| "talon" still in business? I owned a pair of the original Khorus for a couple of years and had the Khorus X MkII crossovers put in. When I had the mod done, Talon provided me with the best customer service I've experienced in the music world. I haven't dealt with the compan... | |
| Can you ever go back and be happy? Yes it is possible. I've done it. About 6 years ago I bought a pair of MartinLogan ReQuests. Not pure electrostats, and maybe not in the same class as some of the other planars you've listed. Even so, I loved the way they looked (IMHO still one of... | |
| Merlin Owners - Opinions? The VSM should work fine in your room. I'm currently using VSM-M's in a room that's a tad smaller than your's. Their top end is exemplary and the mid range has electrostatic clarity. Compared to other fast detailed speakers I've owned in recent ye... | |
| What speakers are these? Looks can be misleading. No doubt those little blue amps pump out some current, though I wonder if they are only at their best with proper toe in. Also, while they certainly take a step in a new direction, if I were the designer I would have start... | |
| Has anyone demoed Audio Teknes cables? I haven't tried the Dynaflux, but I have used the Audio Tekne ICs and speaker cables for some time now, and have no plans of changing. The ICs and cables have very similar sonic qualities, which I would describe as very clear, neutral, and fast wi... | |
| Why so many problems with martin logan? A few years ago, I bought two new pairs of Martin Logan speakers, but I will never another Martin Logan product for several reasons. First, delivery took more than two months as a result of delays at the ML factory in Kansas. To reduce the delay a... | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Thanks again Sean. | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Sean, thanks for the reply and for the reference to the Duncan article. I'll try to track it down. Which magazine/journal was it published in? Don | |
| Stereophile "confirms" Moncrieff's SACD comments ? Sean, I haven't seen the article in question. Does JA give any explanation for why he thought the SACD's lower HF dynamic range was academic? If the noise is very low to begin with -- as it should be for a player of this caliber (also evident from... | |
| Questions re Adcom GFP-750 in a combo system Hi Sean. I had a GFP-750 a while back that I used for a combo music/HT system. For the price, I thought it was a very good preamp for an AV setup and, in passive mode, was even surprisingly good for 2-channel music. As I recall, the SSP loop in th... | |
| Pass x250, Talon Khoruses , what now ? Hi David. Some good recommendations given above. You might also want to try an Aloia 11.01 inductive preamp. Although it's a SS design, it sounds a bit tube-like, particularly in the midrange (smooth, dynamic, and palpable). When I first got my Kh... | |
| Brazilian Jazz for anyone interested. Sounds like great buy - Thanks for passing this info along to us. I'll check it out. Another compilation of the same flavor that you might want to try is a CD entitled Brazilian Romance (CCD-5200-2), one of the Jazz Moods series put out by Concord... | |
| TRELJA in New York, 2002 Great review Trelja. Thank you for sharing your impressions, and thanks for putting such careful thought into your detailed words (or for putting such careful words to your detailed thoughts). In any case, I read every word of both your posts and ... | |
| Junked audio components - hazardous waste... As with most issues, the truth on this one probably lies somewhere between the extremes. Although my primary education is in other fields, IÂve completed graduate studies in environmental engineering (focusing on landfill design, water treatment ... | |
| help guy backs out of a sale after m.o. is iss While I'm no lawyer, I believe your seller was contractually bound to sell you the item in question at your agreed upon price. (As I recall, an enforceable verbal agreement/oral contract exists when there was an offer, an acceptance of the offer, ... |
