| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Yeah Zman, that's kind of disappointing that the speaker has a crossover. I was kind of jazzed to try one without, knowing how many people feel that crossovers muck up the sound.Thanks for the tube amp recommendations. The Stingray looks sweet but... | |
| Zu Omen or Tekton Lore Hi everyone,I've got a few questions with respect to the M-Lore. I am leaning towards buying this speaker sometime in 2012 as part of my first step into high efficiency speakers mated to a tube amp. Questions:1. My room is about 13 x 11 - on the s... | |
| Speakers and system for compressed recordings? I agree with Kbarkamian...I think it's somewhat dependent on your system. Poor recordings were more problematic on past systems I've owned. I lucked into not having as big a problem with my current rig and there are very few albums that I cannot l... | |
| Integrated Amplifiers with neutral sound My Exposure 2010s2 sounds phenomenal with my warm Castles. Entry level Simaudio in it's place sounded too warm and sluggish (though I do have a Simaudio CD player).That's well below your limit though. In the same vain as Exposure, I would try LFD.... | |
| Does your amp/preamp/int amp have to look good? Looks matter to me. However...- would I buy something that looks good and sounds good? Of course. This is the ideal.- would I buy something that looks bad but sound good? Yes. Sound matters more.- would I buy something that looks good and sounds b... | |
| Are CD players dead Devilboy, that's a good point. I'm not sure how sales of CD players are going (as opposed to CDs). However, there sure are lots of CD players still in production. I'm sure sales are not what they once were, but I would think they are still selling... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I agree, there are many great players and I doubt you can definitively proclaim a clear winner. That won't stop me from nominating my player though!For a little over $1K, I think the Simaudio CD.5 is excellent, and I've chosen this over a few othe... | |
| Are CD players dead Well, given that you can still purchase thousands (if not millions of CDs) and that probably 98% of albums are still released on the medium, I'd say the CD player is far from dead. It is not the future, that's true, but that's a much different thi... | |
| Amp more important than speakers? going speakers first, might lock a person into a particular camp and I see that as a sort of drawback.if you grab a pr of panels because of how they image perhaps, then decide you want to try out an 8 watt 300b amp, it's speaker selling time!Yes. ... | |
| Amp more important than speakers? Want to comment on Blindjim's post. I don't necessarily disagree with your front-end-is-most-important position, though I think I'd side with many here who suggest it's about all the pieces and how they sound together.You suggest speakers don't fa... | |
| Which Quads: 12L2 or 11L Monitors? My experience is similar to Blkadr when it comes to the midrange and highs. I have the 12L2. The mids are a bit recessed, at least compared to my Tannoy DC6. But even before I had the Tannoy to compare them to, I suspected it. The highs are nice a... | |
| loudness wars: digital recording to improve? How the Kids These Days are Ruining Music.I think it is more the record companies that are ruining it. They are the ones who actually decide how an album is going to sound, not "the kids". You can probably blame some of the artists as well. On the... | |
| Monitor Audio RX2 Speakers I was able to do an in-home trial of the RX2 earlier this year. It was too much speaker for my room. The bass was boomy, and it felt like the speaker was pressurizing my room too much. I think I needed to give them more room to breathe. So if your... | |
| Buying new, but old speakers Thanks for the feedback everyone. I've been accumulating a few speakers lately. In addition to the Quads I'll try out the Avons and a pair of Tannoy Revolution DC6. Why the collection? Well, I had other gear to trade in/sell and so I grabbed the T... | |
| Buying new, but old speakers Thanks everyone. It puts my mind at ease a little bit.Elizabeth, I came upon a recent post of yours about speaker longevity while doing my Google searches. It's nicely detailed and very helpful.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?cspkr&126... |
