| Anyone heard the new VMPS RM30? The midrange on the VMPS 626 is not a ribbon but a planar. It sounds very good to my ears: fast, transparent, detailed. The RM30's sound is quite reminiscent of the 626s, with lots of delicacy, transparency, speed, and naturalness. The sweet spot ... | |
| Naxos, the way to go for classical? If sound quality is your #1 priority, don't limit yourself to only one label--Naxos or any other. Read reviews: magazines, reviews on Auudiogon or other websites (including sites that sell CDs), post questions as to what recordings are best, etc. ... | |
| Has anyone heard th enew Epiphany's?? I don't believe the speakers were well set up. This was confirmed by one of the Epiphany folks on the first day; apparently, they did not have complete control over the placement of the speakers, since they were sharing the cost of the room with t... | |
| Any insights on MBL 101 D Loudspeakers To those who have heard MBLs: How well do you think they do at LOW volumes? The usual knock on highly insensitive speakers, like MBLs or ATC, is that they are not very involving at low volumes and have to be turned up to sound their best. | |
| Are Martin Logans considered polite? Danielk141, I love the extension on my ribbon tweeters--they are better than anything I've yet heard. I'd really like to hear Apogees, and I'd still like to hear Martin Logans with a good amp--maybe a tube amp with good current delivery. | |
| Ribbon tweeters/speakers recommendations Please He must consider the VMPS RM30, which use ribbon tweeters and planar midrange drivers (3 midrange per speaker). Great sounding speakers. | |
| Are Martin Logans considered polite? Every time I've auditioned Martin Logans, I've gone in and wanted to enjoy them...but I've come out with the impression that they are shrill...not polite at all, rather overbearing. Perhaps it was the setup or the amps (Macintosh solid state stuff... | |
| Worlds’ Best High End Loudspeaker Competition/Demo Thanks for the info. It's truly a shame that no one here in the US has both the resources and the courage to do this kind of demo. I would have loved to hear this! | |
| Kudos to Cable Company and Jena Labs Thanks for the nice story. I'm happy to hear that there are people ready to help who get no personal profit from doing so. | |
| Merlin Room at 2004 HE Show in NY I heard both rooms. I enjoyed the clarity and power of the Merlins. The sweet spot was nice and wide too.The Kharmas were truly transparent and disappeared, even when sitting quite close. The term 'tonal colour' comes to mind--the sound was truly ... | |
| Top 3 Best Sounding Room In The HE Show 04' So far: Kharma + Lamm, MBL 101E + MBL electronics, JM Lab Alto Utopia (I don't remember what the amps were; this room was IMO better than either the Nova Utopia or the Grande Utopia).Back tomorrow for more. | |
| Speakers similar to Avantgarde horn I also agree on the Solo comments--they did not charm me at all, while the Unos were very impressive. | |
| Battle of three amps Patrick, your priorities are slightly different from mine (I like transparency and extension above all else) but we've got the same speakers--VMPS 626R. FWIW I'm very satistified right now with my Pass X150.5. The midrange is very natural, and the... | |
| Thiel CS6 / Dali MS4 Haven't heard the Thiels but I listened to the Dali MS4--this is definitely a smooth, forgiving speaker. Not my cup of tea, since I prefer a more transparent and dynamic sound. | |
| Best amps for full range electrostatic loudspeaker Seadogs1, where are you getting your Audiostatics from--here on the Gon? There don't seem to be any USA dealers. |
