| New Cain & Cain IM Ben Fostex/double horn - help Boa2, Yes, I use the low gain setting also. The Fostex HP sound reflectors work great. I put two of them in each lower bass horn and 2 in the top horns also. No need for Dakron and these dont deaden the sound like Dakron.I also am running an Origi... | |
| New Cain & Cain IM Ben Fostex/double horn - help Here is an update. After reading yours post and talking to Terry at Cain & Cain this is what I have done. 1) Changed my seating position as well as speaker placement.I am now 14 feet back from the speakers and the rear wall is 1 foot behind me... | |
| New Cain & Cain IM Ben Fostex/double horn - help Terry is wonderful and I will continue to talk to him. I wanted to ask other Cain owners also as they have experience in various home/room settings etc. Gmood! makes a great point and I am starting to think he is right.When I stand back against th... | |
| Best CD Player for 800-1500 Used My Tosh only had the famed "Vinnie mod" and I am sure not as good sounding as the RAM mod. My only concern is spending lots of $$$ on what is a $45 player in terms of longevity. At $45 when it breaks down - get another!Bill | |
| Best CD Player for 800-1500 Used Bluenose is right as I have owned a Tosh with the mod's. Very good for the money. Still found the Ack dac better to my ears.Bill | |
| Best CD Player for 800-1500 Used I got my Tosh 3960 at Best Buy new for $45 new. You can get them used on Ebay for $30. I know for this little money many of us audio nuts say " right grannyring your out of your mind and must have tin ears". Not! Just buy the original Ack dac and ... | |
| Best CD Player for 800-1500 Used Buy one of the used Ack dac's for $300 and mate it with a $45 Toshiba 3960 DVD player and you will have a CD player far above what you expect and as good as any mentioned above. I have owned the Arcam, Opus 21,AA Prima, Consonance 2.0 Reference an... | |
| Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am Thanks guys for your comments. I actually purchased the IM Ben's that are a new double horn from Cain & Cain. They are said to be another level or two above the Abby. I also purchased the Baily sub from Cain & Cain. I have decided to go wh... | |
| Question on preamp matching with Wright 3.5 2A3 am I know about the Wright but it has no remote. I got the pre yesterday, Rogue, and I cant get my current speakers to play any louder than low conversation type volume. They are B& W DM601's 88 db effec. I have to turn up the volume to over 75% ... | |
| what speakers for 4k or less new or used I have owned many speakers including Merlin VSM's, Silverline Sonata's, Gallo Nuc Ref 3's, Talon Khorus xII's and many others. Some of these cost up to $10,000 - $18,000 new. However, the speaker I have enjoyed the most is the Usher 6381. Very, ve... | |
| Smaller speaker to replace Khorus in Tact system I owned the Talon Khorus XII's and replaced them with the Usher 6381 speaker. The Usher is more musical to my ear. I gave up nothing , except some bass power, and actually gained in many areas! Dealer discount - $2800 or so.Good luck | |

| Talon Raven C Speakers I am the guy who owned the Bruce Moore and Talons. The Berning is more than enough power. Power will not be an issue. This is just my opinion, but I would not pick that amp to match with the Talon Khorus or Raven speakers. I have also owned the ZH... | |
| Better Amps For Talon Khorus CAT JL2 or Tenor 75? I have owned the Belles monoblocks in my system with the Khorus XII's , Opus 21 CD player and Tom Evans Vibe preamp.The bass was over-damped and almost muted. The highs were a little "steely". I now own Parasound JC-1 monoblocks and they easily be... | |
| Matching amp for Talon Khorus Best SS amp or amp I have owned on my Khorus XII's are Parasound JC-1 monoblocks. They are much better than even the Bruce Moore Dual 70 on these speakers. First time I have really heard my speakers! Just brought them alive.Grannyring |
