| Other than music, why are you an audiophile? I like to second guess myself. In other words, I am always saying what is the next step to make this better? Finally, I have perfectionist tendencies which is absolutely a losing proposition in the real world. However, when the stars align and you... | |
| Thiel 3.5 equalizer advice I still own a pair and use them in my home theatre as the front channels. I agree with Vernneal's suggestion to just supplement the low end with a sub. The midrange unit on the 3.5 goes quite low, and with it's first order crossover point, it can ... | |
| Wilson Sasha's - All evolution in Wilsons are..... Regarding Tpreaves comments--my wife said exactly the same thing when she saw them at RMAF 2008. Every once in awhile I casually comment that I am thinking of getting a pair of those garbage can speakers just to tweak her a little. Personally I am... | |
| Screzaloos? Elizabeth, please tell us where you're getting cd's so cheaply. | |
| I need SS muscle I 2nd Blindjim's recommendation. I have VR4's and it's easier to get great bass with a pair of subs and place the VR's where you will get the best imaging and gigantic soundstage of which they are capable. they always sound best to me several feet... | |
| AV123 X-Static These are good home theatre speakers but are designed to be supplemented with subwoofers. They are also dipoles, so they need to be a few feet away from the front wall to get the best imaging. IMO, the AV123 Strata Mini is better all the way aroun... | |
| Are mono tube amps my best choice? I think the person you should be asking is the designer of the speakers and not a tube designer you have taken a liking too. I would ask Alan Yun at Silverline what he thinks. Personally, I think 9 watts driving Dynaudio drivers is way to little. | |
| Best amps for Usher X 718 Keep your setup and get an outboard phono preamp. | |
| Jungson JA88D vs Rogue Audio Cronus The Jungson does not have a lean sound. If anything it has a very full harmonic sound especially in the midrange. As is the case with any revealing system, the sound can be tuned by different interconnects, speaker cables and power cords. Bass is ... | |
| Jungson JA88D vs Rogue Audio Cronus I have a Jungson JA-88d as well as several other amp/ preamps. I have compared it to $5000 tube amp/preamp combo and the differences are very subtle at best. At it's current market price, I find it to be one of the steals of the century. Doesn't r... | |
| Opinions on Full-Range/single driver speakers Decware has some interesting designs and drivers you might find interesting | |
| ARC Ref and tube rolling I would call Leonard at Audio Research and ask him. Personally I would confine my tube rolling to the small signal tubes in the preamp and or cd player. | |
| Pre of three? You can never go wrong buying Mac equipment. Your non-audio friends will be impressed. But after about 6 months you will start to second guess your decision and sell the Mac on Audiogon and buy a demo Cary slp-98 in "minty" condition. After rollin... | |
| Genesis APM-1 to AV123 Strata Mini. Upgrade or Not really comparing apples with apples here. The genesis speakers cost 5 times the price of the strata mini's. With that being said, if you look closely at the strata's you will see that the ribbon tweeter is the exact same tweeter as in the gene... | |
| Any High-end speakers "kid-friendly" not fragile? AV123 "X"-line of speakers all have metal perforated grills |
