| Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding? Interesting posts.. I was beginning to think I was deaf.. my Senn 600's basically sound like c..ap. With the Musical Fidelity X Can they really are garbage compared to a decent system. I'm not sure if it is the X-Can or the combo, BUT they are so ... | |
| Magico Q5 IMHO, That applies to the whole line of Magico. While I respect their build quality and to some extent their sound, their marketing has been stellar in the last few years. The line is priced ridiculously and their used values are in an indictor of... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario? Tim,I would suggest, like Kops, that if you have a chance, to listen to the CATpreamp and amps. They really are the cat's meow( pun intended).Otherwise, you might consider one of the Jeff Rowland products or maybe the ARC Ref 110 or 200 along with... | |
| Best amp for Sonus Faber Amati Anniversario? Hi Tim,What pre-amp are you planing to use with your new amp? How big a room and what kind of music do you prefer? | |
| wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ? Thank you Tabl10s! I can understand the WAF factor that Ed has to deal with, I think my hubby understands this too..;0) BUT, I do think that a speaker that could have spanned over the top of the couch would likely sound much better. Particularly, ... | |
| wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ? Jtinn, I agree that i have not seen Ed's room dimensions. However, with the pictures of his room and the relationship of the MM's to the side walls, It seems highly probable that this room is sub-par, size wise, for a speaker like the Maxx's. Sure... | |
| wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ? Ed and JTinn, look up the wave length of a 20hz bass note.. I think you will find that the effect of trying to reproduce low end notes in a small space is to fall off the propagation of the wave of the note. This is akin to the effect that one hea... | |
| wilsom MAXX3 or Evolution Acoustics MMThree ? Ed, looking at the pics of your room, it doesn't surprise me a bit that you were having problems with the Max 2 and 3's! Your room is waaay too small for those speakers. Also, your speakers are firing into your couch! One of the most important asp... | |
| What Wilson to Buy? Rgs92 and Nolitan, I have heard almost all of the Wilson's and i agree withNolitan; it's the damn Focal titanium tweet that is their downfall.For some reason, DW seems to stick with this old design and while he hasdone some good things in the midr... | |
| Anyone heard the Kaiser Kawero's? Hi Sean, my friend has a smallish room...appx 15ftX12ft with a vault ceiling. He tried the Max 3's in this room and IMHO they overwhelmed the room a little. I suggested a smaller speaker, which is why he is considering the Kaisers. BTW, my friend ... | |
| Words From the Wise IMHO it's as follows:1) The room.. it makes or breaks the system2) The room..it makes or breaks the system3) Listen for yourself before buying4) The latest itineration is necessarily the greatest.5) Price doesn't necessarily determine how good the... | |
| Anybody heard or use the CAT Renaissance? Jeez Classic95, you're right, I mistook the trach(k)..Layla ( track #7) for'Cocaine'. for some reason in my mind these two are synonymous.Anyway, it was Layla and my impressions were as I wrote. | |
| Focal Scala Utopia vs Wilson Sasha? Bstefano, do tell us, you own Scala's maybe? | |
| Anyone using a Blu-Ray player as a transport? Almarg, That is very helpful. Though I still wander if due to the potential faster read of the data that there would be less potential for read error. Is anyone currently using a Blu-Ray as a transport that would like to offer an opinion on the so... | |
| Anyone using a Blu-Ray player as a transport? Cmalak, I am under the impression that the Blu-Ray willupsample to essentially SACD with Redbook CD's and that it will provide upsampled data at the digital audio outputs. I could be wrong on this, hense the questions. Also I am under the impressi... |
