There is a pair on Audiogon now at the low end of your... | |
| Room Treatment suppliers I recently got a pair of Acoustic Sciences Corp TubeTraps. Nice thing about them is that they have one half of the trap that is absorbative and the other half is has a diffractive surface so they can be tuned to clean up the bass while preserving ... | |
| Speaker Spikes - Working Principle @berner99 Looks like the new PS Audio Aspen speakers use spikes of some sort. | |
| Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K @gregjacob I have New Audio Frontiers 211 SE amp (20 Watts) with the Stradivari Preamp and have no problem playing Rock loudly and clearly with the Wolf Von Langa SON speakers. They are field coil speakers that really control bass and I have the ... | |

| Eliminated my preamp with amazing results I had a Lampizator Big 7 DAC with a volume control. I ran directly into the KR Audio Kronzilla amp and it sounded very clean and dynamic leading me to believe I could ditch my preamp, which I found advantageous since my preamp did not have a remot... | |
| Wolf Von Langa SON (TAS 2022 PofY) and Gestalt Audio - my experience & review @lalitk @grannyring Can’t wait. The Circle Labs sound great, I can only image how the SONs sound with NAF. | |
| Nowhere to hear speakers and amps anymore! In RIchmond, VA, we are very fortunate to have a beautiful new audio store, Carytown Sound (carytownsound.com), which just opened this fall. It has a nice range of equipment and an enthusiastic owner and staff who are very low pressure. Really a g... | |

| Vibration isolation or absorption? @whipsaw I know that Isoacoustics announced a partnership with Wolf Von Langa, although I don’t know if the SON comes with the Gaia. Mine didn’t. I have used Starsound/LiveVibe products for the past ten years and have had all my equipment on Sis... | |
| Horn speakers with Imaging? @audiokinesis . I was reading this thread thinking about how well your Jazz Modules did with imaging and soundstage with the directional waveguide (I guess it qualifies as a horn?). Nice surprise to see your post when I got to the end of it! | |
| Audio in Movies and TV Shows An earlier post pointed out Lydia Tar's speakers in Tar Audiogon Discussion Forum | |
