| PMC vs. ATC You're right Brizon, we're all in collusion against you. Stereophile is out to get you too.You've gotta check out Audio Asylum. I can just imagine you and RGA going at it!Happy 7 day anniversary as an Audiogon member :-). | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? How can a speaker be slow and dry? They are opposites. Slow = big bloated bass with little damping. Dry = fast bass which is lean so sounds light. For amps, Naim gear is dry, Unison gear is slow. | |
| PMC vs. ATC I have listened to ATC active 10's, 20's and 100's in people's homes. They are definitely not bright with rock music let alone "nails on a chalkboard". Thiels, Triangle, B & W, Energy, Monitor Audio - these are bright speakers. With Naim pre a... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons So what makes a time and phase coherent 1st order speaker better than a single driver design like Jordan JX92s or Fostex F200A? Jordan has NO crossover, no components in the signal path to create distortion, no driver blending problems, etc. etc.S... | |
| PMC vs. ATC Active ATC's have plenty of bass and are not bright. Passive ATC sound pleasant but really do not show what ATC is capable of. | |
| PMC speakers vs B&W... has anyone compared? Nautilus euphonic HUH???? More like analytical and if anything mechanical sounding. Nautilus have precision soundstaging and disappear almost as well as small monitor speakers. Nautilus produces a wall of sound and pressurize small room quit well.... | |
| Monitors under $1500? Amphion has $1,295 speaker amazingly low distortion and was Soundstage award winner. | |
| Fostex based speakers: Cain Abby or Omega Super3R Restock, drivers with a whizzer cone are not single driver speakers. They are 2-ways with a mechanical crossover. I'm not trying to fault anyone who likes the sound and high efficiency of the whizzer cone drivers. Fostex also makes true single dri... | |
| Breaking in a new amp Saw an ad with a smashed Naim amp on the concrete caption was:"Sorry, I did'nt catch your Naim".Ooppppps you said break-in not break. | |
| Best bargain integrated amp? Portal Audio Panache designed by Nelson pass (?) or Musical Fidelity X-150. | |
| Do you remember your first cd? Liquid Liquid because the dealer couldn't get it on tape. Now it's worth $100. First and last time I made money in hi-fi. | |
| Trelja in New York - 2005 WHAT??? I thought the show was the end of May. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? ATC active 100's. Can any passive speaker equal active speaker technology? It's been almost 3 years - still the best speaker I've heard. | |
| Epos M12 Vs. M12.2 The "politically correct" reviews say the 12.2 is more clear, extended, detailed fromwhat I remember. WhatHiFi? always bashed original M15 for it's "airless" presentation. But what did they use for amplification? The original series sounded perfec... | |
| Mackie HR824 From what? They have plenty of deep punchy bass. Some unpleasant resonances and harmonics make sound somewhat fatiguing. Sound is not smooth, partly because monitors are supposed to be revealing, partly from poor design. I thought they were bright... |
