| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @hilde45 , Thanks for drawing my attention to the video. There is a lot of information there. After one viewing, I really like this company's approach and intend to watch the video several more times. They seem to have systematically addressed ... | |
| Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3 I drive Coincident Super Victory II speakers in a similar sized room with the M-60 and they do not break a sweat. The most important thing with the M-60s is a high impedance speaker that presents a benign load. My speakers are really 12 Ohm that... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @hilde45 I agree regarding the desirability of having the manufacturers actually get down into the grass with consumers on the physics and their engineering answers to the physics. Unfortunately, their first task is to retain a competitive edge i... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @hilde45 and @mapman . To the points you have made above. I did not include vibrations transmitted to the speakers that have its origins outside the confines of the listening room as a 4th type of kinetic motion because the medium through whic... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) @cd318 Thanks for confirming that my thought process is not utter lunacy. It's been 50 years since my last physics course, so I am a bit rusty on some of this stuff. Maybe this is why some companies, Magico comes to mind, go to seemingly absur... | |
| Experience with Townshend Seismic Podiums on Concrete Floor (they're great) This is a really interesting subject, and one that my own personal experience has taught me ought not to be ignored. I am more than a little surprised that @hilde45 experienced the magnitude of improvement that he did, given that he is working w... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @charles1dad you have never, ever, taken an overly dogmatic position on any of your posts that I can recall. I did not misunderstand your comments. I hope no one has misunderstood mine. In actual fact, I agree that SET is quite capable of de... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version Boy, there is some real wisdom in the above comments by @realworldaudio ! For most of us, our first experience hearing the low frequency component of music was sitting in our buddies 8x10 bedroom listening to Jack Bruce's electric bass with Ginge... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @charles1dad, the 6SN7 benefits from economy of scale. More designers use the tube because they are cheap and readily available, and demand for the tube motivates more manufacturers to offer the tube, which in turn drives the price of the tube do... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version My experience with the Psvane WE tubes has paralleled that of @charles1dad. As background, back in about 2014, I purchased a pair of Psvane Hifi series 101Ds. They were a major step up from the only other current production tube available at tha... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @charles1dad Thanks for your kind words, my friend. The CSL can be a superb foundation for anyone not needing a full function preamp. Stunningly good is the right descriptor. I'm still toying with getting the latest update. | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @sim_audio_nerd I think you are wise in exercising caution here. I've been a customer of Coincident for over a decade now, and still own two pair of Coincident Speakers, the CSL, and the Frankenstein Monoblocks. Obviously, I have a deep appreci... | |
| Lyngdorf 3400 flexibility vs 1120 @bob52r I guess my point was that I personally would not put much money into audio if I knew I was going to move from an apartment to a house. I would wait until I found the house, then build a system around the particular room constraints (if th... | |
| New Coincident Frankenstein 300B Stereo Version @sim_audio_nerd I own Coincident SVII speakers and still own the Frankenstein monos. However, I found that the Franks just didn't really have the guts to do justice to the SV's. My room is about 14' x 20' x 8' and I do listen to a fair amount ... | |
| Lyngdorf 3400 flexibility vs 1120 @bob52r I am a Lyngdorf fan. I own a 2170 which has made my living room system more than adequate in a room with miserable acoustics. I've helped 2 of my children assemble 2170 based systems in rooms that are less than ideal. The 2170, and I pr... |
