B+W 801D
No BS I tell it like it is. To these ears, B&W is not a musical speaker. I am a professional violinist and hear real music every day. As you pointed out, I am consistent in my opinion. Now I look at this post of yours and I then ask myself: wh... 
B+W 801D
06-15-09: MaineiacI want to hear from objective listeners.=I want to hear from people that agree with my purchase plan. Maineiac (System | Threads | Answers) NO, I am asking for objective assessments NOT emotional( I've got an axe to grind) ones .... 
B+W 801D
Stringreen You stated "I had them...fuzzy mids and lows, poor soundstage. I had to replace the tweeters a few times." In one thread you said you owned the 802D and didn't like them. Now you say you owned the 801D also and basically kick the crap o... 
HELP B&W 802D or Revel Ultima Salon2
I can't understand why people knock a good speaker/amp/cdp etc etc. It is fine to say it is not your cup of tea but statements by people like Mtdking are simply ridiculous.In one thread he states how esoteric cdps are at the bottom of the pile and... 
New B&W
I have owner B+w matrix 801 series 3 , nautilus 802 , nautilus 805S , 804S and now 803D . The 803D is easily the best of the bunch. 
Anyone heard the new Focal Grande Utopia EM?
Highend audio is well on the way to pricing themselves in to extinction.I am thinking of pulling the plug entirely as it is simply becoming absurd. 
Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature
Totem uses dynaudio and seas drivers and not cheap chinese drivers as Ttowntony stated... Totem’s attention to detail does not end with the cabinetry. The Model 1 Signatures use Totem-modified 5" Dynaudio woofers and 1" SEAS aluminum tweeters. The... 
Does anyone out there NOT hear a difference in CD
I certainly hear differences but they are small.As audiophiles we tend to really over exaggerate small changes. Also the rest of the system has to be up to the task.A top notch preamp is an absolute must as well as resolving speakers.A good preamp... 
Sim Audio Super Nova owners - comments
Well when the supernova first came out I spoke to Costa at simaudio. His words were sound wise " The supernova is 85% of the eclipse". Maybe he has cheanged his mind now that the eclipse is no longer offered. The eclipse is a very good player. The... 
Esoteric X-01 limitted or Meridian 808?
Tbooe Was the much difference between the esoteric x-03 and the p-03/d-05 combo? 
B&W 802D vs. Sophia and
Lihifi I noticed in another thread you stated this is now your third straight set of Wilson's.Some seem to love the Wilson sound while others hate it but then again B+W gets the same thing.What were the other 2 sets of Wilson's? 
Esoteric SA-10 SA-60
I never had any reliability issues with the MF5. It had alot of phasing issues I guess would be the best way to describe it. The imaging seemed to be all over the place. Other owners I talked to confirmed my findings. Perhaps their other products ... 
Esoteric SA-10 SA-60
I used to own a MF A5 .What a load of marketing hype on that ting. Don't walk away from this unit , instead run as far and as fast as you can from it. 
Comparison Cary 306, Wadia 581, EMM Labs CDSA
Zeiman I have been following a number of threads in regards to the emmlabs, esoteric and marantz units I am interested in. When I read your comments regarding emmlabs I keep thinking you are a competitor( either directly or indirectly), atleast th...
