| 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... | |
| Does the WATT/Puppy 8 image as well as the 7? after hearing sonus fabers and eggleston andra's, i personally lost interest in wilson audio's quest to make "the best speakers in the world". one of the absolutely best MADE, no question. but sound-wise, while they are incredibly resolving,they a... | |
| At a Levinson crossroads .... need advice. the levinson 23.5 is no longer "the last word" in stereo amps, but it can still bring music to life WAY better than nad ordenon, hafler, etc. something i had to experience for myself through my demo B&W 801's. and the BASS coming out of those ... | |
| At a Levinson crossroads .... need advice. i had a #37 that made a scraping sound and also did some skipping (after about 4 years from brand new). there is a kit that costs under $50 that replaces the lift-mechanism that puts the cd in the "play" position. you have to open the unit (remove... | |
| Reel to Reel for play back playback only must mean you already can get tapes? the nice thing about a r-to-r is IF you can get some good vinyl to record, the results are very good even with a teac. or you can have some fun with microphones and a guitar et.al. teacs are not t... |
