| Horn Speakers I've owned many and heard them all. There's a reson the Cornwall's were resurrected by Klipsch and the Chorus, Fortes, etc. were not.They're very good speakers that have a smaller foot print, which is what they were designed for, but Paul knew wha... | |
| Horns for SET: Low budget solutions Don't overlook the Zu's. I have Klipsch CW's and Zu Druids. Different, but I love both. | |
| Horn Speakers Ecruz, you don't need to spend $10,000. The Cornwall's with a warm solid state, or even better, a 30 watt or so integrated tube amp, and you will be surprised at what they will do.A step up is the LaScalla's, which IMO are better, but don't have t... | |
| best amp for magnepan 3.6? Maggie's have great synergy with Audio Research. I heard them paired to an all AR set-up, i.e. amp, pre, and CDP with Nordost cables and it blew me away. Maybe the best system I've ever heard.It's been a few years so I do not remember the model nu... | |
| Oppo DV980H Audio Quality Hifidreams, I thought Blueray players only played DVD's. How were you able to compare the audio? | |
| Zu Druid questions Undertow, thanks for the explaination. I realize with most modern day amp's power increases as impedance drops, but I had/have no idea how they respond as the load increases. I've never seen this discussed, even with all the attention the Zu's are... | |
| Center channel phase question. Cdwallce, I'm not trying to pick at you, so please don't take it that way, but I think your wrong. Phase, as I understand it, is when the cones move in motion with one another. You can have two speakers located at an identical distance from your l... | |
| Zu Druid questions Squeegybug, the CW's are indeed very different. I've also owned the LaScalla's and they're exactly as you described. Everyone I know replaced the stock crossover's to tame these and they had very little bass, if any, below ~ 50Hz or so. I consider... | |
| Adcom amp for Kappa 8.1's? I owned the 8.1's for awhile. They're a fairly efficient speakers, but have a nasty impedence curve dropping to less than 1 Ohm @ some freq's.The only amps I ever used were the Adcom GFA 555-II and a pair of the 565's. The 555 did the job, but did... | |
| Center channel phase question. Cdwallace, I really don't think this has anything to do with my question. I was talking about checking the phase, not delays.Delays are easy to set in most processors, especially one's like my Arcam where you just plug in the distance from the spe... | |
| Why no love for Integra's? Thanks so much for the responses and advise. Of course I would always prefer to listen for myself, but it's very difficult in my town so I often rely on those who might have hands on experience.I realize some make comments without having ever hear... | |
| Zu Druid questions Thanks so much for your cable opinions. They are very helpful. BTW, I just picked up a pair of Cornwall II's. Haven't heard them in years, but they are of my all time favorites. I can't wait to see how they match up with the Zu's. | |
| Zu Druid questions Squeegybug, what differences did you hear between your two Zu speaker cables? I'm considering both. | |
| efficiant speaker with good bass? I'll 2nd the Druid recommendation (my current speakers), but good luck finding a pair for $1500. Also, if your looking for more bass I would 2nd the Klipsch Heritage recommendations, i.e. Cornwalls, LaScallas, or Chorus. All in your price range us... | |
| Center channel phase question. Thanks all. I think it's probably in-phase, but I'm going to roll the leads tonight just to check it out.I haven't had any issues, but I do run my three front speakers full range and got to thinking about the phase of all speakers, especially sinc... |
