| Talon Loudspeakers Mr. Crazy, you don't need to invent any new language, because you can't even use English, no offense. I knew you couldn't articulate any descriptive phrases for this speaker, and I am now laughing heartily at you. Thanks so much, I needed a good c... | |
| Some of the biggest audio places carry.. I like MIT with my Krell and Maggies, very much. MIT doesn't really just "smooth" per se, it resolves more dynamic contrast than any other cable, period. I mean that...show me another cable that is more dynamic (that is, there is more loudness dif... | |
| Talon Loudspeakers TO ANY TALON OWNER: I am curious...Tell me, in audio journalistic jargon, exactly what any Talon speaker does better than the competition...and name your idea of that competition. Also, be up front with your listening biases. | |
| Best speakers for 2500....thump included Paragon Acoustics Radiant ($2950), down to 40Hz, and then use the powered subwoofer of your choice (a VERY powerful one if you have a large room). Then you'd have perhaps 15 Hz extension, and more dynamic capability in the bass than any "full rang... | |
| home made speaker cable vs. the big boys JMLabs makes their own speakers, and are the parent company of Focal (not that Focal are the "best"). My MIT stuff destroyed your power cord, Kacz, no offense. I already have two frontends better than yours, and my system will destroy yours with 1... | |
| Is SACD really this lousy? Let's hope that consumers just happen to agree with you...perhaps if the retail price of each title were lowered to match that of CD (and also if more than merely a couple of labels released titles in the format), we would see if this format can g... | |
| Most cost effective room treatment? You must damp all first reflections, even the AES standard room assumes that these are damped. I enjoy ASC traps very much, and they're as "cost effective" as most anything in this hobby, if indeed anything is so. I also augment secondary and comp... | |
| Best speakers for near-field listening? I've had MMG's for over 4 years, and can definitely say that they do NOT work at such close distance (6 or 7 feet minimum, the planar emissive surface is very large compared to small cone speakers, and each driver panel does not sum in phase at cl... | |
| PowerSnake Owners Unite! Tom, thanks, and yes, you could play your drums, no prob. My brother has dabbled in that too. I think I'll try aaudio.com, and then if that doesn't work, the FIM site (I thought it might be the same a First Impression Music, but wasn't sure...I gu... | |
| PowerSnake Owners Unite! Brulee, who sells these FIM cords? Only Avalon dealers? I simply must try whatever the latest new cord thingie happens to be...Have you compared this $1200 model to the Synergisitc Reference Coupler on a power amplifier (either tube or ss), per ch... | |
| Montana speakers? Bookner, the midwoofers in the Pipedreams are around $50 a piece, so unless you are talking some radically high cost for cabinet construction (and of course getting world class finishing with veneer is nothing to smirk at either), then yes indeed ... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! I'll try to calm down some, then..."Back in the day", my brother and I built a lot of speaker cabinets out of plywood. They filled his bedroom. We built some for me about 11 years ago, and they now have Electrovoice 1000 watt woofers, and Eminence... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! No, not logical enough, F. You singled me out, after I already said that I didn't want to discuss it. I demand to know the real reason...If this is a pissing contest, so be it. Unless you are Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, I'm not scared o... | |
| Resolution Audio Vs. Wadia I've not compared my CD50 to an 860x or 861, 862, 863, 356, or 911, but if somebody will bring one by my place, I'll be happy to do it (especially the 911). I don't expect the CD50 to lose, but I suppose there's a slim chance that it might (not to... | |
| The BEST system you've ever built !!!! Why don't you come to the logical conclusion that you don't need to discuss me or my system? Why does this keep happening to me? As someone has told me recently, in another context, "Ohh, I never seen the like". I hate to be the cause of yet anoth... |
