| Machina Dynamic Brilliant Pebbles? O.K. guys, here's the explanation to why they work:The pebbles have both a mass and resonance structure that will affect some components sound, believe it or not. Are they "brilliant"...uh, NO!! not in my opinion. Here's a much more effective solu... | |
| Bang and Olufsen I knew one of the B&O engineers who did some of their programming on their micros for their receivers. He told me that the top flagship B&O speaker (at the time) had a tweeter that didn't even cost $10 per driver! He basically felt that ev... | |
| Upgrading my tweeters and need some opinions...... Absolutely great tweeters on the cheap (all are very solid recommendations IMHO):The ring radiator is one of the easiest to integrate into quite a few different crossover configurations (ever wonder how Polk managed to make it work so easily?). It... | |
| Best Speakers below $1000 for my needs The GR Research Criteron or Dilucio is one of the best bang for the bucks in monitor speakers that I have ever heard (and I've heard most). They use crossover components typically only found in $5,000+ speakers. Creative Sound in Canada is current... | |
| why doesn't everyone own a pair of spica's??? Hi Audiomax,The point of my posting was to make others (including the original poster) aware that the Spicas cannot really "compete with almost anything on the market" as he hypothosized.In terms of a "fair" price comparitive monitor that equals o... | |
| Review: Ridge Street Audio Designs Sason Ltd. Loudspeaker Monitor Hi,Just wanted to post "my two cents" here as I have spent quite a few days with the Sason speakers in my crib:Basically the Sason granite monitors are one of the best (if not the absolute best) monitor speakers that I have ever expereinced. The S... | |
| why doesn't everyone own a pair of spica's??? "the tc-60's coupled with a good sub apparently can compete with almost anything playing anything on the market today"....Unfortunately that is quite a bit if an overstatement! Spica was at the leading edge in affordable high end audio 20 years ag... | |
| Ultimate challenge biggest bang speaker GR Research is the best buy I have ever seen in terms of a speaker manufacturer using ultra state of the art crossover parts (that aren't even seen in some $20k+ speakers), yet charging a fraction for the relative performance his speakers deliver.... | |
| Audiofest in Michigan Oct 9th and 10th Babes with mini skirts?....at an audio get together?...............YOU BET! Currently we are having a brass pole cryo treated. It is made out of 16 nines brass. The resonant points will be damped with carbon fiber cones attached to a maple floor t... | |
| Is it worth spending $10k on CD-only player today? NO, NO, NO, NO, No, NO!!!!All you have to do is look back over the years and feel sorry for all the audiophiles who baought a DCS, Mark Levisnon or similar "state of the art" over $10k processer. All of these offerings can now be handily trounced ... | |
| SPICA 's in Home Theater Setup Good god, that is one speaker choice that I personaly would never even conisder for a home theater system (Bau never intended any of his speakers to handle the kind of power levels and peaks that are typical in home theater playback environments).... | |
| Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range Larry,The Pipedreams I am familiar with are the big ones as I have a friend who owns them. These speakers are far from perfect though. He is having to re-engineer everything from the crossovers to the electronics in the subs! I think many audiophi... | |
| Info / opinions re: Outlaw 1050 HT receiver I own two;Ease of use - Can be slightly confusing if having to switch back and forth on inputs since the digital/COAX connection is not self detecting and has to be toggled thru...Ease of use is the Outlaw's slight downfall IMHOSound - Superior to... | |
| Own Piega p10 thinking Vandersteen 5 or 5A From my own limited experience with these two speakers: The 5A is better than the P10 in terms of excellent ultra low bass, overall bass impact and integration with the other speaker's drivers. IMHO the 5A is very special in that it has no readily... | |
| Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range My vote goes to GR-Research Alphas (think of a speaker similar to Pipedreams). I know of no other speaker that will come close to doing what the Alphas will do in terms of freedom from congestion, soundstage height, scale of dynamics and output or... |
