| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers Gheoper, You beat me to it; I was going to announce the second half of the article. I guess I did like them, didn't I? :)Don't worry over the break in; you'll know if you like their sound or not when you hear them. I wouldn't make any purchase of ... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers Ghoeper.... The drive will be worth your time. | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers CpK, no need to open it up; I toured the factory and saw everything - crossovers, wiring, etc. for the HD's. Yes, there is some clear 12Ga cable used on the harness and with the bass drivers. It's sourced from an audio cable manufacturer, not gene... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers Ghoeper, Ah, Altec Lansing. Man, I haven't heard that name in ages! Memories...Altec was one of the speaker brands that everyone knew back then. I'll bet a lot of Agoners owned them.They've seen better days, and the technology is WAY better (on vi... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers Ghoeper, No, I have not heard the 20/20 or else I would have mentioned a direct comparison; I tried to be careful not to mislead on that aspect. I surmise that there is quite a difference in sound since the "transition" driver is eliminated, and a... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers I have been biting my tongue on this thread since it started. I am pleased to announce that the first half of my review of the Legacy Focus HD is now on Dagogo.com - the second half will be posted on Feb. 15th. | |
| Different lengths of interconnects ?????? It will work perfectly if you place the speaker using the shorter IC 18" further out and toe it in three degrees more. ;) Seriously, buy equal length IC's; if you ever rearrange your gear and are short on one IC, you'll kick yourself. Think long t... | |
| Dynaudio Sapphire speaker I am a reviewer, so you can take my comments with a grain of salt if you wish. I heard both the Sapphire and the Aventis Phobos two weeks ago at a dealer. The rig, aside from speakers, was: T+A cdp, T+A tube pre, Transparent Opus MM (top of the li... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? Mrtennis, something tells me you don't want to believe such differences could exist. By the way OF COURSE men's and women's brains will be mostly identical! However, the differences are critical! If you can't see that, I'm not going to spend an ho... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? Mrtennis, you write:what is the evidence and/or basis of all the geneder-specific analysis of "female" behavior ?C'mon, tell me you're joking. You really can't see something this obvious? It's not JUST socialization, it's both genetic and socializ... | |
| Where are the female Audiophiles? Pzuckerman, the notion that only male birds sing is incorrect, The comparison to humans is very thin, as humans do not speak almost exclusively for mating purposes. (Not trying to be argumentative, just factual)However, your analysis of women is q... | |
| The most important link in the chain... It doesn't get any better as you get progressively higher end. Keeping with the chain analogy, if you start lowly, with the equivalent of a steel chain, if one link is weak, i.e. plastic, the chain can break. However, as you get more and more refi... | |
| Are bad rooms keeping the hobby alive? Chadnliz, I'm glad you're enjoying the room! It was a dream for you, so it's immensely satisfying when it call comes together. However, just to develop the argument (not at all in the negative sense; Chad is a nice guy!), I'll disagree with you (j... | |
| GIRL NEWBIE Your post will draw lots of attention with a title like that! :) Audio places are like Hair Club for Men, with too much testosterone and not enough female input. Sort of the way women would be excited to show a man how to decorate a living room, e... | |
| What DAC can improve REGA Saturn? Richard, I've used Tara Labs and MIT recently in reviews on Dagogo.com. You can get some sense of difference in manufacturer's products from those reviews. The Magnan Digital Cable was very refined. However, you might find the MIT to give you more... |
