| Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive? 2006 Lexus GS 300 in Blue Vario with Mr. Mark Levinson providing the entertainment via 330 watts over 14 speakers. | |
| Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B Bongofury,Good information you've provided.One area that I slightly disagree - your admonition re: 6Moons. In my case, no doubt that some items reviewed on 6Moons affected my decision to subsequently purchase these same items (Minimax and Raysonic... | |
| Speaker Choice for Almarro 318B Ditto on the matching the 318B with either Almarro or Zus.Having only heard the M1A speaker with the 318B, I was quite suprised at how nice it sounded . . . especially bass-wise. Nice, tight, clean, and very dynamic; though not quite as dynamic as... | |
| Speaker that has a resonant cabinet like guitar Pete,MicroPure Kotaros - I own a pair and can't recommended them highly enough. 4" FRD with a Murata supertweeter handling 15KHz and above. Two kaveats - they're a bit pricey (ca. USD 3K) and if you'd like any kind of bass below 70Hz you'll need a... | |
| Dan Fogelberg Succumbs to Cancer Wow, what sad, sad news. Surely the prayers and condolences of many are with his family and friends. He has always been one of my all time favourites and, in my opinion, really in a league of his own. No doubt that the beauty of the man will certa... | |
| Are tiny subwoofers worthwhile? Artmaltman,I've had great success with the Velodyne SPLR 1000s (2 in the LR 2 channel / HT) and also the newer REL R series (3 in different systems).Although a bit pricey, the RELs are simply fantastic with music and are very fast and mate well wi... | |
| Micropure Kotaro CZ302ES Freq70Hz to100KHz -10db Mvs,You're welcome. To be clear, IMO, you'll likely not get enough reinforcement and, to get lower, a sub is a must.Right on both counts and thanks for the kind words. Yes, I live on the Lower Peak area (May Road) right next to Peak Tram and my HK... | |
| Micropure Kotaro CZ302ES Freq70Hz to100KHz -10db Mvs,I have the Kotaros (see system link) and, living in Hong Kong, bought direct from Micropure and, thus, have only seen the specs from the Micropure.Don't have any measuring equipment that can testify to their claim on the high end however given... | |
| One Subwoofer for 2 systems? James,Yes I have two subs.Working backwards, one subwoofer lead connected to each sub is then split into the preout left of the Audio amp and then into another Y for the single sub-out on the AV amp with the other sub into the pre-out right of Aud... | |
| One Subwoofer for 2 systems? James,I've got a similar system / connection situation in my family room and have got dual Velodynes that handle both. Difference with mine is that I use "Y" adapters from the Pre-outs of the audio and AV receivers although. Connected ths way for ... | |

| prologue 2 compared to pathos classic one II ? Smokinnonk,I have both and think they represent very good value for money. To your question, IMO, the Primaluna seems a bit better with Jazz and some accoustic music. The Pathos is superb for Classical, Rock, etc as it exhibits tight control over ... | |
| More than one CD player Pdn,I use two in my home office system; an Eastern Electric Minimax (w/ Telefunken NOS) and a Raysonic. Though the Raysonic is, IMO, a much better all around machine, the Minimax with the Telefukun tubes is a detail monster.To my ears, the Raysoni... | |
| Zu Druids low powered tube amp or high powered SS? BBChem,2nd Sbayne re: a higher powered SET. Having heard the Druids with Almarro 318B for quite a few extended auditions, the two sounded marvelous together. Great detail and clarity, realistic soundstaging, not overly warm and a sense of power th... |
