| Joseph Audio Pulsar? Goldprint Audio (see above). Not sure if he still has them or not. | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... First - and please accept my apologies - I have to correct numerous spelling errors. It's Laphroaig. Nasty one to remember, I admit.For those who do love and/or admire this fine whisky, I might suggest an Ardbeg Uigeadail. I opened this up last we... | |
| Sota+SME IV=Ugh !!! I hesitate to answer you since I will be putting both of these cartridges up for sale in the near future, but quite honestly, either would fit your stated needs. These are the Benz H2 or Soundsmith's The Voice. The Benz is the more 'lush' of the t... | |
| Great Monitors Joseph Audio Pulsar ? I'll toss in my two cents regarding Taylor of Goldprint Audio. You won't go wrong dealing with him. Sabai, do a search on his company name. You'll find him. | |
| Maggie owners opinions wanted I agree with tpreaves, although I don't believe I would have used that particular language. Regardless, you say that you lived with a damaged panel for a full year? I don't get it. | |
| Great Monitors Joseph Audio Pulsar ? The Pulsars are truly outstanding. I owned a pair for about 4 months, using them with a pair of subs, and with digital crossover and room correction courtesy of Lyngdorf. I've owned many fine speakers over the past 40 years, up to and including So... | |
| Best single-malt Scotch... I lived in Scotland for 6 years, and developed quite a taste for fine single malts. Now, I'm personally partial to the smokier Islays, particularly Ardbeg. I recently had a nice long visit to several of the distilleries and questioned them about p... | |
| Exceptional value in speakers today? LSA1 Standard monitors right at $1K new retail. I use their Statement models in my home theater. Outstanding value for money, in my opinion. | |
| Pre-amp suggestions for Thiel 2.4/Pass Labs XA30.5 Modwright LS 100 with built-in phono stage would be a possibility. It is a true value, as are all of Dan Wright's designs. | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Those photos are slightly misleading because my listening position is only about 18' from the front wall. This is where I find the optimal balance of soundstage, imaging, and impact.I wouldn't doubt that there's a greater effect with poorer rooms,... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? > With a room that size, it's no wonder you'd want to go from the Pulsar (stand-mounted 2-way) to the Perspective (dual-woofer floorstander).Well now, to be fair, I was using the Pulsars with a pair of excellent subs below 70 Hz. But you're qui... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Agear,I have a good room to start with. It's quite large at 32' X 15' X 9' (avg...it's vaulted). Room corners are complex since this is over my garage. The biggest factor is the Lyngdorf RP-1, using their RoomPerfect system. I would not even consi... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? All right, and for what it's worth, some of you have given me a few things to think about. I will be keeping the VAC at least until I receive the Perspectives next week. They will be installed, and I'll then conduct a shoot out between the VAC, th... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? > The point is, the electronics play no role. I did not say this, so I'm assuming it represents your own point of view? I simply said that the electronics are of relatively lesser importance.If you ever have the opportunity to substitute one si... | |
| Upscaling Speakers, Downscaling Amp...What to Do? Rok2id,You are absolutely correct - speakers, their placement, and the room in which they are housed have the largest effect on soundstage. However, amps and preamps certainly play a significant part in soundstage reproduction. Tube gear is famous... |
