| Rockport Avior or Magico S5 I have listened to the Vandersteen 5A carbon and would agree with Joey V that they didn't really do anything for me. The electronics were acoustic research at a dealer event. The midrange seemed a little thick to me and the bass was bloated and ov... | |
| Herron M1-1A monobocks, what do you think? I am a fan of Herron audio for a few reasons. Keith's products sound excellent, are well built, can be upgraded for a nominal fee and Keith is just a great guy to work with. I have upgrade my original M150 amps to the M1A. Is there better equipmen... | |
| Keeping dustcover looking new I would recommend Plexus plastic cleaner. It is good for all types of plastic and only use it with a soft microfiber towel, never a paper towel. I use it on my dust cover and motorcycle lexan and acrylic windshields. | |
| Aerial 7T vs. Marten Django L Arboc, I also have the Ascendants and am looking to upgrade for the same reasons you mentioned. I have been listening to some more expensive speakers and others at about the same price point. Let us know what your listening results are! | |
| My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow Stereo5 glad to hear that they recognized the quality problem and it isn't an ongoing issue. Sounds like you are going to spike (couple) the speakers to the floor rather than isolating them. Not sure if your subfloor is concrete or a suspended woo... | |
| My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow Stereo5 hope they work out for you! I think you are correct that there is a general QC issue. I would guess that there is no checking (running and testing) the final speakers before shipment. That usually adds to the cost of the product. | |
| Dynaudio, Harbeth, Penaudio or Sonus Faber I have listened to the Harbeth 30's at friends house who is very picky regarding sound. He listens mostly to classical, jazz and vocal. I thought they sounded very musical and smooth. He was using a small subwoofer from Linn I believe and it blend... | |
| Frustrated with Bonamassa Live CDs It's amazing that so many musicians put out poor recordings. Most of it is due to over compression to the point of distortion. They are hung up in the loudness wars where there is not a distinction between the loud and soft passages. I hear it all... | |
| HELP slight floor vibration auditory vibrate noise this is the debate of trying to couple the speakers to the floor or isolate them. Some would say that for suspended wood floors you should try and isolate them and not spike (couple) them to the floor. | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Matt be sure and run some live acoustical analysis in your room rather than just using the canned mathematical analysis from the different acoustic treatment vendors. It does make a difference. | |
| RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss Hmmm a 30% price increase for the Joules? I wonder what cost could have increased that much, or perhaps it's all profit. | |
| RMAF 2014 Observations Philb777 if you have a chance to listen to the Rockport's please post your observations. I have lessor Avalons and have been wanting to hear the Atria's or Avior's, but no dealers anywhere close. | |
| RMAF 2014 Observations Philb7777 have you heard the Rockport speakers? That may be a speaker that can better your Avalon's. | |
| RMAF 2014 Observations I agree with Mapman. The Pacific Northwest is a wasteland as far as shows are concerned. The B&M stores are limited with the same tired brands. | |
| Looking to replace my old Meridian 508.24 Dkonstruction I had an older Sony 999ES Modwright before I got the newer Sony 5400. I had the tray sled replaced and got the parts from Sony. it was several years old at that point. |
