| Speaker Imaging - Do you hear a line, or do you hear an arc?? the closer they are to the speakers the more your image is anchored on the speakers while forming a "U" between the speakers (speaker output is reinforced with short delay reflections). That's probably at least partly my issue. << sigh ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 It really makes you double think your choices when you sell something that quickly!! :D Erik | |
| LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U Nice to hear!!I've never tried a Luxman Tube, but the integrated tubes have always interested me.... but really have no long term use for them. | |
| Why HiFi manufacturers don't make active crossovers anymore? You absolutely need to start doing and stop thinking. Grab a minidsp and a pair of stereo amps and see if you can make a working stereo pair. | |
| Is the dynamic advantage of cones just distortion? If we are talking about measured distortion in an anechoic room, I've never seen any panel come down as low as the best dynamic drivers, nor have I seen them get as close in smoothness of frequency response or dynamic range as equivalent dynamic s... | |
| Tube amp mono block recomendations For the record, I've never heard any Audio Note electronics. :) | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps Thanks, Mike!! A little far for an afternoon drive from Los Angeles. :) | |
| Is the dynamic advantage of cones just distortion? Nope, not at all. The big advantage of panels is the planar dispersion giving them a higher ratio of direct to reflected sound.Otherwise, in almost every measurement, a top tier dynamic system will outperform a panel.Buy what you like. Buy what in... | |
| Tube amp mono block recomendations Conrad Johnson Premiere 8's can be had in great condition and prices. :) Big bold sound, amazing imaging. | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps oh, and very interesting is the Anthem with built in room correction. Really wish I could hear that in action. | |
| Ultimate Integrated amps I'm a big Luxman fan myself.Other middle ground integrateds include Yamaha and Accuphase, and the ARC and McIntosh tube ints. | |
| Warm Class D for horns? I recommend the ICEPower module based amps. I found them quite warm, comparable to the Parasound A21/A23Best,E | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load Hi @golfnutz Wow, huge difference in my dislike for particular brands, and being on a crusade. I’ve never disrespected anyone for liking Pass. I’ve never told them they were wrong. I have however said that Pass was not to my taste, for reasons I d... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load And George, we can go through reams of posts where some one says : "I heard a Class D amp and I liked Y about it" well, moments later there you are trying to explain that they can’t like Y because 20 years ago some one measured something, so the p... | |
| What Class D amps will drive a 2 ohm load I'm sorry George, let me restate that. I've never seen you pass an opportunity to tell some one who says they like class D why they should not. If there is anything you are passionate about here it seems to be correcting people who like Class D. E... |
