| cdp to amp I run my Quad 99 cd-p direct into a Music Reference RM9 MKII and it has weight and dynamics for days.I think it is dependent on the cd-p and amplifier matchup.Maybe I just lucked out ,but I will gladly put it up against any cd,preamp,amp combo any... | |
| Soliloquy and Creek? Mchug as far as watts go, you will have no problems.I'am sure either one of your choices above will make you happy.I own the 6.3s and power them from time to time with a Monarchy sm70 25 wpc.Even this little amp has enough power to make you deaf.I... | |
| Quad 12L, PMC TB2, or Harbeth Compact 7ES-2? Checkout the the Soliloquy 6.0s.It has a very articulate and refined top end but not tingy.Bass extends down to about 35 hz.And these speakers will disapear with good equipment.They are also soundstage and imaging champions.Fit and finish are beau... | |
| Proac vs. Meadowlark Here here ,I second that motion! | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? Roy, my post wasn't towards you!I try not to generalize the design of speakers.I see some that do instead of allowing their ears to lead the way.If it sounds right than that's what I look at.Not whether it has ports or not.My hats off to all of yo... | |
| Time coherence - how important and what speakers? If there were a such thing as the best way to design a speaker, they would all be the same.To each his own,end of story! | |
| any new Quad 11/12L owners? I own the Quad 99 CD-P and I'am pleased with it's performance.I have used it with a preamp and also without!The preamp part of this player is so good ,I can't hear any sonic differences.The preamp retailed for 5000.00 dollars.Even the most complex... | |

| Can speakers be both "big" and "accurate" ? Try a pair of Soliloquy 6.5s.They have a small foot print,very efficient,have extreme dynamics and solid bass down to 23hz.They are also extremely accurate.If these can't feel the room with sound nothing will.They are about 55 inches tall and weig... | |
| Mutine's Equation 7 speaker: An Unknown "Sleeper"? I have a friend that owns the Equation 25s.They are some very nice speakers.I believe he told me they were made in Belgium.It's a family owned business,and they are hand made. Soundstage is large,very good bass for 8 inch driver and ceramic tweete... | |
| High value floorstanders around $1k used Soliloquy 5.3s will be happy with your 75 wpc amp. And you will here the buzz of the rosin on the strings without it being tinny bright.Response 35hz to 20 khz with a benign impedence curve and narrow phase response. This will also give you the op... | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? Nrchy, you sure can stir up a good arguement.I like a good brawl.This is really funny to me.Ding Ding next round! | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? I believe synergy is the key. No matter how good the electronics ,if you put a crap speaker in front you get crap sound.The same goes for electronics it will work either way!A quality system from front to back is the only way to go regardless of p... | |
| Speaker recommendation - 3K budget Check out the Soliloquy 5.3s,6.2s and 6.3s.Make sure they have at least 500 hrs on them before doing any serious listening.You can get these well below retail and save some money.These speakers are accurate without being bright.And you want be a s... | |
| Any experience with Soliloquy speakers? I am with Clingman and Bbroussard on this one.If these are so bad why are they being used as reference speakers by different HiFi Mag reviewers.I use my 6.3s with a Music Reference RM9 MK2 and a Quad 99 CD-p as a source.Don't be fooled these speak... |
