| New Guarneri Memento vs. Old Guarneri Homage after reading all of this (the review is quite good btw), i would suggest that if the newer speakers (G.mementos) are not CLEARLY better sounding than the original Guarneri's in just about every area, then something is seriously wrong at sonus fab... | |
| If money were no object, what would be in your rig just as a side-bar to this question- WHAT IF the only BIG Improvements you could get over what you have on (let us say) redbook cd's- which i have the most of to begin with, is a LOUDER system, with more watts, more spl's, and so on? I.E.-i don't ... | |
| Good upgrade from Levinson 33H's well i AM going to try a ps audio soloist premier (the thing that goes into the wall with the upgraded black outlet that got a favorable review) to feed the amps. a rep at ps audio assured me that it does not limit current. even though the amplifi... | |
| Good upgrade from Levinson 33H's i would like to add an additional comment if i may to this thread-As i sit down to listen to music, (even to this day) i come away still amazed at how clean and clear and Dynamic my system sounds, with ML-33H's driving the von schweikert VR9's. ev... | |
| New Eggleston Savoys ? on the one hand they are the epitome of a full range loudspeaker, no question.on the other... the point man at egglestonworks once told me the ORIGINAL savoys are extremely revealing and are "more like studio monitors". i would imagine that means ... | |
| Good upgrade from Levinson 33H's i would add, in all fairness, that the OLD PASS ALEPH 1.2'S sound incredible. of course they run very HOT, the power switch is in the BACK next to the speaker connectors, which is really dumb. then there's the impedence problem (they don't provide... | |
| Good upgrade from Levinson 33H's i also have 33h's and have ALSO wondered what would REALLY be better. i have heard halcro and the new vtl's and would not get them. i have NOT heard dartzeel or goldmund, etc. PROBLEM IS: the levinson's are very transparent imho EVEN THROUGH my vo... | |
| Smallest speakers that ROCK jbl studio series- inexpensive but very dynamic- great for madonna or hendrix. | |
| Les Paul dead at 84 nt. still another reminder of how much i am becoming a fan of jazz guitar, after so many years of praising rock guitarists. i still love R&Roll, but the almost insane ability to closely imitate jazz piano on just six strings drives me crazy (in a ... | |
| The best small bookshelf speaker you ever heard? TWO come to mind- sonus faber electra amators and B&W silver signatures, BUT you wouldn't actually want to put them on a bookshelf per se. | |
| Vintage speakers from the 70's and 80's i had a pair of ads-810-2 and was VERY happy with them. BUT, when i bought a high-current amp (100w/ch) i melted the tweeter protection fuses a couple of times (although radio shack had replacements). so they are not for black sabbath at woodstock... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? i have been reading speaker reviews for the last 15-20 years or so, and i am always struck by the models that sound good right away with little or no set-up issues, VERSUS those that take forever to place/break in/modify the room acoustics/change ... | |
| Upgrading from Wilson Sophia 2's? it is inexcusable to have speakers costing over 10 grand (or for that matter ONE grand) that sound this disappointing. the sophias are good transducers, no question, but raising this many issues in (what sounds like) a decent room with very good c... | |
| Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES speaking from experience, unfortunately if you saw the utility grade of wire (i.e.- lamp-cord) in the eggleston speaker cabinets you would no longer worry about their being made by anyone in particular. not that they don't do the job, but they are... | |
| Great old speakers that are as good as new ones my 1st really great speakers were the ADS-L-810-2. beautiful walnut veneers, and imaging that nothing else i heard at the time could equal. they were dynamically limited however, and the tweeter fuse would blow if your amp was more than 50W-75W or... |
