| $1,500 Amp budget - Best options? @ozzy62 yes, he's probably listing his 2002 Stereophile amp of the year. Bet it's been bench tested, good as new, no original box! | |
| Zu Audio Union 6 Supreme @karl_desch I'm interested in learning more about the weight of these speakers. I tried the standard Union and felt them to be a bit thin without out using "loudness" on the Leben or Luxman I was using. I also found them to lack a bit of clarity. ... | |
| Who positions their speakers straight ahead (zero tow in) and why. It depends on room boundaries and distance from the speakers. After that it comes down to preference and maybe hearing in the end. Upbringing after that. | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated @oceanandmountains Same to you! So when the rubber meets the road the Cornwall IMO was the speaker to be made. Kind of the same way the O/96 was meant to be made. As the product fills the market, lower cost items are introduced out of necessity to... | |
| What exactly is PRaT??? Well I’m no monk but I recently put together a Harbeth and Naim system. I can say this combination did something in the ’feel’ sense that I’ve always read about. There was a certain veil that was lifted without the system being aggressive in any w... | |
| Klipsch Cornwall IV and Luxman Integrated I had a Leben 300XS with the Forte IV and it was a good combination. I had the Coda CSIB with the Cornwall IV and thought that was great, better than the EL34 combo but that's all I tried with them. I heard the CW4 with the little Luxman tube amp ... | |
| REL G1 Subwoofer Problems It looks like someone is asking a new question on the old thread. | |
| Parasound vs Coda You don't have a long way to learn about tubes. Aquire a tube amp soon and save yourself time. You will either pursue that amplification on or not. Go big with the Focals or think about a speaker change. | |
| The Stereo Times Coda S5.5 amplifier just posted today. Thanks guys It seems like the Coda gear is to amps is what Harbeth is to speakers, plus bass. My CSIB was very detailed and easy to listen to, did nothing wrong. I just always prefer tubes over time. Nice pitch for Stereo Times and Coda. | |
| Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker? @Soix, it reminds me of all the Woods Hole Scientists that designed their own homes built in the 70's. Today you just scratch your head and ask why. | |
| Starting my showroom again The model that seems to work is a retired guy with some bucks and a passion to have gear around. Write off a portion of the house, be able to buy larger lots and sell off the dogs as "demos". Use the internet to meet audiophiles, cross dealership ... | |
| Please talk me out of buying the Avalon Eclipse It's an old speaker. You can likely do better but if you like the signature of the speaker you will be okay. If you are unsure you got a heavy casket on your hands. You're going to need a good amount of clean power to drive them too. Good luck! | |
| Thoughts: Mofi Sourcepoint 888 vs Fyne Audio 501sp? @davegh I'd agree with your assessment. At times when listening to music that demanded a certain level of grunge or not "pretty" as used above they struggled. It depends what you are after but for a $6k you can do better. | |
| Subwoofers - Final Thoughts with Martin Logan ESL 13A The one thing I like about the Rel is that you can potentially hook it up and use it as support when watching movies. Is this an option with the SVS 16? Does this mean finding s radio shack to rig some connection? I should add that I just have a ... | |
