| Anyone in Vegas listen to the Gilmore speakers??? CW: Let me guess; You live in New England?I thought the Gilmores construction was first rate.It would be hard to flub a design this simple.I did think the black metal frame holding the ribbon could have been gold/chrome plated, however.The sound o... | |
| Anyone Check Out Almarro Products Loudspeakers?... The Almarro M50A's (driven by 6 tube watts) were: - Nicely balanced top-to-bottom. slight emphasis on upper midrange gave them good "jump".- Very clean treble via ribbon tweeter.

| Metal speakers. How are they? Slaps: Maybe mix a little beryllium with the pony's oats? | |
| Metal speakers. How are they? Materials don't (shouldn't) matter. At an introductory seminar (Rosine Audio -Skokie, IL), Arnie Nudell (founder of Infinity and Genesis speakers) was asked if diamond coated drivers would sound good replied: "Drivers made of horse-shit would soun... | |
| Tube Equipment: Gimmick? To me, tubes VS solid state is like fresh fruit VS canned.Think of peeling an orange at its peak of freshness. Its spray, its perfume, its immediacy. Taste the orange. "Ah! this is an ORANGE!"Now open a can of mandarin oranges.Same color? Same sha... | |
| Audio Research VT-50 Question As long as you use quality tubes and rebias to factory specs there should be no reduction of sound quality.Using "matched pairs" of tubes will help some.Also, allow for tubes to burn in. Phone Audio Research and ask Lenard to send you instructions... | |
