Compatible Speakers for a Coda
My Coda, a different model but same power specs, has played well with everything. It runs class A for 12 watts and a high sensitivity speaker will likely always stay within that envelope at sane volumes. With peak current of 150 a it's hard to ima... 
How are you hearing no difference?
I've never understood why people who claim everything sounds the same are even in to the audio hobby, and especially why they spend so much effort across the various audio forums trying to convince people they aren't hearing what they are hearing.... 
klipsh forte III purchase
I wonder if any response graphs have been released? If so it might give a fair idea of how they sound, since finding a way to hear them is difficult. The smoothest response out there is the Chorus II. The Forte one has a lot of fans but you can su... 
Schiit Reference Sytem review: Freya into Yggdrasil, into Vidar
Ha! Like it. 
Interconnects and non-believers
Cable trolls are some of the most boring trolls.  
Interconnects and non-believers
I just put in some Mogami 2549 rca's from my cdp to my SEP amp. I picked them up for $20, figuring it's always nice to have some cables lying around. I'm going to buy some more, they sound better than the BJ LC1's I was using. Mainly they have mor... 
What used speakers raraely come up for sale
On ebay just about every used speaker is 'rare'. The three identical speakers down the page say so too. 
Tekton Double Impacts
Maybe you should all wait 6 months. For the triple impacts to come out. :) 
Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy?
01-09-2018 11:55amI cannot believe the horn troll is still at it. Gee, maybe I should listen to her, and get rid of my modified Klipsch Lascalas. NOT !Ha! It apparently likes to listen to itself repeat logical fallacies in place of sound arguments. 
Who makes the best "Coaxial" Tweeter/Midrange design?
I'd like to hear the Hsu CCB8. The word around is stellar imaging. Nice price bracket too. 
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
The GE's aren't the product of a DIY'er feigning professionalism badly. That's a convincing selling point to me. That’s the least convincing selling point I’ve ever heard. It’s feigning a rational appeal. Badly.  
If you like Revel F208, you would love ....
Threads like this make me feel impoverished. But I like them!I've heard the Revels and the Pearls. Love em both. 
Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III
The two contenders here sound nothing alike. My findings are similar to Phil’s. I was using VMPS models for 12 years. Very engaging planar mids with outstanding bass response. I picked up a set of Klipsch Quartets for cheap at an estate sale, for ... 
Why have the prices of Marantz and Sansui speakers have gone up so much? Whyyyy???
Vintage audio is a fad right now that seems to be growing. Everybody wants to be a flipper too and price things like they are funding their retirements. People do also collect those terrible sounding speakers because they think 'kabuki' is cool or... 
Wilson Speakers & Reviewers
It’s really a question that just invites speculation with no grounding. A waste of time with the trappings of typical trolling-not so veiled insinuation.Because, obviously, "a lot of them" end up with many other brands as well.A better question mi...
