| minimonitor for Bat VK60 mono's? recently purchased a pair of AV Reality Avinci Ones and am completely blown away by their performance. In terms of mini-monitors, they have re-set my expectations of what was achievable from such a small speaker. From a driver implementation persp... | |
| I need some advice on speakers.. I STRONGLY recommend the AV Reality Studios. Absolute top of the line drivers with the Scan Speak 7" revelator woofer (If I remeber correctly this woofer has the fastest impulse response of any woofer made in the world). The Studios have same exac... | |
| "Downsizing" to a maybe better CDP? In terms of getting the most bang for your buck, forget players like the REGA or Cambridge and consider a Pioneer 24/96 DVD player modified by Stan Warren instead. It is much more musical than any of the "audiophile" cd players under $1200 IMHO. T... | |
| Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic I used to own a pair of Magnepan MGIIIa's for many years, spent an enormous amount of energy tweaking them, and constantly traded up to more powerful amplifiers trying to make them really sing. When I sold my Maggies I moved on to Avalons, which I... | |
| Which monitor speakers are the most detailed... In my opinion for $1000 the AV Reality Avinci Ones "take the cake". (Go to their website to read my glowing review). The best part about AV Reality is their price. For what they cost, they cannot be beat. Truly a state of the art designs with top ... | |
| Modifying a Pioneer Elite PD-65...... If you can get your hands on a 5 disc Aiwa XM-35 or XM-37 changer, it will soundly beat the Pioneer as a transport, and cost much less. Addtionally Stan Warren offers a very unique mod to it for a little over $100. Even with this mod, this transpo... | |
| Best speakers for 2000-USED Hi,Based on your criterea, I think that there may be a speaker company that you should investigate that is very new to the high end scene. It is called AV Reality. The speaker model that I think may fit your criterea is called the Avinci "Studio".... | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... Correction to my last post, I think that the guy used to work for Scan Speak (not Vifa). | |
| Monitor speakers - choices to narrowed down to... I've owned most of the big name speakers at one time or another (Thiel, Magnepan, Avalon, Legacy, Spica and Proac. Although I enjoyed all of these different speakers, but none had ever made me think that I got the deal of the century in terms of s... | |
| Audiophile Changer: Cool or Hopeless Compromise? To everyone reading this thread: The Aiwa 5 disc changer that Sugarbrie and I are recommending is sonically equivalent to the Wadia transport, if used with the optical out into a dac with 24 bit sigma delta D/A converters. This Aiwa "engineering a... | |
| Spica's TC 50 vs. Sound Dynamic RT 3's These speakers are very different from each other, and I have owned them both. Recently, I decided to keep the RTS-3's and sell the Spicas because of the RTS-3's ability to play much louder, play deeper bass, have more extended treble (and MUCH fa... | |
| Audiophile Changer: Cool or Hopeless Compromise? Sugarbrie is dead on with his Awia recomendation. I own one, and it is absolutely world class as long as it is used with a 24 bit dac with the optical connection. Obviously Awia DID NOT design this cheapo changer with the high end in mind, it is j... | |
| why are wilson speakers so highly regaurded. "Highly Regarded?" - In America, perception becomes reality.Wilson's are mentioned by many magazine reviewers, etc.. sometimes just because of their price and status of being at the top of the audiophile price chain.Just like ultra priced Krell an... | |
| looking for upgrade suggestions - 12,000 to spend Jadem6. I am not going to quantify this particular type of mod as a "success", because NOW WE ARE talking about potentially changing the "voicing" of John's original design intentions. Therefore "success" regarding this particular mod is "in the e... | |
| looking for upgrade suggestions - 12,000 to spend Audioguy, I am also curious about why Dunlavy does not consider using individualized Zobel networks on each of his drivers. This makes PERFECT electrical sense and is nothing more than correcting the inherent phase vector that is part of every dri... |
