| Best bargain for speaker that can offer top sound Klipsch Heritage speakers, specifically the Khorns, LaScallas, Belle Klipsch, and Cornwalls...as long as you mate them with complimentary amplification.Marco | |
| Linbrook Signature monitors...questions Let me ask you this; is your sibilance problem something that bugs you on all vocal material you listen to? On the other hand, could you be focusing on only a handful of selective offending CD's? I ask because I know too well the obsessive nature ... | |
| Widest soundstage I'd second Waters "Amused to Death". My dog is still looking for the barking dog in the next room.Marco | |
| Integrated or Separates on a budget Used or demo Portal Panache would be a superb choice if you only need a line stage and don't require a remote. To drive two sets of speakers you might need a switching box. I'd recommend a used Bryston if you can find one. Maybe a bit more investm... | |
| Linbrook Signature monitors...questions not withstanding the negative report by other audiophiles & several highly respected online reviewers state that this tweeter is sibilance.I've not read any reviews at all of the SR17 VIII, either real-world comments, nor reviewers. If you kn... | |
| Linbrook Signature monitors...questions I will try the boards & bolts with the stands ..did you do anything to the bttoms like add a large flag stone to stabilze them?.Did you need a concrete drill to run the bolt through the concrete … or have I got the wrong idea here. One last th... | |
| Help with PC Audio Quality vs. CD Audioengr's comments in the attached thread sum it up:There's some really helpful information on all aspects of PC Audio from Audioengr (Steve of Empirical Audio)in many of the threads he's contributed to. There's a good debate between Steve and ... | |
| Linbrook Signature monitors...questions I haven't had the same experience with ssssssibilance on the VIII's as you describe, but then I've always used the VIII's with at least 100wpc SS power. In previous encarnations I've had I've used tubes, and do recall at least one combination that... | |
| Help with PC Audio Quality vs. CD The external USB options might be a big improvement over your internal M-Audio card. I have no experience with the M-Audio card to say for sure, but in my research it seemed to me that none of the cards could touch the external devices. You'll nee... | |
| WiFi connection for LP to hard drive No experience with the product, but Hagtech makes a product called The Ripper for exactly that purpose. Marco | |
| Linbrook Signature monitors...questions Interesting. I've had all three versions of Alan's SR17's and currently own the VIII as well. The VIII is certainly the most refined of the lot, and all have been very impressive, coherent speakers, so that is saying alot. I haven't had the same i... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use Just as a quick response to the Epos recommendation - I purchased a pair of Epos 3's for my mother in-law, which she still has and enjoys. Good for the money, but will not hold a candle to the Era 5's. Even for the money I'd probably look for a us... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use Marco and Prpixel: The Era is one of the audition suggestions from the dealer nearest to me, so I will be able to hear these this week.I suspect you will be mightely impressed with them. I couldn't believe the tight, low bass coming from those tin... | |
| Speakers small enough for desktop use Era Design 5 would likely serve you well at the top of your price range. I did not listen nearfield, but heard them up against a wall. Magnificent qualities for such a small speaker. I was really impressed by them. On a more limited budget I'd agr... | |
| Any suggestions for good obscure music? Grant - I do like the Kronos Quartet colaborations with Glass like the soundtrack to Dracula.Getting more adventurous, how about Rachel's - ever metamorphosing in their performances, they are also probably closest to the kind of Avante-garde Class... |
