| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? Joey - just wondering if you feel they meet the wish list I started the thread with and how you would compare them to some of the great speakers you have mentioned above. I will read your review on the site - perhaps it answers my questions.Many t... | |
| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? From Lngbruno "Look into the Minis @ AV123" I have visited their website several times but read so little mainstream stuff about them (there's not that much here on Agon either) that I have discounted them. The Strata Minis look fabulous and have ... | |
| Does this speaker exist or am I being ridiculous? Thanks - these are all well thought out suggestions that I will research and try to listen to.Anyone have thoughts on the Spendor S8e? Would need a sub to dig deep but otherwise it might fit the bill and I have rarely seen more great reviews for a... | |
| Integrated Amp for VR4jr I have not heard it but there is a growing buzz around the Vincent hybrid integrated. Powerful but tube-like apparently. Made the TAS recommended components list. Audioadvisor sells it and there is a review on www.avguide.com | |
| Help I have a radio in my tweeter Thanks for all your responses.It doesn't seem like a HAM issue - I can make out enough of the detail such that I'm fairly sure it's a radio station. But it does come and go - have not heard it since this morning.Hmmm... | |
| What's wrong with Velodyne? Velodyne has certainly gone more mainstream in their sales channels - you can now buy some models at Crutchfield and other large electronics stores. I'm sure margins are being squeezed as a result plus no high end dealer wants to carry product tha... | |
| Tube Amp for Totem Hawks I definitely have room factors but they are what they are since my listening room is our family room and I won't be allowed to mess with it if you know what I mean. The room is very big, two story ceilings, opens into the kitchen, hardwoods etc - ... | |
| Is a subwoofer 'overkill?' Sounds like it's not set up properly. Possible that:1) the crossover point is set too high so that it is doubling up frequencies already output at good volumes from your main speakers2) the volume is still set too loud3) the placement is badI rece... | |
| Totems without Claws? Good looking, small, furniture quality towers - same set of requirements I had then. Guessing your price range from the original post and not knowing your other equipment, musical tastes or room dimensions, you might want to look at the Quad 22L, ... | |
| Totems without Claws? Lots of really good speakers in this price range other than Totems and Thiels too. I auditioned a bunch and had a hard time deciding. Totem, Thiel, Vandy, Revel, Von Schweikert, Dali, Proac, Vienna, PMC, etc. The best of the bunch I think by far a... | |
| Totems without Claws? I had your same problem. I own Hawks and have used them with and without claws - with a fair amount of lead shot in the base, there is little difference.However, the chrome claws were going to be a showstopper for me too but my dealer called Totem... | |
| FLAC, WAV, RAW, AIFF Download Sites? Checked it out Garyk and it looks good but at almost $16 per CD it's crazy expensive. See alberporter's post about yourmusic.com - I bought 20 CD's at $5.99 each the other day. If you eliminate the materials and mfg. cost of the CD itself and prov... | |
| FLAC, WAV, RAW, AIFF Download Sites? Thanks for the responses. I have checked out several sites and there are very few higher res downloads available - mostly lossy compression stuff. Too bad no one has put together a decent download site for audiophiles where you can get a lot of st... | |
| Two Subs Vs. One Thanks for all the advice - really appreciate it - it's always interesting to hear several logical yet contradictory and often mutually exclusive opinions on audio topics - part of the fun really. I decided to start my sub experience with a single... | |
| Large room but not large budget-suggestions please I have a very similar room set-up and bought the Totem Hawks - I auditioned the Arros in my room and they were just too small - the bass got lost in the second story. The Hawks are better but not perfect. I kind of wish I'd spent a little more mon... |
