| Interesting observations slimpikins5, welcome to HiFi. Now, please don't tell me you will take another several years before you try better IC, SC and PC. | |
| Joseph vs Legacy in 7K range? I would consider the comparison of the Calibre to the Profile to be the inverse of what would be expected typically in comparison of a bookshelf speaker to a tower speaker. A breakdown of these two could be instructive. The Profile is said by Jos... | |
| Joseph vs Legacy in 7K range? I think audiotroy meant that you cannot equate the two. Consider the influence of driver size, which is pervasive. It doesn't matter the company or pedigree. There is no replacing the effect of larger driver surface area. Acreage is critical t... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided +1 surfcat I was crafting my reply at about the same time as you and did not see it until I posted. We seem to be approaching the topic similarly. As a former chintziphile who displayed the arrogance that so often comes with ignorance, I don't ha... | |
| Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided If you have problems with the gear flippers, you can always go to the ignorant for advice. As we all know, lack of experience is a huge advantage. ;) Don't think for a moment that holding a system for decades is advantageous, except fiscally. ... | |
| The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard +1 noromance I didn't think anyone would remember Cat's in the Cradle How about Harry Chapin's Taxi (didn't scan all responses) Here's a really deep one; William Shatner "Struggle" | |
| VAC and Kevin Hayes are totally unresponsive. What's up with that? As a reviewer who knows Kevin personally, my characterization is that he and company are old school on communication tech, but rigorous on wanting to maintain quality in equipment and communication and customer satisfaction when established. Kev... | |
| Best light weight full range speaker recommendation. Doesn't buy into the weight argument. Hopeless. Have fun with it anyway. :) | |
| Does Time alignment and Phase coherency make for a better loudspeaker? Every speaker manufacturer needs a hook, a set of claims to sell speakers. Nothing new. | |
| Legacy Focus XD - will I ever upgrade? Not surprised at that reviewer’s findings in regard to the Legacy i.V2 amp. Having worked with 2 vs. 4 channels of the i.V4 Ultra, I would not be without the two additonal channels for use with any speaker, from efficient to more difficult to driv... | |
| Are Ohm Walsh's a step up from Martin Login Electro Motion ESL's mapman, yes, that's why I stated true omni as problematic. He could make a quasi-omni work, but still it's not ideal. I concur with there not being a clear step up transitioning from small ESL to small omni. He could force the issue, but has a wal... | |
| Are Ohm Walsh's a step up from Martin Login Electro Motion ESL's A true omni is not an ideal recommendation for that room if the positioning is that close to wall, and because of the corner. The man would have to treat the corner, which could screw up the M/T. It might be a different story if the room could be ... | |
| Are Ohm Walsh's a step up from Martin Login Electro Motion ESL's All speakers will leap in sound quality with improvements of the system. The improvement is relative, not absolute, as though the MLs are now vastly outstripping the performance of other speakers. There are dozens of levels of such improvement on ... | |
| Legacy Focus XD - will I ever upgrade? mikekollar, my ceiling height in the room is 7.5' and the dimensions are 13' x 23', so unless your room has a very low ceiling it will work. If you look at my system images you can see that I do not adhere to the received wisdom that you cannot u... | |
| Legacy Focus XD - will I ever upgrade? I have reviewed several Legacy Audio speakers for Dagogo.com, if you care to read the reviews. Upgrading to higher models is worthwhile, as the performance changes dramatically. I owned the Focus HD, then the Focus SE, and went to the Whisper, fin... |
