| 5 best selling newish speaker brands in 2013? I owned the Zu's for 6 months and we just stopped listening to music. Rare in our household. Not sure why. Had them with a Luxman class A amp and a Mastersound 300 BPSE. They are popular so you should probably give them a try. You can always sell ... | |
| 5 best selling newish speaker brands in 2013? Do you mean best selling among tube or SS listeners? 5 brands, to keep it simple, that I have owned are Reynaud, Zu, Devore, Cerwin Vega, and Verity. I still have the Verity and the Cerwin Vega. I found the Cerwin Vega VS-120 at the swap shop at m... | |
| Does it bother you? Does anyone remember the thread from a few years back by a guy, I think his name was Carlos? He was a recording engineer with a temper and of coarse owned all the best gear. I remember photos of a big disheveled room fool of equipment. He got toas... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Awesome thread. I love the side banter. Nothing to add but reading this reminded me of the time WWF Hulk Hogan was called out to calm Tonga after his disqualification from a match. Hogan was the only one who could bring him back to his senses. | |
| Class A integrated Luxman L590AX vs Accuphase e560 I can vouch for the the nice Luxman gear you are looking at. Very sweet, rich, detailed, played again many times! | |
| Tired of bootleg I think the other end of the problem is US dealers buying these from the manufacturer at 60% of list price and reselling them to anyone in the world that will buy them at 40% of list. They can make many thousands of dollars per transaction. At thi... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? Stick em up! | |
| Any experience with Verity Parsifal monitor ONLY? I have the latest Parsifal Encore with bass modules and a Rel Stadium III sub. I will play with the monitors and sub only and will get back to you. The Parsifal is a great bargain in audio. Most Verity product are. | |
| High end audio - London I don't but I demoed a t+a integrated that was digital and found the speaker control to be amazing but the sound to be somewhat flat or two dimensional. Glassy is not really a good word, but a polished glass has two dimensions in my mind if that m... | |
| Avalon Eidolon Diamond vs Revel Salon 2 I've heard Avalon speakers many times at a high end shop in Boston. I think they are misunderstood by audiophiles with good intentions trying to fit them into the wrong room. These speakers need room to breath. I've heard them best 10 feet from th... | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier Silly to think about how much it should cost. Raw materials are one thing but when you consider the production facility and labor and marketing... trickle down technology and intellectual property rights? Plus Bolder ain't cheap and lift tickets k... | |
| Lots of detail, great imaging, not much bass? How good is the guys hearing? Maybe Totem Hawk or I do like the Silverline. Verity Tamino but I haven't seen them used in a year or so. Never heard the decapos but I think I'd like them. | |
| Cables more hype than value? Anyone remember the old Tales from the Crypt with the cable guy? Abel with the cable? Would be a good slogan. | |
| Review: Nordost QX4 AC filter I own the QX4 and would describe it as you have. I think it is a great product that has become an integral part of my system. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? No I didn't but I've spent lots of time with the Aquila and that is an amazing speaker. I can only imagine what the Altairs are like. Have you compared them? |
