| 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... | |
| Is Not Responding To An Offer Just Plain Rude? Seems like a mix of interested buyers and audiophiles looking for advice lately. I've made some nice connections with some folks that share common objectives or brands over the decades. Some continue, some quickly split when you sell the kids. I'm... | |
| HELP! Large speakers fell over during shipping. I always thought Vandersteen’s Furniture boxes were a good idea. Who want to beat up on furniture? Our fedex guy left a subwoofer on my lawn under a tree in the rain. Wouldn’t do that with furniture.The boxes were destroyed you say? | |
| I saved alot of money. I've found that once you enter into the "high end" the reward ratio can be a slippery slope. If your room treatment and layout is not perfect, you just end up chasing small gains, which is fine, but few of them have any substance. YMMV. | |
| Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100? I've been on a bit of a speaker bender over the past 6 months. I find the D7 to be detailed but pretty easy to listen to with all kinds of music. It's been years since I've heard the classic so will leave that to others to compare. | |
| Low power- transparency, dimension, dynamics and bass, or... Sounds_real_audio yes I agree about speed, but I have heard speakers that have speed in some areas but not others. I think I could call it dynamic impact as well. Where the flow of the whole of the music is fast- impactful- large swings when calle... | |
| Low power- transparency, dimension, dynamics and bass, or... I appreciate the above content. it’s a good mix of practical and contemplative thoughts on what it is we are looking to achieve. Does anyone have any experience with Gershman? It would be a complete scratch of the "low power" desire but we have to... |
