| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? The only speakers I've heard so far and spent any real time with that are close to harmonically accurate for me have been GMA Europas and my speakers the Brines Acoustic FTA-2000s. Some of the Thiel models do this well also. The Vandies have one o... | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? Jkalman ,Recording engineers may use different speakers for listening to their music.This isn't how the sound is recorded. It is recorded through microphones. Songwriter is refering to live unamplified music. It's up to the person to tolerate list... | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? Great post songwriter!"I suggest that anyone owning a pair of well designed time/phase coherent speakers for 6 months would never be able to go back to what most manufacturers claim as "hi end" again. I have been listening to Green Mountain Audio ... | |
| Is harmonic accuracy and timbre important at all? I too have wondered the same thing. It has taken time and listening to understand why it is important. FWIW I agree with you competely. I do feel you may have opened Pandoras box. I also suggest a good flame retardant suit as things may get a litt... | |
| Help Please Woofer Pumping Is it Amp, CD or ? I could be wrong...It maybe your amplifier passing DC current to the driver. This is bad!!! It will fry your drivers if you continue to use it. | |
| Totem Forest uses a Swan driver??????? Beheme,You have the answers ..just read between the lines.Cheers | |
| Totem Forest uses a Swan driver??????? Warnerwh , I believe this is what most are refering to. The kits give you a chance to see what's going on with a speaker and how it works. The designers of these kits don't treat the intrinsic designs like an ancient chinese secret or form of magi... | |
| Bananas Vs Spades??? Jayboard..the comment is more towards what I've read others say. Not trying to argue at all. I've seen several post where the poster claimed the bananas or spades would be sonically better than bare wire. I've never been able to understand this be... | |
| Totem Forest uses a Swan driver??????? You might be surprised just how inexpensive most drivers are in speakers that are well over $3000. I wouldn't worry about it. It is all relative as long as you enjoy the end results. That's why some audiophiles go DIY..they get first hand knowledg... | |
| Bananas Vs Spades??? "You'll get more surface area contact then with a spade or bare wire and a snug fit, though not as tight as can be achieved with the other two approaches". Like I said ..I rest my case. ;-) | |
| Bananas Vs Spades??? How about no speaker wire terminations at all? It doesn't get any better than not having it in the signal path to begin with. Of course this goes against audiophile thinking as common sense isn't useful in this hobby. LOLGood listening | |
| Nixon NOS DAC vs. Nixon Tube DAC or others. You can always do a search on Agon or Audioasylum. The search should answer most of your questions. The NOS Dacs are similar but different. Just like any other component. The difference between a NOS DAC and your Denon will be obvious from the fir... | |
| DIY Speaker Cabinets Depending on just what your looking for you can buy cabinets and other parts from Parts Express. Or if you want to just build another speaker you have North Creek.I ask Jim Salk of Veracity Audio about building me some custom cabinets. He said ... | |
| Efficient full range floorstanders to match SET Here's one that's not even close to $5000. I've read some great reports on it. It maybe atleast worth a try. The speaker uses a 15 inch coaxial driver in an open baffle configuration.Hawthorne Audio Mini Solo. I've been itching to buy a pair mysel... | |
| Montana Owners NY/NJ/PA LOL... Bombaywalla it's a small world!!! I've thought about this many times. I just never bothered asking Oz as he seemed to be on a mission with the speaker hunt. :-)I also wouldn't mind giving the GMA speakers you own a whirl. GMA IMHO makes som... |
