| Daedalus Audio DA-1 Thanks to all for weighing in. It seems there may be more pairs of the DA-1's out there than I imagined! I really appreciate hearing how these speakers sound with different gear and in different rooms. I'm always a little suspicious when people sa... | |
| Daedalus Audio DA-1 Thanks Barrelchief for checking in with a progress report. I would be very interested in future updates as the speakers break in and certainly a full review if you can muster one. Can you give us some perspective by talking about the equipment you... | |
| Daedalus Audio DA-1 I'm very intrigued. Looking over the website I see speakers with an absolutely lovely real wood finish and an interesting design philosophy. Barrelchief, how is the break in going? I'd really appreciate a review if you have the time to write one. ... | |
| Cartridge Recommendation I'm using a 20XH in my Scout and think it is fantastic. In that setup the Dyna excels. I'm wondering how the 10X5 will mate with the Rega. Can anyone comment? Thanks | |
| Stands for harbeth superHL5 Congrats Chris. You just ordered the best value in home audio speakers on the planet. I've listened to nearly everything up to (and above) 10K and IMHO for the money the HL5 Supers simply cannot be beat. They make music! I don't know what you are ... | |
| Sub for Proac 1SC? I used a Rel Stadium II for a while in my 14 X 22 room and thought it was great. Though I think subs introduce more problems than solutions, the Rel is well designed, built and melds pretty seemlessly into the mix. You can probably find a series 2... | |
| Thoughts on the Audio Research 150.2 Eee3. I would agree absolutely that it all boils down to personal preference. However, I would ask with regard to the 100.2 and 150.2 comparison--how do you know which you prefer? I do not doubt the sonic attributes of the 150.2--I've heard the am... | |
| Best speakers for Classical music under 10k used The Sophias are an excellent speaker and a good value. However, I can think of no better speaker for the classical genre than the Harbeth Monitor 40. These are rarely available used but will set you back a lot less than a pair of Sophias--and will... | |
| Dynavector or Grado ? Before buying the 20XH for my Scout I talked at length with the tech folks at VPI. According to them the performance parameters of the Dynavector add up to ideal synergy with the VPI. They could not make a stronger recommendation for matching the ... | |
| Thoughts on the Audio Research 150.2 I hate to rain on the preverbial parade but I had the chance to do an A/B comparison of the 100.2 and the 150.2 and I have to say that the 100.2 was better by a considerable margin. The 100.2 has the magic of tubes with the drive and authority of ... | |
| Thoughts On The PMC OB1? Thanks Cinematic. I agree entirely with your differentiation between bass depth and output. The Proac D25, for example, goes down to 20hz but the 6.5 inch woofer simply cannot move a lot of air. You get to "hear" the deepest notes but not "feel" t... | |
| Thoughts On The PMC OB1? Thanks Cinematic. Are you suggesting the use of a subwoofer with the OB1? I figured with the transmission line enclosure and rated response down into the 20hz region one would not be necessary in my 15 X 26 X 9 room. I would prefer a full range fl... | |
| Thoughts On The PMC OB1? Kw6. I do like the Sophia--very much. However, while I find it very attractive, my wife does not. It really is a bit large and too modern looking for our living room. It is also a bit beyond what I would like to pay. If I had a dedicated room and ... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Not sure if anyone is still paying attention here but I was just reading a review of the PMC OB1 loudspeaker in which the reviewer states that the crossover is wonderfully designed and produced a plot of phase coherence that is the best he has eve... | |
| Linn Sondek LP12 - Cartridge recommendation I agree with the above posts. I had an LP 12 for a number of years and I would stick with one of the Linn arms. Everything I read at the time suggests the SME is a poor match for that table. It is too heavy to obtain the proper adjustment of the s... |
