the clue by Sjofn HiFi at RMAF
Arfan.......I too loved the pulsar, but at $7000 they were in a different classification. The Lsa1 statement were exceptional too. There were certain things that were missing(to my ears) but They were overall very musical and had plenty of bass. I... 
the clue by Sjofn HiFi at RMAF
I pretty much hit all the mini-monitors. I was impressed with several of them. I actually did sit and listen to the clues for several songs. They sounded quite good. I'm always happy to see a design that can be used against a wall as that is neces... 
Need your comments on Rythmik subs and others
Martykl and Yakbob......somehow I missed your posts before. Thanks for responding. I guess my biggest problem is how to integrate the a sub and what would be the easiest method. The bandpass sub was very easy to incorporate. I dont know much about... 
Need your comments on Rythmik subs and others
I know that these monitors are notoriously difficult to merge with a subwoofer. thanks Bob and PrpixelPrpixel.....what speakers do you use with the Rythmik sub? 
What of your CD's have good sonics?
Having read all comments and given the subject some thought, I've come to a conclusion about my feelings about this issue. I like to listen to music that sounds good. I'm that way about it when I sit around the house playing guitar. I enjoy the so... 
What of your CD's have good sonics?
Photon....yes it is the same system. Most of my floors are covered in thick rugs with pads. I have blackout roman shades and draperies covering the various windows. I did get a remarkable upgrade with the tube rolling I did. I presume that I proba... 
What of your CD's have good sonics?

What of your CD's have good sonics?
Elizabeth and Energizer. I totally agree with you. It is about the music. BUT.....I am really sensitive to poor sound. It is like scratching a chalk board for me. I couldnt listen to my turntable because it sounded so bad to me. I took it to the d... 
What of your CD's have good sonics?
I bought a Police L.P. a few weeks ago and it sounded so shrill and thin that I'm not sure I can stand to listen to it again. I found a Mark O'conner CD, "Nashville Cats", And it was so thin I couldnt even listen to it and I thought that it would ... 
Amps for KEF ref 101s
Thanks Yogiboy. I'll give the Rogue a look. 
My System....where to start on the upgrade path
Well,I thought I should give you an update on my progress. I had a MAJOR upgrade by tube rolling. I replaced the Electro-Harmonix in my Pathos with 2 Voskhod rocket logo 6h23 cryo'ed tubes. The difference was stunning. I dont know if my EH tubes w... 
Bent Banana Plug
I intend to contact AZ.I was wondering about the resale value, Tvad.I have given some thought to straightening them but am wondering how to flare the middle out. I suppose Icould try to delicately bend it out with a very pointed object. It is that... 
My System....where to start on the upgrade path
The dealer in question is 1600 mi from where I am now, but I think there is one closer. I want to work on my set up, electrical hookup, and tweaks before i give up on these speakers. thanks
