| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? @grannyring I made that point early on and it is one of the best advantages. That is why I also like a simple two way design. Nice post. My apologies, I overlooked it. | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Hmm...seems no one pointed out the real advantages of 2.5-ways (at least well designed examples). It's the same advantage of 2-ways: the high crossover point and resulting coherency. In a well designed 2-way, it's often difficult to make out the s... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III @tomic601 No math required. In my particular experience, it's very easy to hear. I'm not saying wide baffles are inherently better at imaging. I'm sure the opposite is often true, but my experience tells me it's not a universal rule. Some of the b... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III I have fairly large baffle, monkey coffin speakers and to my ears, they absolutely trounce most of the narrow baffle towers I've owned/auditioned. They also image better than the Maggie's I had for a time. | |
| most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box? ^Any speaker is fighting the laws of physics. I've heard monkey coffins that can make some planars sound like a distorted mess. | |
| Golden ear Technology reference I've also heard them for more than a few minutes. I thought the Triton 1s were more tolerable, but didn't care for them either. All the Triton speakers I auditioned were bright and fatiguing compared to the likes of B&W, Focal, and Revel, and ... | |
| Missing the forest for the trees Are you referring to focusing on gear rather than music? | |
| Parts for older Well Tempered tables Did you try contacting Well Tempered? | |
| How is Devialet Expoert 1000 PRO's value???? good? Yes, I was referring to the 1000 Pro. I heard some Exposure 3010S2 separates shortly after my audition with the Devialet and thought that system was better, but that was with different speakers in a different room.If you're seriously considering t... | |
| How is Devialet Expoert 1000 PRO's value???? good? Here's an interesting article on class D:https://www.soundandvision.com/content/bruno-putzeys-head-class-d This stuff really comes down to personal preference. By no means have I heard every iteration of class D, but I've heard quite a few and to ... | |
| How is Devialet Expoert 1000 PRO's value???? good? I've heard at least one other amp that was class A input and D output. The result was similar. I also owned a Rogue Pharaoh, which is a tube/class D hybrid. I've concluded that class D sound (as I hear it) is partially a function of the output top... | |
| How is Devialet Expoert 1000 PRO's value???? good? I heard this amp paired with Magnepans at a local dealer. It sounded similar to every other class D amp I've heard in that it was somewhat cold and clinical (don't know how else to describe it). If you like other class D designs, then I doubt you ... | |
| To the Old School Tonearm Guys are the Newer very expensive Tonearms as Good as Claimed? Why ask such a question when you already believe new tonearms are more superior sonically in every aspect over the older well regarded Tonearms of the past like Sme, Audio Technica, Empire, Stax, Jelco, Thorens, Emt, Decca, Ortofon, Stax, Saec, Su... | |
| most advanced speaker in a rectangular wooden box? British brands : Spendor, Harbeth, Graham, Stirling Broadcast, Audio Note. These manufacturers realized long ago that there’s nothing wrong with wide-baffle monkey coffins if implemented correctly. IMO, many of them can go toe-to-toe with the exot... | |
| LS-50 Speakers (Passive) ^There’s a good chance your LS50s are placed on a room mode. If your speakers are somewhere between 2 and 3 feet from the forward wall, this is likely the case. These distances typically result in an upper bass null. It’s unfortunate because that ... |
