| Talon Khorus question Rich, that's a sensible approach and it seems to be working very well for JRDG. Thanks for clarifying. Suchart, I'm surprised there are so many exceptional speakers available over there. The shipping cost and mark-up must be staggering! If/when I ... | |
| Amazing Solo Piano Recordings Here's a couple of nice ones that weren't mentioned above: Jean-Yves Thibaudet's "Conversations with Bill Evans" and George Winston's "Autumn." | |
| Talon Khorus question Macm, I concur with your assessment (I also have HD600's and have noticed some similarity). It was quite a change for me to go from the in-your-face ML sound to the more laid-back Khorus sound. However, I do find the music to be more relaxing and ... | |
| Talon Khorus question Metaphysics -- randomness is clumpy, and this could indeed explain it. Avguygeorge -- I never claimed the Talons are better than any particular speaker. In my post above (apologies for the pedantry), you'll see that I only said I've found the Khor... | |
| Talon Khorus question I assume you are asking this question out of genuine curiosity (as opposed to, say, trying to discredit Talon products by posting an improper implication out of some unstated and self-serving interest). So I will give you some of my thoughts on yo... | |
| Music for "Tough Times" Joy Division, particularly Unknown Pleasures. When I'm in a pissy mood, I don't want to listen to happy feel-good music -- it's like nails on a chalk board. Definitely not for everyone though, nor for the better days. | |
| Best and Worst customer service? Pete, from your previous post I see you've also had a bad experience with Martin Logan. I presume there are some people who have had positive experiences with ML (even though I don't see any positive comments about ML mentioned in this thread). Bu... | |
| Best and Worst customer service? MARTIN LOGAN = WORST. I have had a very frustrating experience with Martin Logan that really calls into question that company's integrity and commitment to its customers. A while back I bought a pair of ML ReQuests together with a pair of Aerius i... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Great question -- so many beautiful and truly moving songs, it's difficult to pick just 3. Fortunately, many of the great ones have already been mentioned above. Here are 3 more that always make me feel there is something more to life than our phy... | |
| Which MIT speaker cable? Hi Jeff, someone at MIT told me they voice their cables to ML speakers. Don't know if this is true. If it is, it may explain why some people (e.g., Leafs above) don't like the sound of MIT cables, while some people with MLs or other revealing spea... | |
| What is the meaning of a true audiophile au'di-o-phile. n. 1. A person who exhibits extreme obsessive/compulsive behavior that happens to be directed at achieving perfect music reproduction, even at the risk of compromising their personal relationships and financial security. 2. A delusi... | |
| Reference Vocal/Piano/Sax/Guitar CD s For soprano and tenor sax, you may want to check out the Jan Garbarek Group's "Twelve Moons" (ECM 1500). The second track ("Psalm") also contains beautifully moving female vocals by Agnes Buen Garnas interlaced with Garbarek's flowing soprano sax ... | |
| Good Sub for Martin Logan ReQuests, Help I asked a very similar question here last month when I was looking for a pair of subs to augment my ReQuests. Audiogoners referred me to a number of excellent subs which may also be suitable for your system. See replies to the post "Talon Roc - wo... | |
| Win a power cord. Kevin, it sounds like you've found a creative way to help fund a good cause. I've traveled through Guatemala and have seen first-hand the staggering poverty that exists there. Thank you for taking initiative to help out and spread some of the weal... | |
