| Review: Portal Panache Integrated Amplifier Audiophiles love sound as well as music. Some love sound more than music and strive to assemble systems that excel at sonics even if this may come at the expense of what others consider good music reproduction.There's nothing wrong with this, I ha... | |
| Speakers to replace Proac Response 3's Why does he want to upgrade? The ProAcs seem like a good choice. | |
| What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps? Yeah, that LS2B is choking your system! | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons 6moons did a piece on the Green Mountan Continuum last November, which is rich with discussion of these issues. One of the best audio articles I've read. Read it here. | |
| Dynaudio or Green Mountain Europa's I have Europas but don't have enough Dynaudio experience to comment on the two in comparison. What the Europas do extremely well is communicate the ENERGY of high-energy music. Rock, jazz are very exciting, moreso than with any speaker I've ever o... | |
| First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons I don't have the technical chops to make a great contribution to this discussion, but my understanding is this: first-order crossovers confer benefits in terms of maintaining phase accuracy (coherency?) across the drivers. The price for doing this... | |

| Review: Tyler Acoustics Linbrook Signature Monitors Monitor Great review--you did an excellent job of communicating the sound of the speakers without relying on the usual battery of empty audiophile jargon. I'd really love to hear these someday.Which stands and at what height do you have them? | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Me too. Dar Williams "The Honesty Room" comes to mind. | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Oh s**t! I just realized I have that, and on hybrid SACD no less. Have to give a listen tonight. (I buy too much music.) | |
| What can you tell me about First Sound pre-amps? Just read Jadem6's extraordinary review of the Aesthetix pre. Have any of you First Sound enthusiasts heard the Aesthetix? | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Newbee, can you provide more information on that specific recording? There are at least two by Herreweghe on HM and I want to get the one you are referring to. |
