| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR My Takatsukis were delivered late yesterday. I will be able to compare them this weekend. I agree, it would be great to have all three "pretenders" to the WE300b throne in one place at one time for a three-way comparison. . . preferably with a Wes... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Charles1dad: The pair of Takatsuki TA-300b are coming from Japan. Not sure when they will arrive. I ordered them from Amtrans in Tokyo (http://www.amtrans.co.jp). They are a bit more expensive than the Royal Princess - 100,000 yen.My CDP and ampli... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR Interesting, to say the least. I was happy with the Shuguang Black Treasures until I decided to try the Royal Princess. No comparison. I usually read reviews with skepticism. However, in this case, Jeff Day was absolutely right. The Royal Princess... | |
| Favorite 300B: Sophia vs KR There is also a new offering from Psvane that they claim is a WE-300b clonehttp://psvanetube.com/wordpress/store/products/psvane-we300b-11-replica/ | |
| U.S. Symphony Orchestras MartyK1: I agree with you. I think that public support of the arts is also cyclical - and not just related to the vagarities of the economy. Right now we are in an anti-intellectual phase.Slipknot1: You also make great points. (1) There is a signi... | |
| U.S. Symphony Orchestras Let me share my own experience. I am a life-long classic music lover. When I lived in Philadelphia, I would attend Orchestra concerts an average of once a month (and sometime more often) beginning when I could only afford the $2 ampitheater seats ... | |
| A Zu / Tekton / Omega Speaker Positioning Thread Sean is great. He delivered my Def 4s and, after asking some basic questions about my listening habits and taking some measurements while adjusting the plate amplifier, positioned them so that they sound wonderful regardless of where I am standing... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE I have a pair of Celestion SL-700s. I bought them 13 years ago - used, of course. They are great stand-mounted monitors. I use them for both music and video in my small master bedroom. | |
| How to identify a Celestion SL 700 SE? I have a pair of SL700s. I use them in a bedroom set-up for music and TV/movies, and I think that they are terrific. I have always assumed that they are the "regular" and not the "SE" version. However, they are set-up for biwiring with binding pos... | |
| Best audio purchase of 2011 Not a purchase, exactly, but an upgrade of Zu Definition speakers to MKIV status. | |
| taller than average ceilings My room is 15' x 22' with 18' ceilings. I have found that the choice of speaker is important; some speakers that I have tried "die" in the space while others excel. | |
| Which companies deserve a star for Christmas Zu Audio. | |
| Allison Six - Great but gone I have a pair of near mint Allison Sixes. I picked them up from Ebay. In general, I think that Allison speakers appear on Ebay more often than on Audiogon; it is worth checking both. | |
| upgrade suggestion please for Zu Omen def You should call Zu directly. They are a great source of recommendations. | |
| Anyone listen to Zu Audio's Definition Mk3? As I recall, Zu used split tuning of the four rear firing drivers. While it might have had advantages with that particular configuration, it does not compare to the new single downward firing driver. The great off-axis imaging (it really does not ... |
