Is there a perfect speaker? Go to the back room in Goodwin's in Waltham, MA and you will hear the most perfect of today. They have lots of speakers and amplification in all ranges. From there you can decide if a second mortgage is the route you want to go or make some sacrif... | |
Nordost Frey interconnect hum I noticed a hum when I didn't have them properly set. Just jiggle and tighten or remove and put them on again. Great cables. | |
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers Sorry to post again but I just want to emphasize the perception of value or worth vs. satisfaction. Especially with a big and heavy speaker. | |
Dunlavy SC4 Speakers I have no Dunlavy experience but I have purchased big heavy older speakers, like Model 5's, and it was a real hassle. Difficult to unpack, potential driver issues, packing again, expensive shipping.I say be really careful and go less with value an... | |
Power Cords - Just Say Yes With the right cable things just settle a little more. Easier flow and the more relaxed things will be. It's all personal preference and goals. Double blind tests help in the beginning. Good luck. | |
Totem Owners.... I had the Forest, Super 8 and Tamino in my system with tube and solid state Luxman and mastersound and Ayre gear. Tamino came out on top with soundstage, clarity,and most importantly musicality. | |
Christmas '12 Audio Upgrades? Wife bought me a pair of Q7's but I would need too much room treatment, and I don't like that look, so I sent them back. | |
David Wilson must be a little annoyed... The Q7 is amazing. Listened to them for a while at Goodwin's in Waltham MA. Never heard a Wilson speaker that I would want for myself. Davt I'm with you on the Verity's. | |
Tube Cage On or Off. Does it Make any Difference? Think of it as a bra. Appropriate at times. | |
Does you wife touch your system? All the time. | |
No love. Why? Nice comments Elizabeth. Wmbode. You need to get out and listen to some other options. Or trust some of the folks in these forums and make a decision.I've been through a number of speakers like B&W, Totem, Devore, Verity, Zu, and came back to ... | |
ARC VM 220 WITH VANDERSTEEN WOOD QUATRO Did you make the call? | |
ARC VM 220 WITH VANDERSTEEN WOOD QUATRO I always wanted to like ARC but never could. Always a little metallic or thin to my ears. It might be interesting to try something like a Luxman 590AII before dumping the speakers. Not a huge investment for you and it would be a big change. | |
Recordings with BASS Apparently the teens are listening DJ Billy-E these days. Much fun for a bass test. | |
Amp for Verity Parsifal encore Thanks for sharing your opinions and experiences. I've heard the Parsifal's with an EAR pre and the 890 amp that is 70wpc. The 899 is also 70 wpc, and should drive them very well.I am currently using a Luxman 550aII and it is plenty powerful at re... |
