| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail Many audiophiles love Magico (including Valin of AS). I don’t detest them but I would never want to own any of the dozen or so models I have heard at shows and audio salons locally 18! times. Sometimes I can blame the accompanying electronics (Jad... | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail No, the Acoras are not the equivalent of the Von Schweikert Ultra series. However, they are very good for the price but not the best speakers on the planet. Give me a break. Every high end manufacturer thinks their speakers are the greatest. I... | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail Three of the four YouTube Videos of this speaker don't use classic music that I can relate to and the fourth is also not stressing it out. I want to hear it with a classic orchestral and big band jazz recording to get a sense of dynamics and sc... | |
| A warm DAC? bo1972 Patricia Barber, Diana Krall recordings-YUK! I heard that Lumin makes very fine DAC streamers but if it were based on those recordings, I couldn't trust it. Try some 50's-60's jazz or classical (or even pop that was well recorded and m... | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail What do you mean by void mirror image designs? If you mean avoid, the Lansche looks like a mirror image (top and bottom) around a central tweeter. | |
| Speaker upgrade around 100k retail My choice is either a used half price pair of Von Schweikert Ultra 9s (I've heard the Ultra 11s-1/2 the size, perfect for your room) or 55 Aktive Ultras. | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. anzaanimalclinic Can you tell me why one of our cats (smaller one) enjoys peeing in our bathroom sinks occasionally? We've had cats for 35 years and this (intelligent) cat does this once every two weeks. I suspect she sees us using the sink and... | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. Have your audio equipment listed under scheduled property as a separate part of your homeowners policy. Also, insurance policies vary from HO3 to HO5+, the former is comparable to having the minimal auto insurance and the latter, the highest li... | |
| You know you are an Audiophile when: You have a dedicated audio room. Absolutely, with audio engineered construction at $500/sq ft.Your listening chair is in the “Sweet Spot”. Not really, three sweet seated sweet spots. I dislike head in a vise sound. Maybe four sweet spots.You ... | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! I use several types of Stillpoints most of my equipment. My new DAC does not sound good (hard or unfocused) with Stillpoints, cones or vibrapod type footers. It was designed with vibration in mind. My amps, 2 pre-amps/phono preamp, analog speed co... | |
| Footers under my speakers double the perceived value of my speakers! I live in earthquake country. Putting ultra-minis under 200 lb speakers does not seem wise for my speakers. My 185 lb speakers rest on four widely spaces metal cones into a 12" thick 3000 lb PSI steel reinforced slab. Vibration is not a concern... | |
| Anybody want a laugh? I second millercarbon's opinion on HFTs. I have installed 32 of them, 3 types. Five levels plus 5 per speaker (tweeter HFTs are a fail on my speakers). The most important HFT is the side speaker ones with 1/8" change radically changes the freq... | |
| Will a $700 turntable outperform a CD player? Yes, an inexpensive, well built turntable can outperform many CD players (especially the 40 or 50 I tried from it's inception to 2005). I have found that modern CD players, and; in particular, recent DACs with separate transports with well master... | |
| Why Don't More People Into Music Reproduction At Home Play Around With Musical Instruments I play piano (not well) and have sung in multiple city choirs for the past 47 years. I sight read and have excellent singers pitch. I am a part time recording engineer for a symphony, chamber group and multiple choirs. I prefer following score... | |
