I have a pair of the Tekton open baffle speakers, these are the ones with the 4.5" driver on the front face (baffle) and second driver of the same design on the back cabinet facing upwards and I had Tekton add a tweeter to the front baffle based o... | |
| Headphones--The Grado sound in a closed design? Have custom wood covers made for your grados! I was drpping off a pair of headphones I sold to guy who was a real collector of phones and amps and I wanted to experience some of his cans to see what the best really were. He had a pair, I no longer... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? "So when someone proposes that modern Class D amps just cannot cut it, I have to take that with a major grain of salt. In the right system, they are exactly what the doctor ordered IMHO."I would whole heartedly agree with you on the first part of ... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging Corazon, Maybe your last paragraph explains the differences in sense of staging/imaging/focus better than I could, and much more economically (wordwise).Mapman, I have not had many chances to audition or hear speakers with 12-15 feet behind them (... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? Mapman, Initially upon listening and buying a couple of the class D amps I found that they did most things overall to acceptable levels and felt their performance in most cases was overall quite satisfying.However, in my case, I found that they fe... | |
| Class "D" amp? I do not have a clue. Do you? While I have certainly not tried them all, I have owned and/or listened to a few/several. Actually liked the initial sound, but over time I grew tired of them and was disappointed the more I listened to them. I think, or at least like to think tha... | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging MBL and other omnidirectional speakers can present huge sound stages. I have spent a fair amount of time with the mbl and would agree completely with mapman's comments as to the overall stage size.It should be noted though that this is definately ... | |
| Audio Research LS-16 Mk2 vs LS-17 preamp Mapman, I have no doubt that your SP16 was an excellent value. I do not suggest for a moment that the SP16 is not an excellent preamplifier and one that many, many audiofiles could completely enjoy. I was just trying to clarify for other viewers t... | |
| rel with monoblocks Bdgregory, I had no problem with my Rel and my B&K 507 S2 or with my CJ 5-channel amp.I think the Rel's are great Subs (regardless of price comparisons to others) and can most highy recommend them. It was disconerning to me when I would run in... | |
| rel with monoblocks Bdgregory, I have hooked it up exactly as you have suggested, both with two mono amps and with dual mono/dual differntial stereo amps and the end result has been the same for me every single time - that is crossed channels (ie. left signal also go... | |
| Audio Research preamp LS vs SP There is more of a difference between the SP and LS than just the fact that one has a phono and the other not.A good reference site is the ARC database site for looking at the history of their products. This site has a strange address and reads "w... | |
| Audio Research LS-16 Mk2 vs LS-17 preamp Mapman, I contacted ARC about 1 year ago when I was looking at new/used preamps and to inquire about this specifically. I was told that the SP 16 v LS 16 are two different build levels/qualities and that the linestage portion of the LS 16 exceeds ... | |
| Conrad Johnson MF-5600A Opinions I used to own this amp for the reason of getting the CJ sound in a multi channel system.Like I have found with every other multi-channel amp I have tried (that being a fair number), performance is not as good as the two channel or mono amp alterna... | |
| Shipping from US to Europe, best company? Bax Global. I shipped Wilson Speakers to Hong Kong, arrived the next day and it cost about $400-500. The downside is that you need to be able to set up a commercial account (so if you own your business) that shouldn't be a problem. | |
| Speaker Recommendations for Soundstage and Imaging Have to agree with Fsonicsmith, in many cases adding a sub doesn't improve the performance of the system - though it may give you more bottom end sound.It is very difficult to successfully combine/integrate a sub with many speakers, there is a lot... |
