| Why is most everything remastered? I’ve been collecting a number of BluRay and DVD silent films and have marveled at how optically clear and rich the remasters are. The soundtracks are typically engaging and do a good job of supporting the film. The BluRay versions offer uncompress... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? I've read and heard folks say that they believe the Levinson stacked Quad 57's with the ribbon tweeters to be better sounding than Soundlabs. I cannot make that claim myself, I just wanted to put that out there. My conversations in the past regar... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? Worth considering where it pertains to the Quad 57’s; https://www.quad-musik.de/index.php/en/products/electrostatics/esl57-qa | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? chungjh, sorry, forgot to mention. The Sound Lab's are out of my price range at the moment but sure, if I could afford their $48,000.00 flagship speaker, then I'd seriously consider it. | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? Here’s a video link to how the Magnepan LRS is made; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N6vZ6CoSeM | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? My Quad’s, only my ASR. I’ve heard the Martin Logan CLX’s with I believe an Ayre amp and preamp. I’ve heard the 63’s and 57’s with an NAD and possibly Mark Levinson’s, hard to remember. I’m hoping to hear the 57’s with a vintage Marantz tube amp, ... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? chungjh, The ASR Emitter 2 Exclusive is what I have and I've never regretted purchasing it. Recently, I had some issues with the output relays but that seems to be resolved. I've replaced the acid gel batteries once since I bought it in 2011. The... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? richopp, I do not get listening fatigue from my Quads. Which makes me wonder what type of amplification you’re using. I’m driving my 2905’s with an ASR Emitter Exclusive and I get bored before getting any fatigue. | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? chungjh, yes, Music Direct and MOFI are the same company. No one here has mentioned Acoustats. Anyone own these and if so, what are your thoughts? | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? chungjh, my understanding is that Music Direct will stop distribution of Quad ESL’s. I don’t know if they will drop Quad all together. Just realize that if you purchase the 2912’s or any Quad electrostatic speaker, that the panels will eventually ... | |
| Do larger planar speakers produce more accurate sound? I have Quad 2905's which create a circular pattern where as the Quad 57's have a linear pattern. If you were to take the panels apart from both speakers, you'd see a remarkable difference. Anyway, the 57's have the best sounding mid range but the ... | |
| Beethoven Complete Works boxed set recommendations I would advise looking around for reviews. Gramohone Magazine is my most trusted source but if I had to choose from those you've mentioned, I'd go with the Deutsche Grammophon just for the Herbert von Karajan recordings. Anyway, DG certainly have ... | |
| Best double live vinyl? A lot of people are mentioning Little Feat’s ‘Waiting For Columbus’. I will agree that the recording is pretty good for when it was recorded but I saw Jean Luc Ponty at the Lisner Auditorium and that hall has the worse acoustics of any hall I’ve b... | |
| Best double live vinyl? Can't remember when I last heard this album, maybe sometime in the mid seventies but James Brown's 'Live At The Apollo' has always been considered one of the best live records of all time. MOFI reissued it around 1993. | |
| Mono Recommendations tablejockey, I like the Ella, 'Harold Arlen Songbook Volume 2' from that time period. I run hot and cold with Ella. I had a copy of 'Like Someone In Love' and the portamento was off. Then I figured out that the string section was recorded first an... |
