| Blown Tweeters = Some Sound/No Sound? Hey Greg,Sorry for the confusion. According to a review that I read in Stereophile, the tweeters are supplied by Vifa and are built to PSBs specifications. | |
| Blown Tweeters = Some Sound/No Sound? Gregm - It's the factory replacement for PSB Stratus Gold. I thought it seemed fairly reasonable, too. | |
| Blown Tweeters = Some Sound/No Sound? Ahhh...Good question.There is no sound from either tweeter, but both mids and woofers are functioning correctly.I also just got off the phone with PSB and the replacement drivers are $150 for the pair. Seems reasonable enough to me. It also sounds... | |
| Blown Tweeters = Some Sound/No Sound? Thanks Satch,For reference, the pair of speakers that I'm looking at are PSB Stratus Gold.I'm going to call PSB tomorrow and see how much a pair of replacement tweeters will cost. I hope it's not an arm-and-a-leg.-Dan | |
| Thiel 7.2: amps suggestions please Let me jump in if I may.Take my remarks with the proverbial grain of salt since I do not own the 7.2s But I will say that one of the GREATEST listening experiences I've had was a system using Krell FPB-650mc monoblocks to drive CS-7.2s.I'm not a b... | |
| Remembering Jerry "...Addiction is a sickness not a choice..."Everybody's a victim, huh? What in the HELL happened to personal responsibility?He CHOSE to use drugs. He BECAME addicted. He could have CHOSEN to quit. He CHOSE to keep smoking HEROIN and God know what ... | |
| Looking for a speaker under $1000. used. I agree with the first couple of posters. In fact, as I was reading your post, I thought, Soliloquy 5.0s. Then I read the part about your room size and floor standers and I thought...Soliloquy 5.3.I'm not a current Soliloquy owner (though I had a ... | |
| Pathos Classic One with Aerial 7's? Wouldn't even try.The 7s are great speakers, but you're gonna' need some serious, high-current grunt to get them going. I agree that the 87db rating is generous.I'm thinking Classe 201, etc.... | |
| Has anyone heard in depth the TAD-1 loudspeaker . Larryi - I think the metal drivers that you refer to are DIFFERENT from the Be drivers used in the Model 1. These are a brand new design and are likely not available for use in an aftermarket application.I met the designer of the TAD Model 1 throu... | |
| $5000 to spend.... All good advice.I was unemployed for almost a year. Living in the Silicon Valley and working knee-deep in technology start-ups, I got hit hard when the bubble burst. Whoa be to those who get burned by the latest bubble - real estate! But I digress... | |
| Remote Preamp $1000 Used If you like your LS-1, I would look at the Sonic Frontiers Line 1. To my ears, Sonic Frontiers is the closest to ARC inasmuch as it's VERY neutral (NOT tubey) and maybe even somewhat lively.I'm a big fan of both ARC and SF. Great build quality and... | |
| Tube Amplifier for Maggies People are funny.Maggies + tubes = MAGICI would question whether the ASL would have enough juice at only 22wpc, but I used a 50wpc ASL amp (4 X 6550s) and it was fantastic.I also used an Audio Research D-115MK2 with my Magnepan 1.6QRs and it was p... | |
| Integrated For Revel M20s Go ahead and rule out the lower-powered options. The M20s need plenty of high-current power.The 9200 seems reasonable. You may also want to look into the Classe CAP-150 for about the same money. | |
| beryllium vs diamond For some interesting reading on a unique product using beryllium as the source material for a midrange/tweeter concentric driver (think highly evolved Tannoy), check out the TAD Model 1.http://tadhomeaudio.com/making-model-1.htmlUltra high-end, cu... | |
| platinum audio solo's Ed,Please tell us your associated equipment at the time that you listened to the Solos.No proud owner syndrome here. I don't currently own them, but I do think that they're an absolute STEAL at their used prices.Per Platinum Audio's specifications... |
