| Vapor Audio - Dagogo- Nimbus White speaker review An update on the Nimbus White; I had been using it with an integrated under review, but switched recently to the Wells Audio Innamorata, a beautifully sweet SS amp (also reviewed and owned). The Nimbus took on a deep, rich character which is norma... | |
| Vandy Treo CT's are out. Can't wait to hear what I suggest you upgrade the speaker, as cables are far easier to work with and there are so many that the odds of hitting a better performing cable at a lower price point are very good. However, regardless of how good the cabling is, one cannot supe... | |
| Synergy Between Magicos5 With Pass Labs X350.5 If the bass is not to your liking it won't matter what others think. Yes, a sealed bass system will require more drive from the amp to create the dynamic impact you seem to want. The Magico is not a very efficient speaker, and there is a world of ... | |
| Bit of a dillema Simaudio.. UPGRADE hmmm You seem pretty serious, so I would suggest your best move would be to spend a several hundred dollars on experience, getting to a HiFi show. Irreplaceable knowledge and insight gained at shows. You'll likely end up with too many ideas on how to b... | |
| A speaker so loud it can kill you There are some speakers I would rather die than own. ;) Well, maybe that's exaggeration. | |
| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic Roscoeiii, Yes, that is correct; I have finished my review and it is undergoing the process of editing, technical corrections if any, etc. prior to publication. The Nimbus White is a remarkable speaker; to my ear they have the same level of cleann... | |
| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic Take a look at the speakers I have used in my system pics and if you wish to discuss any of them feel free to contact me. | |
| Speaker imaging ...and your mind IMAGINes all manner of things about how great you can hear. :( | |
| Any truth to keeping the retail prices the same ? If the Integrated is superb the owner of it and the $15K speakers is smart. | |
| Tweeter type and brightness The entire system setup from power cabling to components largely dictates the sonic characteristics of the tweeter, as well as other drivers. Each tweeter technology has its own inherent characteristics in terms of dispersion and dynamics, but it ... | |
| Vandy or Maggy? The answer is: Eminent Technology LFT-8BMany years ago all I could afford was either the Maggie 1.6 or the Vandy 2CE. I used them both and felt that both had significant shortcomings. I longed for a speaker which could meld the strengths of those ... | |
| What is the best planar or electrostatic speaker? The new BG could be very nice; I have heard others similar and there is an appealing sound to them. What's the MSRP? Danny Richie is involved in some interesting planar hybrids. The smaller multiple driver designs are improving the magnetic planar... | |
| When does speaker distortion become audible? Gvsale, not only is there the issue of our memory over time, but if we are not comparing speakers in the same setup/system then the entire "apples to apples" assumption is lost. Then one can only make a generalized statement regarding the comparis... | |
| When does speaker distortion become audible? There exists an astonishing amount of differences in capability of speakers to render the signal accurately/beautifully. It is common when comparing speakers to have the sense that one is far more clean/clear/distortion-free than another. |
