| "Absolute best" used speaker for $8-10K Not one of my personal favorites but given your stated preferences I would suggest the Theil CS6 | |
| Where can I find speaker feet? Also try Audiopoints from Star Sound Technologies. I have a pair of nice brass feet (similar to Audiopoints) that have a 3/16 thread that I'm selling if you are interested in those. Email me for photos. | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? It figures after boasting that I've heard nearly everything under the sun below $15K Aktchi asks about two that I haven't--the Zu and the Tyler. I guess to try and be more specific here is what I did hear in my two year search (at least what I rem... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? I'm gonna spend most of my air responding to Aktchi and let Lou handle the wood--except to say that mine are solid oak with, I believe, Baltic Birch and solid Walnut baffles and Baltic Birch rear panels. Lou, did I get that right?Now, as to compar... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Sorry, Lou. My poor attempt at being cynical and funny. I didn't mean to lead people astray. | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? You know, I am getting so sick and tired of audio manufacturers that make absurdly dishonest claims about their products. Voodoo incantations that improve bass response? The next thing I expect to hear is placement of a clock radio in your listeni... | |
| 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 ... |
