| Black ice Audio owners, pet peaves Yeah, tough read. I hate to admit this, really, but just the Black Ice logo alone is enough to make me not want to buy it. Sad I know. It just looks, well, tacky and cheap. It may sound damn good though for all I know.... | |
| Customer Service at Bowers and Wilkins Kind of strange post jon_5912, but everyone has their own valid opinions. I thought it just a bit out of place, as the OP was just expressing his views on customer service, which is nice to hear about these days! Regardless of sound quality, I gu... | |
| Eichmann binding post caps broke again/ Suggestions on something better Most neutral? Well, how long is a piece of string? Not to be smart here, but....As to the plastic on the Mundorf posts, it may look cheap, in fact there have been comments made to this very thing on various components that use them, Duevel, Octave... | |
| Eichmann binding post caps broke again/ Suggestions on something better I would also agree on the Mundorfs. | |
| Seeking input on Larsen speakers sfmorris-I am not sure what is classified as heavy rock exactly...I have never been into metal, but my fare typically was a huge dose of classic rock, Genesis, Yes, Pink Floyd and the likes, as well as various jazz, folk, acoustic, some electronic... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification Excellent! Used, the PS Audio and Bel Canto both seem like bargains overall. Even new, neither one is a bad deal by any stretch! Have fun and enjoy the trip! | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification Interesting Bond, glad you found something that fits you better. I have been wondering how the PS Audio Stellar class D amps would fare on the Ohms. I have not heard them, seem to get good comments though, and the price on them is very reasonable ... | |
| Seeking input on Larsen speakers One other speaker that gets a miss and is still available, the Direct Acoustics Silent Speaker. The looks may not be great, but the price to fun factor is in the extreme here. I owned a pair for a few years.These can be placed very close to the wa... | |
| Ohm Walsh Talls and amplification For starters, use cubic feet and Ohms chart for the correct speaker, so if your ceilings are 8’, then your measurement is going to be 2824, which puts you right at the upper edge of the 2000. Sometimes with overlapping numbers, you can chose based... | |
| Seeking input on Larsen speakers Well, they are really crap, cheap drivers, terrible build, look and sound bad. That is what one shopkeep told me to my face. Strange I thought, I have had a pair of Model 4’s for over five years! Guess I was listening to crap all that time!Serious... | |
| Best realistic omni type speaker option? Yes, the GamuT integrated would have been superb I think! The Obs certainly like the current a good amplifier can deliver, providing it sounds good, of course! I am sure you will manage! Enjoy! | |
| Best realistic omni type speaker option? br-Not to hijack this thread with talks on the Obelisk, I am doubtful you are getting any where near the capability that the Obs can give with the little Pear amp, but I could be wrong. Yes, it will drive the Obs and play music, but they are quite... | |
| Best realistic omni type speaker option? br3098-I would mirror your comments on the Shahinian Obelisk. That was one of the fantastic traits of them to my ears, the layering of music, a real depth, they had an uncanny way of making a vocalist or instruments have real 3-dimensional body. N... | |
| Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound? Bag End as noted above is a great suggestion, their gear is robust, and will give what you require. I have no idea on their pricing these days though....Regardless, there are many ways to skin the cat. Have fun! | |
| Best realistic omni type speaker option? Duevel is very possible to get in the US, just not a demo. I can vouch for Pascal Ravach of Mutine in Canada, the North American distributor. I purchased Venus last May, love them. As to other Omni types I have owned, various Ohms, very good, Lars... |
