm player that is tonally neutral but you really have to go some to make it sound bad. It aslo has excellent resolution and detail.The Meridian's are good players and the 508.24 still offers one ... |
