| Best beer Hoptimum is about 10%ABV -- go easy! O'Dell's Mercenary another fine big pale, tho perhaps not as good as Hoptimum. Founder's is making a lot of good big beers (the exception being their unfortunate Hazelnut Coffee flavred offering).John | |
| North Acoustics Kitty Kat Revelator What's the question? North Creek a great company, with sweet sounding speakers. George Short and the guy who builds his cabinets, both good to deal with. | |
| Gallo Reference 3.5 Speakers. Now Looking For Amp Hi Jim, I'm in St. Louis, not LA (unfortunately! ;)My amp is the Pass INT-30A. I love the amp (very sweet mids and female vocals) and it is likely that the speakers will go, and not the amp, if I can't make it work. One possibility is to add the G... | |
| Gallo Reference 3.5 Speakers. Now Looking For Amp Spectron is in Northridge, maybe you can arrange a visit.I am currently experimenting with the 3.5s and a 30wpc Class A; my suspicion is that this is not a good fit, the 6moons review notwithstanding. I'll get to compare a beefier amp tomorrow nig... | |
| Gallo Reference 3.5 Speakers. Now Looking For Amp I believe Gallo shows with Spectron, which is high power class D. They did when I saw them at RMAF, and it sounded very good; John is a good guy, and his amps hit your price point new. | |
| PBN Montana Sammy: Any Experience? Thanks for the very detailed and helpful description, Ozfly!!!I'm especially encouraged by your observation that they are completely non-fatiguing. That's one of the things I like most about the EPS2 -- many well-liked speakers give me ear bleed -... | |
| wall mounts? I didn't need an articulating arm, but amazon had lots of options, lots of helpful reviews, and good prices when I got my mount. If you have amazon prime, no freight.Not much one can't buy on amazon now; wonder how long until they are the only ret... | |
| File format, software and settings? Waste of time.Speaking of time, I'm temporarily back to a CDP, while my DAC is being serviced, and I'd forgotten what a PITA it can be: searching for discs, changing discs, etc., with the work increasing proportionally if you are the type who like... | |
| Short Gallo 3.5 review Thanks, RW. I took a chance on the Gallos with my 30wpc Pass in part based on the 6moons review. Heard them sounding very good at RMAF with Spectron.John | |
| Short Gallo 3.5 review Another question:Any thoughts on placement of the 3.5s? I've a 14'x 21' x9'h room, speakers will go on a short wall. Do they like more breathing room, less, etc.?Thx,john | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? Can there be one answer to this question?The "live" sound of a paint-peeing rock band (which as Bobo notes, often sucks -- in a good way), and the "live" sound of an un-amplified singer/songwriter are very different things (and so on for many diff... | |
| Devore Nines and Daedalus Athena comparison? Late to this, but I auditioned the 9s and the Daedalus DA-RMa, and I'd take the latter, which I found a more relaxing speaker (and one that compared quite favorably to Daedalus' big Ulysses). To be fair, the 9s were set up and a hard room, and I'm... | |
| Kimber, Signal or Blue Jeans? I ABed SIgnal Double Run and Blue Jeans in my system at one point, and I (and my GF), thought the Signal noticably, but massively preferable). Both good value, easy to deal with companies.John | |
| Warm Replacement for Adcom GFA 545 II I moved from Adcom to Odyssey. If you want to continue the theme of a burly SS amp, the Stratos is a thought. I'm not sure I'd call it warm, but it is definitely not brittle like the Adcom; I'm definitely sensetive to fatiguing highs, and I happil... | |
| Short Gallo 3.5 review Anyone have experience running the 3.5s with lower power amps? Wondering about compatibility with my 30wpc Pass INT-30-A.Thx,John |
