| Review: Triangle Volante 260 Speaker Hello, independent. I am referring to the "Master," which I just recently sold, for a couple hundred or so more than I paid for it. I just got tired of diddling with it. Some people enjoy dinking around with their systems, but I am not among them ... | |
| Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker Hifimaniac, thanks for the invite. I may stumble down on one of my golfing orgies...and I certainly will contact you if I do. I agree with you about the MAXX, even though I have heard it sound up to its potential only once, at a home in Salt Lake ... | |
| Review: Quad U S A ESL-989 Speaker Claude, I have a friend who has tried these Quads with the sock down, and I have heard and seen them both ways at his place -- to my ears, the sound doesn't improve. It is DIFFERENT ever so slightly, audible only on some material, but it's too clo... | |
| Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker I am not surprised that a $5000 monitor could sound more realistic than a $20,000 (and up!)monster, especially in a real-world listening space. I had the Dynaudio Evidence Master ($80,000 new -- I got mine used, for less than a third of this price... | |
| Review: Quad U S A ESL-989 Speaker I have always liked the Quads...any Quads. I agree with you that the most expensive isn't necessarily the best. If you listen to classical and/or jazz, you probably go to a lot of live concerts and instinctively seek gear that doesn't sizzle your ... | |
| Review: Reimer Wind River GS Speaker Thanks for the details -- I'll pick it up next week. This was a good month for concert-goers in LA. 2 conductors (guests with the LA Phil) I hadn't heard gave absolutely stunning performances. Jonathan Nott's Mahler 4th was the best I had ever hea... | |
| Review: Reimer Wind River GS Speaker It helps. Thanks for the response. I liked very much the "ribbon" sound in all the Genesis models I have heard. For some reason, I never warmed up to the various Maggies I heard during the '90's -- I confess to not having heard the latest models, ... | |
| Review: Reimer Wind River GS Speaker What are the dimensions (and weight) of these speakers? You mention that they may be too large for your listening room -- how big is this room? Do you have them set up well out into the room, or are they close to the side/rear walls? I am always i... | |
| Review: Triangle Volante 260 Speaker I am updating this because I changed my room treatment approach. I used to have acoustic foam on the side walls, in the audiophile-approved spots for ameliorating slap-echo effects and the like. I purchased 3 Argent "Acoustic Lens" units -- about ... | |
| Best Speaker to use with Arcam AVR300? Dear Denon53, I would like to second your nomination of Krellm7 to the status of "snooty bastard." Can we get a vote? As for the "risk" factor in buying a SUPERB brand name like Triangle, from a dealer as fair and reputable as Kevin Deal at Upscal... | |
| Review: Musical Fidelity A3.2cr Preamplifier Dear Schuesmp, I have owned the Mac C-46 and the Levinson No.380S, and I have auditioned (in my living room) the Levinson No.32 Reference, the VTL TL-7.5, the Ayre K-1x, and the 2 latest upgrades of the CAT. I have also auditioned the Musical Fide... | |
| Review: Triangle Volante 260 Speaker Scott, Thanks for the comments. In the real world, you have to put software in to get music out, and this interface isn't always pleasant. I think all Triangle speakers have a way with more varieties of software (i.e., genre as well as engineering... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Justubes, As I said, I finally sold them for about twice what I paid for them...and you are right, there were plenty of buyers who responded to my ad. I kept them for so long, because I thought there would SOMEHOW be a way to make them work. I mov... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Yo, Justubes, I owned K-horns for 20+ years. I absolutley loved everthing about them...BUT, the 4,000 Hz - 8,000 Hz peak drove me crazy. On almost all of my classical recordings, they made the violins sound like wire, and twangy wire at that. High... | |
| Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR-5 HSE Speaker Mark, what are the dimensions of these speakers? Ah, yes...preamps. I love the passive/active switch on the Adcom and think it is one of the most neutral preamps on the market, at ANY price. I've owned the McIntosh C-46, the Levinson 360s (both we... |
