| Best speaker for songs like Heart - Alone Given your responses, Rockpanther, this may be one of the few times in my life I would suggest an older used speaker, despite your desire for new. If you go new, with your budget you will likely sacrifice bass extension, which I can't see you enjo... | |
| Best speaker for songs like Heart - Alone I know precisely what you are indicating, and I know the answer. I happen to like that song as well, and I often play it on systems to determine how much high end energy a rig is producing. If the piece is too piercing I know I have to adjust the ... | |
| What speakers for 10k? I find the "turbulence" argument unsatisfactory. | |
| What speakers for 10k? Mapman, you posted as I was writing my post; yes, I concur completely with your comment, "Its not hard to have 94DB speakers....assuming the lowest octave or so is excluded." That is the problem, the claimed low end response with the claimed sensi... | |
| What speakers for 10k? Yes, the discussion has finally gotten interesting. I didn't pay much attention to the WaveTouch speaker earlier, but now I thought I would take a closer look. I don't like what I see. I have not heard them, and while the crossover looks "rich", t... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? My point was simply that no component is heard in isolation, and that the composition of the system largely determines the perception of how "fast" it is. i.e. Put a "fast" amp with a dynamic speaker and it may not sound to the ear as quick as a "... | |
| Anything as " fast" as SPECTRAL gear? "Fast" means not so much unless you are speaking of a system. | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? Essrand, no, I do not mean USB to S/DIF converter; yikes, that would be horrid! Converters have a great capacity to suck life out of performance, and I try to avoid them whenever possible. I did mean a quality USB cable to go from your Mac to the ... | |
| AMR DP-777, what am I missing ? I wouldn't dream of running any file-based playback with a trash USB. It would eviscerate the sound quality. I have demoed about ten models from six or seven brands of them in my room and the sound quality differential was large, every bit as effe... | |
| Importance of Amplifier versus Preamp? If you are seeking optimum performance it is not wise to over or under emphasize any component. | |
| Floored by the Sound Quality of TEO Liquid Pre 4orreal, my apologies for a tardy response; the email is on the TEO site, but not intuitively. It's at the bottom of the "About" page, at the end of discussion about recycling. :OTaras@teoaudio.com | |
| What speakers for 10k? I suppose I could also add additional information for the OP in regards to other speakers to consider. I think the Legacy Audio Focus SE would be a fine selection as well as the Kingsound Prince III, if you're looking for a planar speaker. I have ... | |
| What speakers for 10k? I own the Nimbus White following my review at Dagogo.com. Feel free to read the article and contact me with questions. You can see how I addressed the current complaints about Vapor in the thread "Vapor Sound Audio/Tons of Value for $$$$" | |
| Vapor Sound Audio/tons of Value for $$$$ I posted a shorter response after electing to conserve a longer one in a file, in case I wished to refer to it, or use it, if the discussion merited. It seems it is merited, so here are my original comments, which address the inquiry of Acesverde ... | |
| Balance control. Discuss. Because at your seaside home which has begun sliding into the sea you may wish to have proper balance for one last listen prior to losing it all. |
