| Proac Response 2.5 vs D25 To add--I recently auditioned the D25 and heard the 2.5 back several years. I won't compare the two--it has been too long since I heard the older model. I will say the D25 was a surprisingly good speaker. Not that I went in with diminished expecta... | |
| Proac 3.8 vs Von Schweikert 5 Abruce. I have auditioned both extensively. To my ear the Proac is the superior speaker. The speakers have similar tonal characteristics, slightly to the warm side of neutral. Both image well and throw a huge soundstage. The midrange is very good ... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Viridian. You are no doubt correct. My reference to Joseph's "contribution" was to the thread, not the technology. | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Songwriter, thanks for alerting me to the earlier forum discussion. I see now that this is really much deeper than I had anticipated. We have a full throated ideological struggle going on relative to this topic. Though I learned much from the disc... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons Viridian. Your explanation is helpful but leaves me wondering--Why would a speaker designer want to allow each driver in, say, a three way design want to "bleed" into the frequency spectrum of the nearby driver(s) rather than use a steep slope (is... | |
| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen Anyone read the book "Affluenza"? It may be a cure for Audiophile burnout. | |
| Burned out Audiophile - Trying to Find some Zen I'm with Newbee--it's really a matter of looking at this as a hobby. Try this, try that and learn something new. I started out in hifi when Stereophile and TAS were not in bed with the equipment manufacturers (at least not overtly). Then you could... | |
| Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ? Hmm. If a had to pick one speaker to own for the next 10-20 years it would have to be the Harbeth's. I've been trying to find a pair to attractive floorstanding speakers in the 6-8K range for over a year now (something my wife will find more attra... | |
| Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ? Drubin. Feel free to email me off the thread to share your views. | |
| Harbeth owners/ speakers rock ? Drubin. You got the Super HL5's and haven't told us what you think???? Perhaps it is because you are still breaking them in. Don't leave us in the dark--I have high hopes for you and those puppies.Relative to the thread: Yeah, Harbeth's rock in th... | |
| Norah Jones? Anyone see the spoof commercial done on Mad TV? Really pokes fun at the sameness of her tunes. FWIW I really like to unwind to her records--not serious listening material but sets the mood right on Friday after a long week. I happen to think the r... | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Tomryan. Try John Rutan at Audio Connection in Verona, NJ. He may be willing to help. | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Drubin. I listened to the SCM 35 as part of my search. Nice speaker. Nothing extraordinary there, IMHO. The Harbeth's are better by a significant margin. I'm trying to find something that will exceed the Harbeth's by a good margin--otherwise, why ... | |
| VPI Scout Belt Noise Interesting note. I emailed Mike at VPI when at the same time I put up the post. He said to put a little lightweight machine oil on your finger, rub it in and then touch the inside of the belt while the plattter is spinning. Totally new paradigm! ... | |
| Harbeth Owners - What do you think? Drubin. I am drooling at the thought. However, if you follow the HUG posts Alan Shaw seems to have some serious reservations about building a floorstander that can compete sonically with the monitors. He is all about panel resonances and seems to ... |
