| 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... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Barrelchief, we need to talk. I'm very curious about the Odyssey Mono's. Can you discuss:1. What they replaced, why you made the change and what you heard when you made it?2. What preamp you are running with the Odyssey's and why you chose it?3. T... | |
| Daedalus DA-1: How Good Are They? Finsup....I guess I'm not clear on what exactly you are asking. My "journey" is a long one, spanning over 20 years in this hobby. I've owned Spendors (SP 100's and SP1/2's) and like them very much. The SP 100 is one of the best speakers I've ever ... | |
| LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ? Barrelchief--send me your contact information I lost your number! | |
| LARGER SWEET SPOT WANTED Von Schweikert ? Barrelchief beat me to it--Ditto the DA-1's which provide excellent off-axis response. Went to a live concert yesterday and was reminded again how live music doesn't present a precise image--not sure why we insist on one with our hi-fi setups. |
