| Just saw the Absolute Sounds 50 Greatest Bargins in Audio Test, not one of their better efforts. I fully agree. I have owned some of them and feel that they are a cut above in their price ranges. It's funny as I always felt I got more out of my Treo's than the other speakers I auditioned under 12k. I ... | |
| Just saw the Absolute Sounds 50 Greatest Bargins in Audio Have heard Alchemy a few times. Sounded very musical. | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers Rock was one of the reasons I got rid of the Maggies quickly years ago. I hear them a lot at friends houses etc... and I still like a lot of rock also. Vocals they are cool, but yea, the Vandersteen's really are versatile | |
| Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers Both great choices. I have owned older Maggies and Apogee's as well. I owned the Treo's while I waited to save the money to upgrade last year. I went with the Quatro's as they took the Treo to another level with the tunable bass. I auditioned ne... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt, we can talk off board tomorrow about this, but in reading I also thought about how else I personally look at things. I also look at the companies and will they be around to support said product in 7 years when it needs help. Not sure about... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under keithr914 posts11-12-2017 1:05amI'd say brands associated with tone include Sonus Faber, Harbeth, Devore Fidelity, Dynaudio, Tannoy, and Zu Audio.I sold my Proacs after many years to get Vandersteen's. Tonality was the number one reason for that.... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD ........and after you have gone thought all of that, just put on a few of your favorite recordings. Are you tapping toes or moving in your seat? Do you forget to listen as a serious reviewer or are you just relaxed and listening for fun? There ... | |
| Personal speaker evolution resurrected thread. Ok, have had the Quatro's hooked up and running for months. What a GRAET speaker. I'm shocked at how good they are for the price. 14k is not that much for higher end speaker and these beat all the 30k plus speakers I've audi... | |
| $1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee agreed. glad u shared. Always good to have feedback on great dealers. Thanks. | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under When Jim Thiel passed, the company was never the same. They aren't making the speakers the way he did. It's just the same name basically. I know a dealer who owned them, sold them, loved them etc.... He has now dropped the line. YMMV | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Most don't have a problem with you naming your store either Jim. That's free advertising, lol....and not pushing etc... :) | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Agree with Tomic. Thanks to all of you guys who served. Very cool. I was friends with everyone on the ship. Being the Repair Office, I had a ball. I was able to help with the fixing of the ship after we collided with that Victor Class, Soviet ... | |
| What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under Helo, yes ignorance is bliss. But how much fun is that? lol. I hate booming bass and that's why there are many speakers even in the highest of end that I don't like. Rear firing woofers are not a problem with proper set up. You'd have to look ... | |
| Dealers hijacking the discussions Yup. You've had a fun set of careers man! For those who don't know, I sold my Basis rig to Tomic this past year. We've talked a bunch and much of it about our hobbies outside of audio. Just another passion for the forums. I"ve gotten to meet ... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD I"ve owned DAC's with both and so far I"ve yet to hear an upsampled that I enjoy. I've heard fairly large (For audio terms) differences. I've had a lot of DAC's in the house too and most are talked about in this forum (not the tube ones other th... |
