| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker Yes, I've heard Silverline are great. @dodgealum That's quite a bundle (in more than one sense)! | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker I was very curious about Daedalus but a bit steep for me and too big, I think, for home audition, shipping, etc.I was also very curious about Legacy Audio; they have a dealer in Denver but he would not let me drive them 3 miles back to my house fo... | |
| Poor Fritz @isochronism LOL! The only way to avoid having to read the whole thread is to make sure that your line is *really* original. | |
| Discernment is bad. Self awareness is good. I’m glad for the help I got with listening in a more discerning way; I see your point, Erik, that it can lead down a slippery slope to loss of enjoyment and a "flow" of experience in the movie, song, etc. itself. But that slippery slope was not a ... | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker @jayctoy I had heard good things, agree. I live in Colorado. So, when I got to the point where I thought of the many different ways I could spend my money -- and then thought of not being able to return one pair but being able to try and return Sa... | |
| Poor Fritz Regarding the comment about the price mentioned, he will do them for $3250, shipping included. And return shipping if you don't like them. The Tektons mentioned are a much different speaker, so to each their own. But consider that Tekton will char... | |
| Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers @mapYes, I think the easy load is key. I tried out some Dynaudio speakers early on with a 20w Quicksilver Integrated and it was ok but not great. I wound up buying 60w Quicksilver monos so I would not be stuck looking for higher efficiency speaker... | |
| Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers Thanks @mapman and to your point:https://parttimeaudiophile.com/2018/12/08/caf-2018-modwright-instruments-fritz-speakers-and-oh-its-y..."…Dan Wright of ModWright Instruments….added his 9.0 phono preamplifier ($2900) and HA 300 headphone amplifier,... | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker @treyreynolds155 It sounds like you had a good experience. I was trying to get that assurance from Omega and I was told up front "no returns." If the speaker was defective, I'm sure I'd get good service. But the others on my list say quite explici... | |
| Thoughts on my speaker selection? I tried the ML 60 Xti version. Much too bright/forward in my low ceiling space but very well built and fantastic bass response. Those could work for you, and Best Buy carries them and has a 14 day trial. I got mine from Crutchfield to try and it w... | |
| What's your favorite boutique speaker maker I was very interested in those speakers but I wrote asking for home trial and he doesn’t do that. Customer assumes the full risk. So, because home audition is a deal-breaker for me, if I were to go boutique, I’d go Zu, Tekton, Omega, Ascend, Salk,... | |
| Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers @randym Thank you! I publish in other, unrelated areas (academic writing).@chayro I agree with your analysis. So many people really don’t know about speakers and are (understandably) looking for guidance. I think that the combination of consistent... | |
| Poor Fritz "I pledge, here and now, to ignore any and all posts by [insert troll]..."Take this pledge into your heart and all future posts will never be sidelined again. | |
| Review: Fritz Heiler’s Carrera BE Bookshelf Speakers Thanks to you both! Please share with people you think might be interested. | |
| Poor Fritz Kenjit, I will not engage further with you. Because that is *truly* something which is not *worth* my time.Erik has raised a good question and if there's more on it, I'll read about it and possibly reply. But I will not allow myself to be drawn in... |
