| Anyone hear Thiel CS1.6? Apparently, JA's review was based more on measurements than his hearing. He spoke a lot about frequency anomolies which can be measured. I still find it odd how he loved the Revel M20's - maybe due to good measured performance. But if he listened ... | |

| Which cone's or platforms have helped? No problem. Is brass the best cone material? The "theory" is that brass is used in a bell because it rings and allows vibrations to flow through.Not sure about the titanium. I heard the Russians made an entire submarine out of titanium because it ... | |
| What could be instead of side walls? Good points made here. Of less importance, but I would also add that vibrapods are not a stable mounting base for speakers and will allow them to wobble and vibrate more.My speakers seemed to get better once a fixed a short spike and the speaker s... | |
| B&W, Aerial 7B -- my impressions, something off? I have found very few speakers can match B&W wide dispersion and pinpoint imaging. Only narrow baffle speaker like Audio Physic Virgo 3 were in the same ballpark. Maybe the distance between speakers. Try 8 feet or more apart and sit 8-9 feet a... | |
| Amplifier class A/B bias question Elvick, 10% would be 15 watts class A. Probably not - check out the heat sinking on a 30 watt class A Pass amp! | |

| Speaker priority: high or low??? Some speaker problems cannot be fixed no matter how great the amp / CDP are. For example:Box-induced colorations of the Spendor 1/2.Lack of bass in B&W 303's.Ringing in Virgo III's.Lack of correct harmonics in Revel M-20's.Also I've never hear... | |
| Loudspeakers that match well w/Bryston B-60? Bryston / Thiel coild be too bright. My vote would be for Spendors. | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? Speakers come first. Then tweak / upgrade the sound with better amplifier.Of course you can't take this too far because ultra-revealing speakers will show upstream component's faults.Amplification is hard to explain. The differences are subtle but... | |
| Why low sensitivity speakers? I found an article once, can't find it now. It said a high efficiency speaker CANNOT produce deep bass. Eg: Horns. | |

| Which cone's or platforms have helped? Tom nice - what are Neuance shelves made from? I did a search and can't find any info on them.My preference has been for brass or those ceramic like foot sanding stones. I prefer a cleaner sound. Sorbothane seemed to muddy up the sound which I did... |
