Sonus Faber Cremona I need input on this
I extensively auditioned the Cremona and found it to be warm, smooth and pretty dynamic. They have a very spacious sound when positioned well out into the room. Bass response is impressively deep, but not as tuneful as I would have liked. My major... 
Just moved - sound destroyed
Loose--your dilemma gets at the heart of what most fail to consider when building a system--the role of the room. In my 25 years in audio I've moved at least 10 times and each time the system was transformed (for good or ill) by the new surroundin...

Harbeth C7 vs Proac D25 Review
Well, I've now logged two weeks with the D25's and they are growing on me. I just spun Lucinda Williams "Live at the Fillmore" and I have to say that the bass response of the these speakers is quite amazing. Tremendous depth and weight for such a ... 
Harbeth C7 vs Proac D25 Review
Nathan. Tubes aside, I am in total agreement with you. My whole point is that the D25's are more accurate than the Harbeths and therefore when the recording has "glare" so does the sound. My only question is whether, for me, accurate is better sin... 
Wilson Benesch Curves
Thanks Phil. I'm curious--did you have the chance to compare the Curves with the larger ACTs? Perhaps you could share your thoughts about the Curves in greater detail--I'd be interested in the size of the room and how they are working for you in t... 
Thoughts On The PMC OB1?
Thanks Alun. I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this thread even though it has been idle for a while. I agree completely with what you have said. I got a chance to hear the OB1 and agree that, to my tastes, it is overly analytical. I... 
Daedalus Audio DA-1
Jccornilson. I'm curious--can you elaborate on what you hear in the DA-1's? When you say "laid back unrealistic sound" I'm wondering what that means to you. Most of the speakers I've heard in my search are unrealistic because they lack the warmth ... 
ARC and Audience: Perfect Together?
Thanks folks. Bigkidz, which ARC stuff did you run with the Audience? 
Harbeth C7 vs Proac D25 Review
Just to respond with a bit more detail to some of the comments made. First, I hope it was clear in my review that I really like the D25. I think it is one of the better speakers out there at and above the price point. I agree with Nathan that Proa... 
Harbeth C7 vs Proac D25 Review
I don't recall the film but I'm with you Drubin--maybe the speaker that does everything I want and is under 10K simply does not exist. I live in hope.....Longer reply to Nathan and others to come--gotta go to work! 
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
