| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt sounds like a plan. I'm sure that you can get a satisfactory sound from the room. Those darn nodes are hard to fix and no room is perfect. All the best. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt you are correct on trying to do room treatments via internet room measurements is risky at best. It seems like there should be someone available that has room measurement software that can actually map the room to figure out where the nodes a... | |
| Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ? If you go the wax route I really like the Zaino show car polish for clear coated finishes. It is not abrasive and the best part is doesn't leave any film, powder or white residue. Can be found on the Zaino website. | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists Jmcgrogan2 according to the dealer I spoke with, the Gibbons X was due to start shipping now. I haven't checked in lately. The price is around $15,500. | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists Garebear, I am about 90% sure that the Liszt will be my next speaker. The dynamics, bass and overall emotional involvement really is exceptional with this speaker. I have two more to audition the Focal Sopra and the new Devore gibbons X. The Avalo... | |
| Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists I have listened to both of these speakers but not in the same location or using the same electronics. I compared the Olympica III to the B&W 802's and preferred the B&W's. The 802's were more open, had better high end and the bass was bett... | |
| Cleaning, polishing Speaker Cabinets ? If you have a high gloss finish over wood as mentioned above, a wood type cleaner won't be as effective as products that are used with polyester or catalyzed finishes. I have used a lot of products over the years on gloss type finishes. My new fav... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD It seems that the best outcome is when you can do a full frequency analysis based on test tones and a microphone set up in your listening position. That being said, you still need to use you ears to dial in the listening room. All rooms have "prob... | |
| "forward' vs "laid back" speakers Twoleftears, we need to listen to the PMC 26's. I had previously heard the Fact 8 and it was nice but didn't knock my socks off. Mapman has good points to make and I was using a generalization in a broad sense. Also, we have been hauling my friend... | |
| "forward' vs "laid back" speakers Twoleftears, a friend and I have been on speaker quest for the last couple of months in the Pacific Northwest and have come to some similar observations as yours relative to forward and recessed presentations. Another observation is the number of ... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Liszt - Fad or Future? Not sure if it is a fad or not. All I know is that I have been listening to a lot of speakers lately and this particular model is very musical and hits all the right emotional buttons. The upper head doesn't need to be adjusted very much, perhaps ... | |
| Vienna Acoustics Listz impressions Shank I have not heard the Musik....it is out of my price range and probably too big for my room | |
| Vienna Acoustics Listz impressions Rlwainwright the salesperson initially steered me away from this speaker when I was auditioning the Wilson Sophia II. If you like the Wilson sound, you will probably find this speaker too soft or not as dramatic. For my tastes I find the Wilson tr... | |
| Girlfriends and wifes, how do YOU cope? I just use the same line my wife uses on me...."Look how much I saved, it was xxxx percent off!" Or, I just fund my next purchase via the sale of some existing equipment. If I really get desperate, I will research a purchase to death and when she ... | |
| Room treatment You can spend a lot of time and money chasing room acoustics. Some go overboard with acoustic panels and end up with a room that sounds dead. Usually corner bass traps can help and treating the first reflection points with diffusion or fiberglass ... |
