| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion @henry201 Like I stated before, if you cannot hear the high frequency issues with a beryllium dome, you are one of the lucky ones. There are a lot of folk who cannot, which is why they are still being utilized in a lot of designs. However, the res... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion @henry201 Sorry that you were offended by my opinion of the Beryllium tweeter. At least you did finally disclose that you own the Magico A5...and so your posts now are more understandable. Oh, and you speak of being juvenile....LOL. | |
| Favorite Platform for Linn LP12 @no_regrets Don, try sourcing a bamboo shelf. This is the newest shelf material for audio that is being used extensively now...and IME using it under a few pieces of gear, it works extremely well! Someone once said that bamboo is nature's carbon... | |
| Favorite Platform for Linn LP12 Don, if you have suspended floors, which do usually cause some issues with most turntables, I would suggest that for your Linn, not only do you look into the Tramp 2, but also a very light stand to sit the table on. Lightweight stands are usually ... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion @henry201 You know what they say about people who make assumptions. I have heard the A3’s and many Rockport models. The A3’s were not impressive. The upstream gear has a lot to do with the speakers presentation, but a hot tweeter is always a hot t... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion @henry201 Who says the Magico's are voiced dark?? Do you know something we do not?? I don't think so...;0) | |
| Favorite Platform for Linn LP12 @mijostyn A good suspended turntable is like any other table...suspended or not, it will be subject to it surroundings..to a greater or lesser extent. Something you may have known IF you had any experience setting up turntables.@dover, The last ti... | |
| Favorite Platform for Linn LP12 @dover Do tell what turntable you are using... | |
| Favorite Platform for Linn LP12 If one uses a Trampolin 2 with their Linn, this tends to minimize the impact of what the table sits on. | |
| If you don't have a wide sweet spot, are you really an audiophile? A small sweet spot would indicate that the speaker is beaming! This is why in your example of the Sanders ESL’s...which are known to beam, that the sweet spot is small. If you listen to a speaker that is a point source, you will typically get a wi... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion @mheinze The term ’brightness’ refers to how ’lit up’ the sound is...which has to do with the material of the tweeter. The speaker balance is dictated by said material...ok your turn! If you cannot hear the additional ’brightness’ of a hot berylli... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion @mheinze So, you are going to argue that a silk dome/soft dome is substantially brighter than the Beryllium dome in the Magico..?? Ok, you win!~~ :0( | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion The point that the SF's aren't as bright as the Magico's is spot on IMO. The Magico's can sound bright if mixed with the wrong ancillary gear.But to be clear, I very much enjoy the sound of Magico's...and I think their line is quite fine. Having s... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion @mheinze I have heard the A1's. They are an ok speaker, but certainly do NOT put the EA 111's to shame. Your post referencing glaring highs and wooly bass in the SF'S has nothing to do with the final verdict in the review that you linked to. Then... | |
| sonus faber electa amator iii or magico A1 or any other suggestion @mheinze The tweeter in the A series is still a Beryllium dome with all of its pluses and minuses. I would want to listen to the new Electa Amator before committing an opinion like you just stated. Presumably, you have not heard the speaker and ju... |
