| Hybrid amps that can play 1 ohm loads Maybe Blue Circle? | |
| Speaker match with Pass Labs XA-160 Boa2, Now I am a little confused.Understanding that it is always difficult to describe sound, I don't put:"dry, incisive, neutral"...in the same family as "liquid", palpable,warm musical, natural, wonderful, fabulous, gorgeous, I love it, let's ru... | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? I vote to overlook your wiring faux pas, as long as you don't tell anyone that I once installed a 300B tube incorrectly. Boom boom, out goes the amp! | |
| Are the Klipschorns mainly for Classical music ?? If you have the original crossovers in those 78 K-horns, the caps are surely as dry as the Atacama Desert, making the speakers sound thin and edgy. Doing the mods (re-wiring with silver, updating the crossovers, installing the horn/tweeter kit fro... | |
| HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers?? Keep the suggestions coming, please.Call the manufacturer. If that doesn't work, call the piano store. Automotive paint is different than furniture paint, so you'll need different products. | |
| 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... |
