FULL RANGE vs. SUBWOOFER+NO FULL RANGE
The previous posts are both excellent.If your room is large enough, a full-range floor stander may be best. Your overall sound will probably be more balanced and better integrated. I don't think you'll have any trouble finding a quality used pair ... 
Subwoofer Question
Thanks all for the great advice!I just got a Bel Canto DAC 1.1 yesterday and the bass I'm getting now is unbelievable. Very detailed, tight and deep. I'm even more hesitant to move the sub now. I failed to mention that the alternative to leaving t... 
Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers
Dctifosi. No, I haven't had the chance to hear the new Sonus Fabers Home speakers. How are they different? I'm very interested. 
Looking for warmer speaker cables
Hi Pete. Just a week and a half ago I switched from biwired DH Labs Silversonic T-14s to a single run of Analysis Plus Oval 9 and the improvement was dramatic. Before changing out the cables, my Sim Audio Moon I-5 feeding a pair of Sonus Faber Con... 
Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers
Thanks so much Avkmusic. My amp is only rated at 70 watss per channel. Also, I don't really have the room for the Grand Pianos but would like to get them if I did. The stone bases are nice, too bad they've been discontinued.So you thought the Gran... 
Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers
Avkmusic, do the GPs require much more power to drive them than the Concertinos? Also, in what areas did you prefer the Grand Pianos to the Kestrels? Thanks for the post! 
Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers
Thanks Chelillingworth, I forgot to mention the Kestrels. I've heard great things about them, and I have a local Meadowlark dealer. My only reservation is that they're a little funky looking. But I'll try and suppress that feeling until I hear them. 
Goertz M12 sp cables - any good?
Gemini: You can reference Sean's post my thread "Stunned by cable upgrade". He speaks highly of the Alpha Core Goertz MI-2s if those are the ones you're looking into.Here's a link to his shoot-out. It's very thorough:http://www.audioasylum.com/aud... 
Best Silver ICs under 300?
Kevint, Audiogon often holds auctions for the DH Labs Silver Pulse. I won a 2 meter pair of these about 9 months ago for $195. I'm using these as a subwoofer cable right now, but plan to see how they compare to my Cardas Golden Cross which is betw... 
Stunned by a cable upgrade
Great article Sean! I have only had two cables in my system. The AP 9s and the DH Labs Silversonic T-14s they replaced. I must admit when I had a chance to sit down and listen to my setup again on saturday, it didn't have the same magic as thursda... 
Stunned by a cable upgrade
Very interesting Chstob. You noticed the same thing too? My interconnects are Cardas Golden Cross from CD to amp, and DH Labs Silver Pulse from amp to sub. I've been considering an interconnect change of Golden Cross to Golden Reference. Did you s... 
Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
I can sit and listen all night to anything by Diana Krall. Also, I like the way the Verve recordings sound and their artists too. I enjoy their Dave Brubeck, the Antonio Carlos Jobim Bosanova recordings. I'm also a big fan of guitarist Robby Longl... 
Harm. Tech. Pro9 or Anal. Plus Oval9
Jay, I saw your post on my thread. Thanks for the feedback. How do you like your Shearwaters? I've been contemplating the Kestrels myself and was wondering what kind of sound characteristics you would attribute to Meadowlarks. As I mentioned on th... 
Stunned by a cable upgrade
One of the great things about this forum is that so many members have alike ideas and are trying similar tweaks. I hope my comparison of the DH Labs and Analysis Plus speaker cables can help people with similar components to mine to get a better f... 
Stunned by a cable upgrade
Bluenose, I know just how you feel. I was having so much fun re-listening to my CD collection I didn't want to go to sleep last night! What speakers are you running with your 4070SE and Satoris?Thanks for the kind words Jadem6. I'd been reading ab...
