| Have you seen the VR9SE Review? i also have a pair of VR-9's. my previous speakers were eggleston andra-2's, which are very musical and simply a joy to listen to hour after hour. so i simply adjusted the 9's to sound like the egg's-the 9's kinda sound similar to the egglestons a... | |
| Speaker recomendations please the von schweikert line of speakers offer very good value for the money- they're accurate as well as musical, and offer deep bass as if "it's not even a big deal". i bought a pair of VS's without hearing them 1st, something i would normally NEVER ... | |
| Am I a burning out audiophile???? well, have you ever been to an audio show, or visited a local store, where a system that exceeds all logic and common sense(i.e.- an enormous pair of speakers driven by enormous monoblocks, ditto for the preamp, cdp, wire, whatever) is demonstrate... | |
| Vandersteen 2ce sigs? Beginner needs guidance. if you can get out and audition B&W speakers and decide you like the sound, there are alot of models both new and used to choose from. their kevlar midrange is one of the great contributions to high-end audio. i had a pair of M801's and they w... | |
| Levinson 33H or 20.6 my pair of 33h amps not only haven't ever misbehaved, in addition, when i get a brown-out (temporary power-outage), the amps turn themselves completely off whether they're playing music or not. this means i have to put them back into standby first... | |
| Good Advice my 1st really good set of speakers- ADS-L810's, looked great and sounded wonderful. at the time they were an expensive investment for me- $900. words cannot express how much i enjoyed them; to this day i miss them. now i have a pair of speakers th... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? VON SCHWEIKERT VR-9 SE'S- you can (almost) squeeze a symphony orchestra into your living room with these puppies; my beloved eggleston andras, one of the most musical and balanced speakers from 20 to 20 i had ever heard, could never really convinc... | |
| Stereo stand with adjustable shelves i've had two deluxe justaracks (each has 4 shelves) for over 10 years now (michael green audio). audio advisor used to carry them, with the salmanders as a lower cost alternative. the justaracks came in black and a speckled-charcoal finish- neithe... | |
| Tivoli Radio??? i went all-out and bought a tivoli clock radio with the stereo speaker and TWO subwoofers (using a splitter cable readily available at Best Buy). all this is set up on either side of my bed on nite-stands. i listen to alot of jazz late at nite and... | |
| Vandersteen 5A or Eggleston Works Andra II vandersteen may have 29 yrs of experience, but the andra-1became one of the best sounding speakers on the market regardless of price in one stroke (of genius). then eggleston improved it by "30%" when offering the andra-2's- the reviewer in stereo... | |
| cable upgrades , real or rip off here's something to really make you nuts-i have upgraded transparent cable several times according to budget constraints, and each time i noticed an incremental (pleasant) improvement in the sound. then 6 mo.ago i ordered the next level up which w... | |
| Which Vivaldi Four Seasons CD to buy??? trevor pinnock on archiv - not only great performances butexceptional sound. as for vivaldi, i suggest you don't limit yourself to the "4 seasons"- La Stravaganza (and numerous other string concertos) is a gorgeous piece of music (also on archiv).... | |
| Unusually good power cord for the money? rule #1- save buying after-market pwr cords for lastrule #2- never spend more than $300 for one (used of course);this is the limit i like to set for myself- you set your own. i happen to like dimarzio pwr cords- $225 retail,and you can get them fo... | |
| Atma-Sphere amps with Eggleston Andra II's i don't know enough about atma-sphere amps or otl tube gear,but all speakers have impedence dips, some go to 2 ohms for sure. but an amp with 220W should be able to comfortably drive a wide range of speakers. i've used rowland m-12's (200W), a kre... | |
| Accurate vs Musical substitute the word "analytical" for "accurate" and i think you can contrast speakers in a more meaningful way. speakers that specifically provide a wealth of detail are needed in a pro-audio application, so that engineers can nit-pick flaws when ... |
