| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Yamaha MX-2000, sounding piece. | |
| Low damping factor but fast& high current SS amps? It's impossible to determine the amps rise and slew rate (or inherent ringing) from damping factor alone. It would have to be put on a scope and stringently tested. | |
| Is Bass Non-Directional In A Two-Channel Rig? Very low frequencies like 40Hz and below start to become omnidirectional but their harmonic content doesn't, and this makes many woofers localize. I can always tell where a subwoofer is in someones room. I recommend stereo subs unless they are cro... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? Something to keep in mind is conventional driver high end speakers are not compressing the dynamics very much or at all at normal levels, never forget the music was mixed on them to sound dynamically true as a rendition of the studio performance b... | |
| Anyone heard te Sony SS-AR1 Sony's SS-M7 was proclaimed by Barry Willis as a Wilson Audio performance at Vandersteen prices, and I agree. Coincidentally the very woofers used were also used in the Watt/Puppy 5.1 and 7. Each driver was tamber matched for seamless sound. I hav... | |
| Yamaha NS 1000M Find Deal of the year. 50W RMS, 100W musical. Personally, I find or 2 Watts is quite loud on these monitors at 12 feet. These have the cleanest middle range and voice I've heard outside of an electrostatic (which I own), and I've heard a fair number of... | |
| Speakers for Bryston Then we must agree to disagree, as many people on many forums find them lifted on the top, and I have agree with my ears in that respect. | |
| good monitor speaker for a large room Thenis, are you seeking an honest reliable rendition of the signal or a small monitor sized speaker that is easy to listen to? Thanks | |
| Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick? Yamaha CD-S1000, simply the cleanest cdp I've auditioned, and that was compared to many others including the Quad 66 modded, Quad 67, Quad 99 (I really feel this cdp was a step backwards), Rega Saturn, Naim, NAD and the hyped Sony PlayStation to b... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities And I agree, the Quads squash (compress) dynamic range, and most of the music sounds like its at the same level all the time. I know exactly what you mean, not loudness, but rather the CONTRAST between dynamic crescendo and low level passages. SO ... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities To my ears they sound very, very similar in all respects. The 988 was an updated 63 with better electronics. I don't own the 63s but have heard them repeatedly. I have not yet had the chance to hear the 2905, unfortunately. Some people experienced... | |
| Designer Hall of Fame I've come to find many of these "legends" really aren't that inventive or particularly blessed with good hearing. Nelson Pass thinks the Lowther DX and other fullrangers sound good. He felt the one was "a tad grainy on the very top". The drivers a... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Sound Lab A-1PX electrostatics. They sound real. | |
| Speakers for Bryston I'm not a fan of the muddy PMC sound. For the money, it's not for me. I agree with Playpen, the B-100 SST is excellent. I contrast I found the larger Brystons were very bright and screamy to my ears. They are the only amps I've heard (that I can t... | |
| Quad 989/2905 all around qualities As far as the Klipsch La Scala goes, they are very bright, forward and aggressive. Bass is not very deep. They are a power speaker, quantity over quality. With mods they can be very good but for $6000 I'd take the Quad. Legendary Sound Labs are th... |
