| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles Most of conventional hifi is a ’bad idea’, i.e. a bunch of matchbox sized lifestyle speakers that are incapable of sounding like the real thing, i.e., lifestyle crap in undersized cabinets made to look good and that's it. Cables the size of fire ... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles Sometime ago, I thought the best sound I ever heard was at a relatively upscale nightclub randomly one night. I found out that it was a large higher end Pioneer PA array (XY-3B). Something about the acoustics of that venue and the PA system made i... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. It is pretty much anything "manufacturer direct" that seems to get trashed here, a trend i see. It could be the middle men who don't get a piece of the 'manufacturer direct' pie perhaps. Wilson $27900 - minimum Middle man/Dealer's cut, 50% ($1395... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @yoyoyaya I can understand conventional electronics designed in the regular world of engineering, i.e. the non audio electronics because the "sonic attributes" of circuits is never taught in engineering at any level (masters, phd whatever), never ... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... @OP - The build quality of the Michis is not in the same league as the Pass. @yoyoyaya not in the same league eh? Thought the Michis were a Ken Ishiwata project before he passed away. So, care to explain how nelson pass is on a "different lea... | |
| The $27,900 disappointment? Wilson Audio Watt Puppy 8 issues. Why not just sell the speakers and find something you like? Jeez You know who: Hey, I am going to get some better wiper blades for my car Hiend2: Why not just sell the car and find another car you like? Jeez | |
| As good or better than Magnepan 3.7i I’m looking for suggestions of speakers with equivalent or better sound.... What the maggies could do better are better dynamics, bass weight and so forth Magnepan is s unique speaker for which there is no clear substitute. Do you have any ele... | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles The points on aesthetics are well taken – WAF is a real thing (even in my house). For some, the aesthetics really will be far more important than the sound, others will value performance and sound over all else, and there will be a broad spectrum... | |
| Would Totem Arro's be a significant upgrade from Kef Q150's Yes, i have heard both the floorstander and your bookshelf in that Revel Be series. Get the ’upgrade package’ with the mundorf/clarity caps, binding post, etc as it is a sonic improvement. If you bought such things separately as a diy-er, it woul... | |
| Would Totem Arro's be a significant upgrade from Kef Q150's Actually, @deep_333 , if I am reading the product description correctly, at $2200 a pair (?) they would be half the price of the M126be’s. On edit: oops, I guess not, apparently that wasn't the pair price after all. What??? That lil Revel Lack... | |
| Would Totem Arro's be a significant upgrade from Kef Q150's @grislybutter , to begin with I thought I liked them, but now I am kind of feeling they may have actually been a lateral move. Not that I don’t think they sound good, just that maybe what I really wanted ("tell me what you want, what you really r... | |
| Pass....Accuphase....or...... If you're in Europe, the Rotel Michi M8 monoblocks could be auditioned/buy used or new. It may be a better route to futureproofing as you can throw any and every speaker at it, i.e., when you move on from that Verity Audio someday. | |
| NEW Tekton Design Speakers - The Bonnevilles Bonnie’s makeover for basement listening room usage (possibly)... Hmm, the gal’s looking a tad better, don’t you think fellas? She could fit in a modern art museum along with some of Jackson Pollock’s mischief... (if Tekton will move the ports t... |
