| OTL recommendations for 105+ sensitivity horns I use Ralph's latest S-30 Mk III with my Audiokinesis Planetarium Betas (96 dB, near flat 16 ohm impedance), and absolutely love it. Noise is essentially non-existent. | |
| Mapleshade boards under speakers Chas,I recently purchased new speakers (Audiokinesis Planetarium Betas) to replace my SoundLabs. Now, the Planetariums are superb, but I found that I was missing some of the height dimension in the soundstage. The solution was to raise the main sp... | |
| Review: Audiokinesis Planetarium Beta Speaker Fair enough, and a good definition on an individual basis. I suspect the fact Duke's box speakers compete with dipole/bipole soundfield must have something to do with Duke's attention to wide even dispersion...Uh, you did catch the fact that they ... | |
| Review: Audiokinesis Planetarium Beta Speaker Shadorne,I'm not sure "better" is the correct word. I've traded one set of strengths for another, but at the end of it all, I am quite happy with the choice. Because of my personal biases, typical box speakers don't do it for me over the long haul... | |
| Review: Audiokinesis Planetarium Beta Speaker Slipknot,Yes, one of the 'audio buddies' I referred to in the review has purchased a set (an early version, at a big discount) for the Eros. I've not yet heard it, but I trust his judgment. He says it sounds great. Last I heard, the SWARM system (... | |
| Seeking suggestions for Preamp Correct, no remote on the Messenger. | |
| Seeking suggestions for Preamp That last message was referring to The Messenger. Not sure why it dropped the first line. My apologies. | |
| Seeking suggestions for Preamp Absolutely the best preamp I have ever heard, bar none.Disclaimer: My Messenger is presently up for auction. You can be DAMN sure that I wouldn't be parting with it if I didn't have to. | |
| NILS LOFGREN - ACOUSTIC LIVE ever make Vinyl As far as I'm aware, Nils Lofgren has not had an album on vinyl since 1992 ("Just a Little"). "Acoustic Live" is definitely one of his best, both musically and sound-wise. | |
| Gradient Woofer for ESL 57 Ggavetti,I have Duke's Planetarium Beta system. The SWARM subs are superb, and I believe they would be a great match for your 57s. Pitch definition is really quite extraordinary. The sub units themselves are quite small, with an 11" X 11" footprin... | |
| Best tube pre-amp Edge NL12.1 under $4K used? Hi Rick,I would give the Aesthetix Janus my highest recommendation at that price point. It is superb.Mike | |
| AudioKinesis Auditorium Beta - First Impressions Clio9,I believe you're right regarding the source of the drivers. > At CES they were not being used with the SWARM (VRS room) and as such bass suffered.If this was the case, they certainly weren't being auditioned in the best light. My rough es... | |
| AudioKinesis Auditorium Beta - First Impressions I'll post new system photos when I get the opportunity. Meanwhile, here's a link to some discussion and to Duke's 'stock' pictures. Mine is the Beta system.http://www.audiocircle.com/circles/index.php?topic=60103.msg535406 | |
| AudioKinesis Auditorium Beta - First Impressions > I sure dont get the Ayre,S 30 II swapkey words from the initial post: "not entirely voluntarily". In other words, this is largely a financial decision.Having said that, the Planetariums are 96 dB efficient. The MX-Rs would have been serious o... | |
| AudioKinesis Auditorium Beta - First Impressions PLANETARIUM Beta, not Auditorium. A true senior moment. Sorry, Duke! |
