| Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ????? Doug, no matter what, CLS's on their own will never be raucus. That's the part-time problem. The 80/20 rule is coming into play. I'm mostly sooooo happy with these speakers. They do the transparent detail thang so well. But some stuff I listen to ... | |
| Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ????? Yeah, I think you're right about that Doug. I picked up the same pov from vmps' site. I'm just grappling with placement issues -- got to get the tape measure out. My speakers are on a 10x13 rug on an otherwise tiled floor. Since vmps says you can ... | |
| Help learn diff.between SS and Tube Hi Doug. Mesa actually recommends using either a passive or medium gain tube linestage (see "comments" in associated equipment section). Also confirmed this in conversations with designer and tech people there. Not sure about where on their site t... | |
| Help learn diff.between SS and Tube Hi Perfectimage. You have a point about speaker matching. I had been running VAC PA 160's with my Martin Logan CLS's and switched to a Mesa Baron. Neither can be described as mushy. The VAC's had better detail, but the Baron has big balls and grea... | |
| Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ????? Thank you, Doug. Happy Holidays. | |
| "Krell" is a buzzword We can only hope that Fiat does it right and are prepared to commit to re-building Alfa over a number of years. I really hope they are in it for the long haul. There are a lot of misconceptions among the general public regarding our beloved marque... | |
| Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ????? Hey, Doug. I just happen to have an old Adcom GFA555 laying around. What do the VMP's go for on the used market? Might be fun to try them. Also, since subs are prtty much "non directional" is there any problem placing a single sub between my speak... | |
| Help learn diff.between SS and Tube I wouldn't necessarily attribute the Anthem's lack of the slam factor to it's being a tube design. Actually, the tubes are only used for the input section. The rest of the amp is a ss as it gets. I would say that it is more likely that you are hea... | |
| Best cables for electrostats? One more point regarding Alpha Core Goertz... order direct and you get three weeks to decide whether you like them. Your credit card isn't charged until then, so no hassles getting a refund if these don't float your boat. | |
| Best cables for electrostats? Ahhh, a thread I can really relate to. I have CLS's and have decided to audition the Alpha Core Goertz in my system. After talking directly to the designer, I decided to try their silver IC's and the MI2 Veracity (copper) cable. The white papers o... | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player Brulee, the memory isn't what it used to be. Paul was Stan's partner when they started the company. They really created some inovative products when they were a small company. No, I don't live in Santa Maria. But I do make it a point to try to gra... | |
| Anyone tried Stan Warren/Supermod Player Man, am I getting old. I remember when PS Audio stood for "Pete and Stan" and these guys were designing and making great sounding equipment up in the land of Santa Maria BBQ. I still have a PS1 (also known as a PS Source) which came either as a ki... | |
| Soul Recommendations It's interesting to notice that Buddy Guy (and you've got to include Junior Wells) comes up on threads for rock guitarists and now on the soul thread. Shows you how many people love these guys. Buddy and Junior are among my favorites and I have ma... | |
| Soul Recommendations Tubegroover, this thread prompted me to listen to these soul CD's today (thanks Redkiwi!). I haven't listened since I got my tube amp (too busy with more hi-fi sounding stuff and looking for audio nirvana). This sounded sooooooo much nicer with tu... | |
| BNC Info Please Mikec, so it appears that the set up that sounds best to me currently is the best option... Thanks for the feedback. |
