| Beolab 5 - Four Questionable Technologies Hdomke, there are two pairs on Ebay right now, for considerably less than $18k. FYI. | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Jmcgrogan2, I checked out the link to JB8312's Parsifals in big leaf maple - and the price. "Stunning" in every respect. | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Jb8312, I would love to see some images of your speakers. I have a table in big leaf quilted maple which is the most spectacular wood I have ever seen. They must make just gorgeous speaker cabinets. You lucky dog. | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Chrisla, now you are scaring me. I can not get out of my mind the image of a pair of Klipschorns in white whicker. Bad brain. Bad brain... | |
| Parsifals vs Mahlers - best for what I got? Jaybo, fear not. The Newforms ain't going no where except to my music/photo studio. They are an extraordinary piece of work - and for the $1500 or so I spent on them 5 years ago, a major bargain. Seems funny that I should be thinking about speaker... | |
| Speakers with high WAF? Thanks for all the suggestions.Macrojack, the headphones are an interesting solution. But I am a musician (tenot/clarintet) and play along. No way I can listen with the muffs and play.Of all the great options, I think the best choises are the Vien... | |
| Speakers with high WAF? My goodness - what great suggestions and experiences. Seems to me that the R&D of some savy speaker comapny would conduct focus groups with women and use their feedback to style their boxes. They could then market to us guys with the WAF Seal ... | |
| Distortion from speakers - amp? Atmasphere, since the distortion happens with both amp/pre configurations, could the problem be with the speakers - or perhaps the power supply. I am listening to this in a new location and I am not using any sort of power treatment. Thanks for yo... | |
| Distortion from speakers - amp? Atmasphere, thanks for the suggestion. I will give that a go. I have some other tubes which I have can roll as well. Frankly, I do not think that it is the amp or your baby. I hooked up my old componants (Pass Aleph 5/ Blue Circle 21)to the speake... | |
| Distortion from speakers - amp? "What's an Atma-Sphere R13?? You'd think I should ought to know that one but I don't."Shhhh. You of all people should know that it is a secret version of the MP-3 for people who can not remember what the hell they have. | |
| Distortion from speakers - amp? Plato,Thanks for your insight. The cables are Anticable balanced IC's. Not sure if they are shielded or not (do not even know what that mean to be honest). Is there a way to replicate the shielded function? Since they are XLR ends, they can not be... | |
| Balanced outputs vs balanced design Friends, thank you for the replies and suggestions. I will check out the preamps recommended, though it is apparent that they are a pricey bunch. I think that a used BAT 5VK is more in my price range - or perhaps a used Atma sphere. Missed out on ... | |
| Tyler/Salk sensible alternatives to Gallos? "I dunno, I've never heard speakers I like as well as my Gallos, and I've listened to a lot of speakers, before and since."Dopogue, good for you. Satisfaction is the Holy Grail of the audio experience. The rest of us hang out at this audio equival... | |
| Tyler/Salk sensible alternatives to Gallos? Opalchip your comment "not...timbrally or harmonically accurate" puts the Gallos down on my particualr dance card. As a musician and student of the sound and technique of great jazz musicians, my goal is to put together a system that is as sonical... | |
| Tyler/Salk sensible alternatives to Gallos? Tvad, frankly, when I got the Newforms about five years ago, I never gave any consideration to the height of the ribbon. And I have been happily playing along with them ever since, probably for that very reason. More I think about it, I may alread... |
