| A deeper more holographic soundstage. roxy, you really need to give more info on your room and speaker placement. While, yes, the recording has much to do with how much depth can be reproduced, speaker placement is the single biggest thing that will re-create what is on the recording... | |
| Speaker upgrade for classical music As much as I have enjoyed Magnepans in the past, they have several limitations for the OP. For one, they are very demanding of amplification. This has been documented ad nauseum so I won’t get into that.More critically, they inflate the image and ... | |
| Frail and Bedazzled I have had a similar recent experience. So glad I never tossed my vinyl. Never understood the black and white debates over formats however. Each can sound wonderful. Each can sound dreadful. Merry Christmas. | |
| And a happy Festivus to all! Guess what Seinfeld episode was aired tonight?!?! | |
| Where can Open Baffle speakers be placed bad idea. this would defeat what OB speakers are all about. Minimum of 2-3 feet suggested. | |
| And a happy Festivus to all! Don't we all.For me, personally, it's all about the feats of strength. | |
| Do speaker wires matter Had a pair of Mirage M-5si. A Rotel 990 power amp drove those to good effect (into 4 ohms was putting out well over 300wpc) Phenomenal room lock in the bass from two 6.5 inch woofers! The mirage speakers were clearly voiced on the dark side so ... | |
| Single Track that's worth the price of Admission @millercarbon Thanks for pointing that out--sadly no. Maybe I ought to spring for the LP set. Just not sure if my analogue rig is "worthy." Perhaps it is given the amount of enjoyment I have had as of late. | |
| Single Track that's worth the price of Admission @twoleftears thanks for the link-beautiful!@ebm in a bit of a scroogish mood? Come on now.@millercarbon thanks for the suggestion. You won't be upset if I get the sacd or gold cd version will you!? | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? This might take more effort but if you ceiling is low, it may be tempting to suspend several panels off reflection points on your ceiling. I would suggest hanging them 4-6" off the ceiling. Any panel will work more efficiently if you allow space... | |
| Dynaco PAT 4 Pre-Amp ....Why is it Bashed?? Built one of those many many years ago along with an ST-150 power amp. The PAT-4 was Dynacos first foray into solid state preamps and as such it lacked refinement that the later released PAT-5 had. The PAT-4 initially received some good reviews ... | |
| I bought some Owens Corning 703. Now what? Would be helpful to know the details of your room--dimensions, speaker/seat position, etc. | |
| What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs? I might consider an Audio Note EL34 kit. Loads of quality parts, single pair of el34 tubes, from what I have read quiet as a graveyard. Bet it would be a great match and a blast to build if you enjoy that type of thing. They occasionally have sa... | |
| Tekton Electron SE Glad the SE's have worked out for you. I called B&W the other day and requested a Be tweeter. Ya wanna know how that went!?One of the great things about Tekton in the huge number of options you have. And not having to waste audio dollars o... | |
| How I'd spend money given no limits Sounds like a road to being truly unhappy. |
