| Kingsound King Speakers Huge ESLs Having just written the review and as an owner I made it a point to hear them. Not speaking to the attendant components, the set up left much to be desired. The speaker is capable of astounding sound, but at least four or five important advantages... | |
| What were the best and worst rooms at RMAF 2009? Ah, so it was newlyweds I met at the Vivid/Luxman/Synergistic room? Don't go spending all your wedding gifts on the system! It's wonderful that you're getting involved in each other's interests. I hope auiophilia is a lifelong shared joy for you. | |
| Any good equipment racks that are afordable? Plateau | |
| Kingsound King Speakers Huge ESLs John, thanks, it seems that we're in great times for development of the ESL technology. No more burnt holes in Mylar, etc. :) I was chatting with Albert Porter about ESLs and he offered a litany of technological issues associated with some earlier... | |
| Kingsound King Speakers Huge ESLs Very kind words; thank you! While I'm still young enough and strong enough I'm a huge speaker fan! When I'm old and can't hack hauling them up and down steps, I'll probably turn into a monitor lover. ;) It's not visible in all pics of the room, bu... | |
| Is rewiring worth it considering... Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth.Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim... | |
| Just got the PS Audio Perfectwav DAC -- Amazing Based on my experiences using cdp's or DAC's with level controls the massive improvement of going "direct to amp" with the source, if doable, is of such benefit that it is almost impossible to overstate. I have two rigs assembled from review compo... | |
| I need help with my Equipment addiction It's all futile. No point in it; you may as well give up. You can't win. It's like the Twilight Zone episode I saw the the other day. Aliens come to Earth in order to "help" mankind. They are guided by a book entitled, "To Serve Man". They win hum... | |
| Why so few high end line arrays? I discuss what I call "LSESL", or Line Source ESL design, in my most recent article at Dagogo.com. I'm referring in that term to the Kingsound King, a large planar (You can tell I'm just a BIT excited about this technology). Quad has used a simila... | |
| Who gets your system and music after you are gone? I have a codicil in my will stating that all my equipment is to be burned when I pass away. If I can't have it, no one will. This will be a perfect example to my family that the equipment didn't matter anyway. The silence in the home will cause th... | |
| Total spent on music vs equipment? Easy. Gear, room, media. I never apologize for putting the vast amount of my resources into the rig and room. I wouldn't have the experience I do when listening if I'd not focused on the goal of the best musical reproduction I can afford. I feel j... | |
| which output from SONOS to outboard DAC? In my experience, coax. | |
| The Richard Clark "all amps sounds the same" test All amps do sound the same... underwater. | |
| Founder of Valve Amplification Co. VAC passes... It is a great blessing to have a good father/son relationship, one which Kevin has been kind enough to share with the audio community. There is "good mourning" and "bad mourning", meaning that some people cope with the death of a loved one well, w... | |
| What Color is your system Honest1, I understand the fixed nature of the relationship between wavelength and frequency. My point was that there is not much merit to discussing a correlation between color and sound without a scale, even if arbitrary. I should have been more ... |
