| Full range speakers with small footprint? Soliloquy 6.3 | |
| has anyone heard zingali overture 1's? de capo's? To further quantify my comments, I have to say that after hearing the Zingali's on three separate occasions, it was at last the fourth listen that finally grabbed me. This time, in place of the CD player was a Nottingham Spacedeck TT. The sound ea... | |
| McIntosh MA6900 Sensitive to Power Cords? I have Two things in particular have veiled the high end of our system: power conditioners and copper IC's.Don't know if that helps. Good luck. | |
| Norah Jones? Dean,That's the whole point. Norah is pretty. And if she looked like Cameron Mannheim, she'd still be singing Monday nights in the local bar. That special something, the sweetness, the nice energy, even my neighbor Lupe has that. Gorgeous, too!It ... | |
| Z-squared Elite II's and Au/Au interconnects I've had the same experience with their Au/Au IC's. They are more transparent and livelier in our system than the $1600 HT Cyberlight IC's were. They are better than at least 10 other IC's I've tried, pricey one's too! When I say 'better', I mean ... | |
| Norah Jones? Muzak with a voice. Not bad while you're havinga root canal. Or for bridging a couple doses of Prozac. | |
| Best Cd Player under $100,000 Now there's someone who finally understands what I've been saying for a while now. You just can't get good digital playback for less than $80-90K these days. Maybe you could pick up a Burmester for $60K, have it turbo/truth/resurrection modded for... | |
| Concert stage layout -- who made who? Sean, I'm willing to bet that your speakers are exactly ten feet apart. | |
| Concert stage layout -- who made who? Phil Collins is a phenomenal drummer, for sure. His groove on Robert Plant's "In the Mood" is killer.Terry Bozzio is right handed, but plays ambidextrously (sp?). In other words, he can lead with either hand. Simon Phillips does it like no one I'v... | |
| Concert stage layout -- who made who? Grant (Tvad),I gather you must listen to a lot of Genesis, as wellas other bands with left-handed drummers.He he he.... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? Pawlowski,Your analogy is an excellent one, though as a painter I might consider the final product to be made less transparent by a glaze, a glass cover, and a complimentary frame. These ancillary effects are often made present by certain componen... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? The most neutral system is the most musical is the most transparent is the most appealing is the most engaging and is the most everything because WE are the final judge of each. Every time we choose something it isn't because we have access to som... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? Pawlowski,I think that's exactly what has most listeners conclude that XYZ component/cable/system is the "best", because it makes the music sound the way they want to hear it. We are always the litmus test for the system AND the recording. And whe... | |
| What does listening to a speaker really tell us? I may have been misusing the word all along, but when I speak of 'transparency', I'm referring to the amount of information on the disc that is actually conveyed, sort of the opposite of veiled or smoothed over. What I gather is that you are speak... |
