| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva May be least influential designs but one of the best sounding and most reliable amp I've ever heard or owned. | |
| Raidho D1 audition Kiwi, sorry I forgot to respond to your post. I agree with you wholeheartedly. People who think they are objective and can distill the sound of a speaker based on anechoic FR measurement show there lack of understanding of how a speaker performs i... | |

| Raidho D1 audition Jwm, in the past my taste in gear was polar opposite of JV's. But the Raidho's are different. | |
| Raidho D1 audition Stereotaipei, you have an amazing setup, better than 99.99% of the so called reviewers out there. I can only imagine the length and expense you've put in your setup. IMO, the room is the most important audio component. Get that right, and you can ... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Ngchaisooon, Raidho's are better in almost every way, but the D1s are twice the cost of the Sasons. Raidho's have more refined and extended high frequency response, are more coherent and holographic, have better microdynamics and blacker backgroun... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Usermanual, based on your response I pretty sure you don't have a dedicated room that's been treated properly. And I doubt you can have the capacity to properly evaluate a speaker or any other audio component, subjectively or objectively. Have fun... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Usermanual, what is the extent of your experience with the D1? Have you actually auditioned it in your home? What electronics did you use with the D1? What is the dimension of your room? What room treatments do you have? Have you measured your roo... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Usermanual, Actually they did back in 2001 to 2006, including the discontinued martin logan 4 tower statements. you really need to do your fact checking.Who cares what JV says. If you buy equipment based on reviewers, you are in a sad state. He us... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Usermanual, you have a knack for coming to erroneously oversimplified conclusions to complex subjects, as you did with FR. Now you assume I have never heard the Magicos based on a sentence from this single thread. If you did your homework, you wou... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Freq response measured by a reviewer or by the manufacturer tells you little about how the speakers will measure in your room. So extrapolating some published freq response (measured in anechoic or quasi-anechoic condition) to someone's home envir... | |
| Raidho D1 audition Hey this is subjective. If you can't handle that then you're in the wrong forum. And by tonally I meant timbral accuracy, not frequency response, which I find to be one of the worst objective measurement to assess speaker sound. But if freq respon... | |
| Raidho D1 audition I have a strong music background having trained in classical guitar mostly and regularly attend live performances at very good halls for classical, jazz, big band music. The Raido D1 is the closest thing to the real thing I've heard as long as you... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Vmhf, thanks for feedback on your tube rolling. I've wanted to try the Golden Lion KT88s, but hesitated because no one has reported about them with he Carvers. Now, I need to save up. How much is a pair of EAT 12AX7s? | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly BTW, I've had GP in my amps for the past 2 years (had the amps for about 3 years I think). I've had zero problems (no hum, no pops, no tube hiss). Bias setting is stable once set. These amps are the most reliable tube amp I've ever owned, on par w... |
