| Loudspeaker warranties and black market products @mulveling is correct, speaker warranties are of little import. His advice to stash drivers is sound, however drivers by and large don’t fail unless abused. That leaves the crossovers. Unless you rock Thiel CS5i, crossovers are simple circuits th... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? A way to upvote / downvote posts might be a good start. | |
| Sound quality differences in streamers You know that nice feeling you get when you walk into an IKEA store? The warm smell of cinnamon wafting from the oven? Except the only ovens in IKEA’s kitchens are the microwaves with which they nuke horsemeat meatballs made in Slovakia. Many pe... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound I'm kind of curious about the JBL M2 though. On paper, they look more like my cup of tea. OP didn't say why he got rid of his, did he? | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound Mike, that old Lansing Heritage paper is a very good and very approachable analysis of woofer design, with the caveat of course that it is limited to JBL products (naturally). That other article is just one man’s opinionated screed. While I’ll be... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound @larryi I hear you and I respect your sonic preferences, but how does low xmax translate into clean, and especially fast, bass? Especially when paired with a 15" paper cone? | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? @lizardloungerecords This forum is in the business of selling audio gear for a commission. Perhaps not surprisingly, they take a very dim view of folks trying to sell their gear to one another in forum threads. They also do their best to prevent... | |
| Best Match @beijinglarry Were I in your position, before a new DAC I would look into amplifier(s) better suited to the Maggies 3.6. I'm a fan of Classé amps. I own a pair of Classé monoblocks which I love. But the CAP-151 was in a different product catego... | |
| Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ? I've discovered great new music here on this forum (new to me, that is). Thank you. | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound So, guys, wait a second. The JBL K2s have big honkin 15" woofers mounted in big-arse bass reflex cabinets like it’s 1975, but they’ve got no bass. No bass. And a used pair is asking $18K. Am I reading this right? Can someone please describe what m... | |
| Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest? @lizardloungerecords If I were in your position, I think I would put together a quick list of the gear, and post it on my local craigslist. Audiophiles don’t need elaborate descriptions or even pics to know what you’re selling; they will contact... | |
| Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound I have a question about the JBL K2 S9900. TMR just listed a pair, and I was looking into it to see if it’s something I should be interested in. According to their datasheet, bass extends to... 33 Hz @ -10 dB? Really? Are they some kind of Cerwin... | |
| Krell Moves to new location @hgeifman Hopefully you're jesting with that AI hallucination. | |
| Krell Moves to new location Let's hear it from the folks who had equipment sequestered at Krell. Has it been repaired / serviced and shipped back to you? |
