| PSB or stick with vintage ADS Interesting... 15 years ago I listened to many speakers that I felt could best my trusty ADS's. I finally found the PSB Stratus Golds kicked everything to a whole new level. Obviously this was many years ago, but from a value perspective, PSB is s... | |
| Reference 3A Grand Veena, can they rock? You will be sorely disappointed if and when you turn up the volume on the Grand Veenas. The midrange driver is run full range, which makes it a seamless sound, but that also means it is fed bass frequencies. As a result, the Grand Veenas won't pla... | |
| Anyone in New York with Grand Veenas? I did the trial period for the Grand Veena, and I do not reccommend 'the process'. Since it is a large box and the shipping is international, I had to attach 5 copies of some form on the outside of the box that included my SS#, DOB, and a copy of ... | |
| Bryston BCD-1 Player Owners I also got off the upgrade merry-go-round via the BCD-1.I love the sound of this player- there is not a trace of hardness or digititus. The transport is dead quiet when spinning discs, and for about a year, the player has worked flawlessly.It is a... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? I still own them, and I'm about to get rid of the boxes- they're staying.Their tonal balance is on the warm, forgiving side, which is what I have been looking for. Prior to the Crescendos, I had a small parade of speakers that were too analytical ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendo I have owned them for close to a year. Everyone is different, but I find them the perfect speaker for me. I had taken advantage of the trial periods for a few others- Reference3a Grand Veena, Zu Audio Definition Mk2, and a Tyler Acoustics model I ... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? Jeff,My tastes run the gamut- in some semblance of 'airtime':Rock / pop 40%Blues 30%50's / 60's Jazz 20%World/Ethnic/Anything goes 10%What I EMPHATICALLY don't listen to are so-called audiophile recordings. | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? I am most definitely not experiencing one note bass. In fact, the bass of the Crescendos seems more articulate than my previous speakers, Monitor Audio GS 60's. I am hesitant to post any type of full review just yet for several reasons. The speake... | |
| Acoustic Zen Crescendos- Any Owners Out There? Well then...It seems that I am one of a select few that have gone and ordered the Crescendos, and will have to take great care in reporting on their sound...To be continued next week- delivery is scheduled for Tuesday. | |
| Hafler preamps - good, not so good, and history? I guess I should also add that I owned the Adcom 565, and it had none of the issues I talked about regarding the Hafler preamps. I recently sold the 565 and at 14 years old, still had no switch or other noise. | |
| Hafler preamps - good, not so good, and history? I have had a Hafler preamp, amps (DH... & DH...), and I loved the sound, but would never buy a Hafler preamp now.After a short period (1 year and on), every Hafler preamp in my circle of friends ( 3 or 4 of us) developed noisy, damn near explo... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition So... I got my Definition 2's on Dec.23. I wanted to wait until they had some hours on them before commenting. I'll start off by saying that break-in is a major factor with these. The Zu website says as much, but I always figure that's just a ploy... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition I just got the tracking number yesterday, so the Definitions are on their way. I will post my impressions after a week or two, and compare them to my current Monitor Audio GS60's plus REL Britannia B2 sub. | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition I went to the Zu website, and it looks like they raised the price of the Definitions to $11,000 from $9,999. I'm glad I ordered when I did... | |
| Who OWNS Zu Audio Speakers- Especially Definition Keith,No, I have not received them. I placed the order on October 29th, so I would have expected them by now. As far as I know, they have not even shipped yet. I just sent an email to follow up on their progress. Jim |
