| Celestion SL6S @kb54 well, I can tell you that I had one of those spooky experiences over the weekend. The highs are still rolled off, more than I remember, when I owned them years ago. All I know is that the soundstaging, midrange, and even the bass (it wasn’... | |
| Celestion SL6S I haven’t tried other cables; however, I would say my cables are fairly neutral. My USB cable from the MacBook to the DAC is an audioquest coffee. The interconnect, power cables, and speaker cables are DIY Helix Image. I would say they are extr... | |
| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? @rankaudio i bought the speakers because of all the reviewers. Perhaps, mine had something wrong with them… i really wanted to like them. Like I said, they did a lot that I liked, and liked a lot; however, I’m a big fan of speakers with a littl... | |
| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? Sorry folks, I forgot to look back at this thread. The KLH’s were powered by a Rega Elicit-R. Typically, some think the bass on the Elicit-R is not strong; however, the issue I had with them is the midrange. I listened to some DeVore Fedility spe... | |
| Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5? I bought the KLH Model 5’s. I’m sending them back as they didn’t meet my expectations. I recognized the positives of the speaker (reviewers have talked about the positives); however, the negatives were far worse than I can handle. The negative,... | |
| Rega Elicit-R One other question about the Elicit-R... what is the wire that's connected to the inside top cover? | |
| You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which? For me, it would be Rega and Macintosh. Rega offers affordable to very good quality. Also, they have a complete offering. For the high-end, Macintosh is a complete line as well, maybe minus speakers. The only thing missing is a very speaker li... | |
| Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee? Some of these audio stores are boutiques. I think if you are considering a charge to listen, you probably should go to an appointment only business. That way, you can filter out people that are tire kickers and deal mostly with buyers by asking ... | |
| Rega Elicit-R The amp is definitely hotter on the left side. I opened the top and slid it to the right by about 3 inches. From the board, the Elicit-R has a wire that connects to the Top Plate. I’m not sure what this does, so, I haven’t unhooked it to take the ... | |
| Rega Elicit-R I plan on it; however, I’m hoping to get a service manual ready in case they don’t have one.BTW, when I open the top, I never get shut downs anymore. | |
| Thiel Owners Brett, thanks for the reply. So, I'm hearing an overall lightness in the sound. Are you saying that a much more powerful amp will fill in the weight in the mid-bass? | |
| Thiel Owners Ok, I’m not getting the excitement for Thiel speakers. I’m listening to some CS1.2’s and find them to be extremely light sounding. Absolutely no bass whatsoever...I do recognize the sounstaging is very good; however, they have no meat on the bon... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? Atmosphere... perhaps we are saying the same thing. My point was: people like the sound the way they like it. Class type, distortion signature, or whatever really doesn’t make a difference if someone likes the sound they have.I’ve never listened t... | |
| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? You know... I can enjoy music in a bunch of ways. Hell, I’ve beat the steering wheel of a rental car when listening to a great song.yes, a great system, whatever the make-up, is going to sound better than a rental car stereo; however, come on fol... | |
| Integrated Amps - another thread... I appreciate all the recommendations. Most everyone of them, I’ve done some type research to better understand features, etc...at this point, being that I like the Rega sound, I’m going to spend more time on their products until I figure I need t... |
