| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? invictus005, I believe most will disagree with you including myself. Bass grip is not the end all for an amplifier design. I auditioned the Devialet, and it doesn’t have the harmonic richness of most tube amps or the best solid state amps. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Atmasphere, seems like you’re claiming no amplifier designer knows how to design an amp that will be just as good driving a 4 ohm load as driving an 8 ohm load. Am I correct? I don’t think you speak for all amplifier designers out there.Apogee did... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Your argument that apogee would sound better if it were higher impedance is false based on imperial evidence. Case in point the 1 ohm Schintilla sounded better than 4 ohm Schintilla, as long as you could find an amp that could drive 1 ohm load. ... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @atmasphere I generally try to ignore your posts because many times you indirectly seem to be hawking your own amps. But I have interject here in protest of your negative statement about 4 ohm speakers. I owned on of your amps in the past and very... | |
| What’s in a watt “Naim watt superior to others”. That’s a good one. A watt is a watt, strictly defined mathematically. Someone is trying to sell you snake oil. That being said, an amplifier can deliver different amount of power power depending on the load and fre... | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable Whatever you may think of high end cables that cost more than most high end electronics or speakers, the cable manufacturers are laughing all the way to the bank. Fool an audiophile once, shame on him. Fool him twice, shame on cable manufacturer.... | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? @geoffkait Ear candle? I’m younger than all you old farts. I’m like a bat and hear beyond 40kHz! | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? @ebm Yes, those $10k cables sound great when you whip them against the a concrete wall. The startling dynamics is the best. ;) | |
| Are audiophiles still out of their minds? @naimfan Hey I say if audiophiles don’t mind getting duped and ripped off by “high end” cable manufacturers, by all means have all the fun until their hearts are content. Revisiting this thread, I’m glad there are some skeptics who realize the abs... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @cd318 Ah, my bad. Rich Timbre is very well known to Harbeth, Daedalus, Quad ESL 57, Apogee (if set up right), Divore Fidelity, Hyperion (now almost if not defunct), etc. Not as elusive as you thought. | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? @cd318“@dracule1 seems to be a very elusive master of disguise popping up only very rarely in audio circles.”Hmm...I have 5x more posts than you. | |
| Who makes the highest quality tube amps? @clearthink"ozzy"The newest Carver amps are really quite special."Does that mean that your's haven't caught on fire yet? " Clearthink, you're not thinking clearly. If you're referring to 40+ year old SS Phaselinear amps that people over drove a... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? Who's Rich Timbre? Never heard of the guy. | |
| Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers Ozzy, your experience with the Carver amp reminds me of mine with my Carver Cherry 180 amp. I bought it around 9 years ago. I bought a new custom speaker and started to drive it with the Carver. However, the bass sounded weak and the bias meter wo... | |
| Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers Unfortunately, engineers, especially the ones who graduated just from college, only believe in what they can measure on the scope. Break in as far as speakers are concerned is real, just like an old worn leather shoe feels much more comfortable t... |
