| Discs you play again and again Nicksgem- I bought both Eva Cassidies- most excellent!! | |
| CES 2005 Initial impressions... Thanks Sam | |
| Mirage,Ohm,Vandy,Maggies:Spacious Sound/Bass I second Duke's Shahinian recomendation. Listening to them is very much like listening to live music. If your on the left side of the room, it sounds like your on the left side of the stage. Moving forward and back sounds like approaching or retre... | |
| Last 4 Years - Votes for Best Speaker Ever Heard Second Newbee's concensus observation. With so many speakers on the market it's almost impossible to hear them all. I consider myself as having heard a lot of speakers and I counted only 32 of those on this list. | |
| Can anyone recommend center ch. for Shahinians? I would think a Diapason module would be the best choice and a Hawk module second best. Could you put enough space between the module and the TV to eliminate the magnetic field problem? Or perhaps mount the module on the wall or suspend it from th... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Hi Tony, When will the rest of the world figure out how good these speakers sound? John Marks at Stereophile has been extolling their virtues for some time but many still don't know the joy. My Diapasons were new in January of 2003. They were the ... | |
| A somewhat unusual request for PrePro help Hi Tony, The Bedini Shahinian synergy is alive and well. Richard has revised the Diapasons to incorporate titanium drivers and the Double Eagles are now larger. John Bedini just developed 100 watt mono amps that work great with the Diapasons. This... | |
| Best subwoofer for Quad 988? Pro Musica in Chicago was using Sunfire subs with the 988s last year. No doubt an excellent combination. | |
| That nice, unforced, relaxed, easeful sound ?? After a thousand + hours to break in my speakers, I'm finally there. | |
| is Plinius Sa102 "enough" for SF Amati ? I suspect it is more than enough. I used the Sa 100 mk3 on my demanding load and was astonished with the power. It acted more like a 250/ch amplifier. From what I have read, getting a high current power cord like the Top Gun HFCI is important. | |
| Thor Audio - Answers to recent FAQs Thank you for the post. I second Raytheprinters positive evaluation of your products. Could you please explain further what B-stock is. I'm dumb on that subject. | |
| Supratek vs. Thor? The Thor is a great preamp. Unbelievable bass and exceptional at passing the input through without coloration. These prices are bargains. The Supratek would have to be darn good to beat it. The Thor is gorgeous in black with gold accents. Plain ja... | |
| Best floorstanders for classical? I suggest the Shahinian Obelisk. It is a small footprint floorstander and is closer to the Quad sound than any box speaker I have heard. It also has remarkably deep bass for a speaker of its size (important for large scale classical music). Try ww... | |
| Don't think I'm crazy but... I used to be a volume nut too. And a smaller pair of Theils (I think they were 1.2's) that I owned left me unsatisfied. Now with larger speakers that can go deeper in the bass department I find myself not needing the volume as much. I'm sure the b... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 vs Sony SCD-1, 777 etc I prefer the DAC 1 over the redbook of my XA-777ES. I use my 777 as a transport for the DAC 1 when playing redbook. The DAC-1 sounds more natural to my ear. |
