| Legacy Audio Focus SE compared to the Legacy Aeris Speakers jcarcopo, what is your ultimate priority? Ease and fullness, or more laser-like precision? The Aeris has more coherence, the Whisper more dynamic impact with ease. Between the two designs you cannot have it both ways. Make your choice. If you want... | |
| You pay for it and you get it... Scale and dynamic impact. I have been discussing the importance of the sense of scale (as in large scale) as a parameter of performance for some time now. It is not typically discussed, only terms such as "large soundstage, etc. Not the same, as a... | |
| Silver cables added resolution Your experience is common. Know that proper assessment of cables demands they be compared in sets, at least initially, according to manufacturer recommendations. So, all the comments about assessment of particular cables' attributes when used in ... | |
| Speakers The single most critical component No stopping a man with infatuation, be it with women or speakers. No reasoning with him, as well. We have several members with their own particular Transducer Tunnel Vision, my phrase to describe the phenomenon. :) Voxativ speakers are quite nic... | |
| D'agostino amplifiers: where's the beef? Tsunami Coming! | |
| Speakers The single most critical component +1 limomangusNow we learn the biggest, or shall I say the dominant, reason for the thread, "My room is tiny at 10x12, so contraints [sic] on both amp and speakers does limit my choices." Explains the infatuation with small, FR speakers. Without ... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? We should be good for at least a few more pages of impractical commentary. Meanwhile, those who want to actually learn what does or does not work in establishing a better system will do my Imbalanced System Test. :) | |
| When does one know it's time to upgrade? If you sit on your wallet, and it is so thick that it causes your spine to shift so as to cause imbalance in hearing, then it is time to upgrade! ;) | |
| Intimate, warm and holographic alternative For interested parties, not only the OP, I just had published my review of the gorgeous Salk Sound SS 9.5 Speakers at Dagogo.com. They are a superb speaker at the $10K price point, and check the boxes on a checklist of non-fatiguing and tonally ri... | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer) dletch2, thank you for your additional comments. You have homemade "custom" cables and appear to not understand how to assess cables in systems. Of course, you didn’t share what cables you have compared in sets, as I requested. You provided two in... | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? And nobody who is so chintzy that they won't spend any money on better wires is going to admit they might make a difference. We have some serious problems with attitudes and methodology in this community. :( | |
| What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire? Meanwhile, for those who want to actually build better audio systems, try my Imbalanced System Test, wherein you take the "directional" wires and for half the system turn them around the wrong way. Listen. If there is a shift, a skewing, imbalance... | |
| The Intellectual People Podcast - Galen Gareis (Former Belden Wire Designer) dletch2, When an engineer/designer has put out boatloads of technical information, I do not need to do a highly technical review. I only need point to it. I do not think you understand the audiophile community well, at least beyond a cursory compa... | |
| If high end audio was $10 and match box sized That's terrific, petg60! Full range 1.5" driver! WooHoo! ;) | |
