| Grilles or No Grilles At the latest RMAF, I would say that in the neighborhood of 90 percent of the speakers there were presented with the grills off. This was irregardless of whether they came with a grill or not. There were some exceptions. I have previously owned a ... | |
| New Magico Speaker the Q3 There are several ways to make sure that the threads will not come apart. There is a type of Loctite that WILL NOT come apart unless it is heated. Another method is to physically stake the first thread of each fastener. This is an actual physical ... | |
| Who is the KING of MONOS? The OP stated it several times, the first of which was in his first post on 12/6. The stated requirement was 500 to 1000 watts, with those greater than 1000 watts to be done later. I am waiting with much anticipation as this current thread has bee... | |
| Im putting together a system and need help I am not too familiar with your preamp choices. If you could find a Classe CP 35 it should be in your budget and should be plenty good to get you by. I have previously owned the Paradigm Servo 15 V1 which would fall well within your budget and is ... | |
| Transmission Line Bass I own or have owned 2 TL systems. Both produce bass of very high caliber IMO. The speakers are the Intuitive Design Summit (no longer own) and the Fried C3/L monitors with Fried D2 subs currently in a second system. Both the C3/L and the D2 are TL... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? One thing to keep in mind is in show conditions, the speakers were not listened to with the same tracks and on the same day. I listened to the Vandersteens on Saturday. I listened for about a half hour. I did not find them overly bright. I think t... | |
| Any Legacy Focus SE owners out there ? How big is your room? I own the SE's. The number I kept hearing from other owners was around the 300 hour mark for break in. Mine took somewhat longer than that (I'm guessing 450-500 hours) to really come into their own. My room at 13.5 x 17.5 x 8... | |
| Vandersteen Model 7: has anyone heard? I attended RMAF and felt the ARC/Vandersteen 7 room was one of the best at the show. Incredibly musical and with no weaknesses that I could hear. One of the few rooms I could have stayed in for hours on end. The only room I clearly liked better wa... | |
| Current Inexpensive sub that can get it done cheap If you don't mind buying used, there is a Paradigm Servo 15a with x30 crossover for sale now that would definitely fill the bill. No association with the seller. | |

| KCI Silkworm+ VS Gabriel Gold interconnects Again, as Tvad stated the differences between GG and KCI are subtle. My preference was for the Silkworm based on what I described as the differences above. These are MY observations in MY system and may not apply to you, your system or your prefer... | |
| KCI Silkworm+ VS Gabriel Gold interconnects I should have ended my last post with IMO. It was certainly the case to my tastes and in my system with the cables I mentioned. | |
| KCI Silkworm+ VS Gabriel Gold interconnects I have owned both Silkworm and currently own Silkworm+. I have also owned the GG Revelation Mk1. I have never heard MK2 or rapture. Both will do what you are looking for as Tvad says. I found the mids and highs of the GG slightly more forward than... | |
| Contact Cleaner Recommendations?? Bought some of the Kontak cleaner and it works as others here have described it. Pretty surprising how dirty most of my connections were. It's been a while since I've cleaned them. I would describe the difference as noticeable and very much worthw... | |
| Ribbon speakers Several others not mentioned already include the LSA 1 statement, Salk HT 1, Legacy Studio HD (as well as the mentioned Victoria LE). JM Reynaud makes a ribbon monitor that I heard at a show once that was really nice but I don't remember the model... |
