| Class D for a Tube Lover SPEC from Japan. Not cheap but real deal. | |
| Gripped By Upgrade Fever I'd recommend keeping a speaker for at least 6 months to learn from it unless you just don't like it and don't listen to it. For me this amount of time allows me to hear other speakers and identify sharp contrasts. YMMV. Do some reading about effi... | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Anyone compare the Cornwall to the orangutans? | |
| Gershman Studio 2 I've been enjoying these speakers more than I anticipated. If anyone reads this, can you post some electronics preferences with Gershman. I appreiciate Jabs impressions of the VAC. I've had a few VAC amps over the years and they've been great. | |
| Moving up the Harbeth line UPS bashed a pair of speakers. Fedex left a subwoofer out on my lawn in the rain. I think they are all really feeling the extra workload from this year. Second set of speakers came through Fedex flawless. | |
| Tannoy cheviot vs Arden what should I expect from each? I've always been curious about these same two Tannoy's and hopefully can hear them in New England some day. I considered buying a pair but despite the 15 and 12 inch woofer they only go to 35 and 38hz. Some people say you won't miss the bass but... | |
| Gershman Studio 2 Jab that’s a good point about the VAC combo. I A/B’d them in my house with Spendor D7’s and Devore O/93’s to come to that conclusion, same amp and cables. The tubes and wattage of the VAC would be a great combination. I did hook up the Leben brief... | |
| Gershman Studio 2 They make a very surprising product. After coming off of some much more expensive speakers that perform all kind of gymnastics, it's nice to have something on the more relaxing side that I can leave on and enjoy the music for many hours. The dynam... | |
| (Jolida) Black Ice Audio Foz SS-X Sound Enhancement I tried one of these and found it took away a bit of transparency being an added link to the chain. It did do what it said but the transparency piece was ultimately more important to me. It fun that these exists and worth a try if needed. I bought... | |
| Tinnitus sufferer: is it the speakers or the 24bits/192kHz I don’t agree that this is a tube vs ss, or digital vs vinyl issue. My experience has been more speaker related. I’ve had speakers that made my ears mildly hurt and ring at 85db volumes. I agree with noromance that it seems to be an energy issue. | |
| Looking for my Final Pair!! Make sure you start with the right room and positioning for whatever speaker you get. Every speaker has a different presentation with limitations so finding one that you can live with. Find a tweeter that you like otherwise you will feel like that... | |
| Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100? I had the D7 with a Leben CS600 and the treble was more detailed than some might like, but it wasn't fatiguing to me. | |
| Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes? Please keep us posted with regard to your adventure. If I'd invested in plexiglass futures I'd set up a dedicated room Parsifal Anniversary driven with big tube amps. Your mission is worthy. | |
| Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes? When I had mine I drove them primarily with Luxman Class A which was nice, but I auditioned them with an ARC Ref 110 and they sounded great. I didn't want to get into big tube amps at the time but if you go down that path you will be rewarded. Th... | |
| Wilson Alexx V Who is the guru? The site has moved a few degrees from serious to slapstick, but it still has a descent cast of characters. If you sort through the witch doctors, luddites and sycophants, arcane knowledge can be found.Wilson makes a great speaker... |
