| Naim amps?? At the risk of offending the Naim camp (are there still any campers out there?) as a former Naim owner and enthusiast (62/Hicap/140) I think the brand has lost it's way. When I was auditioning electronics after my gear was reaching the end of it's... | |
| Is my ceiling too low? Sure, the higher ceiling would be better but the Harbeth's are not very room sensitive and you will get some really great sound pairing them with the Naim stuff--provided it is the NAP200 or better. Enjoy! | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Lou--when you have time could you elaborate on the aperiodic vent? If someone put a gun to my head and made me say which of the many virtues of the DA-1's do I feel is most impressive I would have to say the bass response. I'm really curious how y... | |
| TRELJA almost In New York, 2006 Thanks for the write up Joe. I, too, was there and concur that the rooms, like most of these "hifi hotel" sitatuations, did not do the systems any favors. That said I really wasn't very impressed with what I heard throughout the day. The only room... | |
| Proac 3.8's vs Spendor SP100's I owned the SP100's and extensively auditioned the 3.8's. The SP 100 is a fantastic speaker very much in the BBC monitor tradition. The 3.8's have a more immediate and full bodied presentation while the Spendor's tend to lay back. If you are think... | |
| Class T vs. Class D Digital Amps If so I'm failing since I left out Class A and Class A/B! | |
| Help Me Locate Neuance? Thanks everyone. I'll give a call. | |
| Review: Daedalus Audio Isolation Stand/Platform for DA-1 Well, that pretty much shoots my theory down. You and Fig seem to have very similar listening spaces. However, after reading and comparing the two reviews again it seems that you both found similar improvements and differ only on the question of m... | |
| Review: Daedalus Audio Isolation Stand/Platform for DA-1 I'm guessing one of the reasons you guys are hearing different levels of improvement with the stands has to do with the configuration and construction of your listening space. In my experience, component isolation becomes less important when your ... | |
| Best monitor for female vocals? End where you started--get the Harbeth HL 5 Supers. For your room size and listening tastes I am confident you cannot do better. | |
| Review: Daedalus Audio Isolation Stand/Platform for DA-1 Barrelchief, great review. I have to say that it is hard to imagine the DA-1's getting that much better than what I'm hearing in my room--though I am interested now in what the stands might do. I was using the DA-1's with the rubber feet on my har... | |
| Guitar player? , What model do you own or play? Ibanez Artwood series acoustic. Started taking lessons at 40 and three years later still struggle--what a reality check! Went to see Cowboy Junkies last night and was happy to be able to pick it up and play a few of their songs for my own entertai... | |
| Amps, Cables and Current: A Question Thanks, Jeff. Point #1 is as I suspected. However, Point #2 I don't get. Can you put it in somewhat more layman's terms? And in addition, can you address why the Audience speaker cables do not present a problem handling the kind of "peak" output c... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I can't really add much more to the comparison I wrote a while back. Here is the link:http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&1130287258&openmine&zzDodgealum&4&5#DodgealumI would just reiterate, for your size room I fear ... | |
| Tough Choice: Proac D25 or Dynaudio Special 25 I had a pair of D25's in my system for a while. Good, though not great speaker and I don't think a very good value for the money. Most importantly, I think your room is much to small to accomodate them. Can't comment on the Dynaudio's however, giv... |
