Tekton- HOT- Pendragon-SE First Impressions
Would he mind telling us what he did and did not like? 
Subwoofer for Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand
I am always curious what is so darn special about REL subs. Jafant is echoing that message. Advertising really does work, obviously.Is REL, so darn on the money with putting out a sound? I really would love to know what makes REL so special. I wil... 
Opposite of Thiel
What does 'eminently musical' mean to you. I know it when I hear it, and I can kind of describe it, but how would you describe it.I can say that I had the Paradigm S6 3 years ago. I did not find them particularly musical or fun. Now I make no secr... 
Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift
I don't want to sound like a 'know it all', although I may at times. Klipsch doesn't spend much on their compression drivers, so tubes will soften the inherent harshness of the mids. Please don't even get me started on the terrible, grainy tweeter... 
Best Amp for Klipsch La Scala Speakers? Xmas Gift
Just curious.....when has Quicksilver Audio ever produced a 300b amp? Just sayin' :) 
Speaker cable advice
While not an affordable cable, talk to David Schulte at The Upgrade Company. His TimePortal speaker cables and interconnects are wonderful.He makes them, and will explain the science behind them as well. 
Serious Soul/Jazz in Church
If you are looking for a loudspeaker......that can reproduce this to your satisfaction....and this may seem trite....but a much more dynamic loudspeaker of your choosing. I have to say that it is hard to choose, but go above 95 dBs. Best of luck:) 
Zu Defintion 1.5 vs Def IV
I often wonder how long it takes in this expensive hobby for people to become tired of the search for 'their' system. I know that I have spent, and lost, a bunch of money in the 3 years since I truly have explored high end audio. Thankfully I ran,... 
Big Step Up from Totem Hawks? 10k Speakers?
Do you have to base your choice on price? I have spent a bunch of money, which I will never get back when I finally sell my bunch of previous speakers, on various types of speakers. All very nice in their own right. I finally became very satisfied... 
Zu Essence owners....your impressions please
hi Ts07011,Yes they sound great to you, and perhaps this is all we will ever achieve in this forum, but what did you like about them, specifically?Does anyone else besides me wish that the highs had more presence? I solve that by using a ribbon tw... 
Zu Essence owners....your impressions please
Markpao, thanks for the second to this. I never want to doubt anyones info, but we all know that way too often that is what becomes necessary. I wish I could hear the other models close to the Essence to understand the difference. I do know that I... 
Zu Essence owners....your impressions please
Morganc, I had not heard that Zu has stopped producing the Essence. May I ask how you heard this news? Just like to confirm sources:)I am finding that I love the FRD sound. Of course, having only listened for 2.5 weeks to my Essence, I may still b... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
A speaker to hang for life is kind of hard if you have the funds to purchase something else, or until you are tired of hearing variations on the same theme. I just purchased a pair of Zu Essence and I am finding them a pleasureable compromise, and... 
Zu Essence owners....your impressions please
Hi Ton1313,Sorry I didn't check this thread earlier. I am using the Musical Design T 100 hybrid amp, along with a McIntosh MCD-500, upgraded by David Schulte of The Upgrade Company. An additional bonus to the MCD-500 is that it has a very nice pre... 
Review of Tekton Pendragon-Se Loudspeaker
Hi Shakey,Thanks for the info. $350!!! That is very reasonable. The Pendragon SE is at the top of my 'lust' list:)
