| Leben Owners: which speakers do you use? By my previous comment about Devore efficiency, I am of course referring to the 8s and 9s, as opposed to the Orangutans... | |
| Leben Owners: which speakers do you use? I recently heard a Leben 300x paired with Tonian TL-D1s and it was a fantastic combo. IMO, the Devores aren't quite efficient enough to allow the Leben 300x to sing to its full potential when it comes to dynamics and detail. OTOH, the Devores deli... | |
| I NEED a tone control to control bass. Folks,Sorry for the slow response, a glitch has prevented me from posting the past couple of days. At any rate, thanks for all the responses, it's nice to know that a lot of you can relate. I have indeed thought about introducing a subwoofer into ... | |
| ImportCDs Looks like ImportCDs may soon be out of business, given that Amazon just pulled out of California over the sales-tax issue. Too bad, I always had good experiences with them. | |
| Who is your overall favorite guitarist? I don't think I've ever heard anything quite as mind-blowing as "La Fabulosa Guitarra de Paco de Lucia," an album which he recorded quite early in his career in the mid- to late-60s. Not just technical fireworks, but technical fireworks blazing wi... | |
| RIP Gil Scott-Heron You will not be able to stay at home, brotherYou will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out | |
| Art Blakey, king of the drums. Orpheus - aside from what Lee Morgan did with Blakey, all I've got is "Sidewinder," "Leeway" and "Procrastinator" - have been curious about "Search for the New Land" for a while, just decided to scoop it up on Amazon, your Mingus comment sold me..... | |
| Different between Shindo Masseto & Monbrison Pres I haven't studied which tubes each uses, but I can tell you there's definitely a difference in sound, with the Masseto being an indisputable step up. I'd agree completely with Sibelius - the "not better or worse, just different" principle may appl... | |
| Art Blakey, king of the drums. Orpheus - I'd have a hard time saying you and his many enthusiastic fans are wrong. Did some listening yesterday with this question in mind, and a lot of the time he makes Miles sound academic by comparison - a guy who, I've often felt, sounds int... | |
| Worst record ever? "Steel Wheels" by The Rolling Stones"Tug of War" by Paul McCartney"Trans" by Neil Young | |
| Art Blakey, king of the drums. Not the first to observe this, I know, but is there anything else quite like the way Lee Morgan's trumpet solo comes screaming out of the gate in "Moanin""? it gets me every time.As for Mr. Blakey - it must be said he just swings bigger and badder... | |
| Tekton Design Lore Paul - another great review as usual. On the comparison of the Lores with the TL-D1s, was wondering if you could comment at all on the relative efficiency of each speaker? I thought it was a little odd when I read a comment that Eric recommends an... | |
| Decware - any substance here? Would anybody be able to relate experiences comparing Decware amps to Almarro? | |
| DeVore Orangutan O/96 Hi All,Back from a bunch of sun, beers and barbecue, let me see if I can answer all your questions.I do believe 20 x 14 sounds about right as for the size of the room, and the Orangutans were placed along the long wall, fairly close to the wall - ... | |
| DeVore Orangutan O/96 I'd actually like to amend my previous post - I think the Orangutans came across as a little bass-heavy in that room only on certain recordings. I remember this being the case with a couple of rock albums. But I also remember a Bill Frisell record... |
