| APL NWO2.5 ? Puremusic - pointing to an APL forum is helpful but in no way is it objective IMO.In my experience, nothing about this hobby is objective. | |
| Which is the best speaker to buy ? If you're determined to upgrade the speakers, I would recommend auditioning as many as you can. Personally, I'd upgrade your source instead. I think you'll get more reward for the effort, and the rest of your system is already very good. Just my t... | |
| The under 10K speaker I want top to bottom clarity, truth, the recreation of an event accurately portrayed in the confines of my living room, just like everyone else?Speaker manufacturers all claim to be after truth and accuracy of the recording. And yet, they all soun... | |
| The under 10K speaker I'm not familiar with the Wilson Benesch ActAudio Visions in SF carries them, and the Von Schweikerts. Both are definitely worth a listen, IMO. As I noted in another thread, the VR4Sr's got progressively better as the dealer moved them from one sy... | |
| Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They? I wasn't all that impressed with the VR4 Sr. when it was only 8KInterestingly, I heard this speaker at a dealer in SF. A friend was considering them as a possible replacement for his VR4Jr's. Frankly, they sounded like...well...BAD. There's no oth... | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 I've heard the 350.5 maybe 10 months ago. If this is not the new .5 series, then no, I've not heard it. Thanks for the alert on that! | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Tboooe, How would I characterize the Pass sound?X-350, X-350.5, X-600, etc. have a similar character to them, as do the preamps and phono stages. To my ear, these are the adjectives that come to mind:incisive, dry, narrow, neutral, ashy, wispy, ai... | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 I heard the XA-160s with Eggleston Works Andra II's. If you like the Pass sound, the XA is a welcome step up from the X-350. More rounded, fluid, altogether more musical. The Andra II's are phenomenally good, the kind of speaker that will stop you... | |
| Best object in your listening room. My wife's custom made horse whip. It hangs on the wall, above the doorway. She bought it from a silversmith (platero) at the San Telmo Craft Fair in Buenos Aires. He hand carved the ornate handle of the whip. The artist invited us to his studio la... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? As good as this unit might be, I would sure want to hear the Meridian 808 Signature Reference ($13.5K) before buying in this price classMy neighbor has one. It sits idle on his shelf, bested by both MBL & Zanden. Yet even with the support of a... | |
| APL NWO2.5 ? Several people have remarked that it noticeably outpaces the NWO-1, which was categorically the most lifelike digital I've heard to date. That includes many of the finest players available. In this hobby, the music becomes the focus when the compo... | |
| McIntosh MA6500 Integrated amp Why do they carry 2 Integrateds with the same power output I wonder?At 8ohms, the MA6500 is 120W, while the MA6900 is 200W. | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... ...there hasn't been anything great that has come out in a long time. For the most part, modern music sounds like a bunch of noise to me.Dad, is that you? | |
| Best rock song of all times "Rocks Off" - Rolling Stones | |
| Bob Dylan finally makes sense.... One things for sure not every word uttered by Dylan should be seen as a statement from on high.Good point. How quickly I forget that I'm having internal dialogue with a journalist, and not directly their source. Wasn't the point of the article to ... |
