Soliloquy and bad crossovers
Cody, I'm glad that things worked out for you. I use a double run of Oval 12. I like it alot more than my biwired 8TC or my biwired Wireworld Atlantis. I never have used the jumpers so I can't tell you if they sound better single or biwired. Jim 
Soliloquy and bad crossovers
Cody, I contacted David Berman at Soliloquy because I cracked the grill cover on my 6.5s. Even though I am the second owner of these speakers, he said that he didn't have any grills in stock at the time but, to call him later in the month and he w... 
How much burn-in for Soliloquy 5.3s
Rysa4, The model that Cody has were manufactured in 1999. I believe that they have Analysis Plus internal wiring. I'm not sure if Soliloquy has changed the internal wiring on their newest "i" models. Jim 
How much burn-in for Soliloquy 5.3s
Cody, I believe that David Berman the owner of Soliloquy recommended Analysis Plus products because of the synergy generated with the internal wiring of his speakers being Analysis Plus. I switched my speaker cables to AP as well as my interconnec... 
How much burn-in for Soliloquy 5.3s
Cody, I have the 6.5s and they also took forever to breakin. After an extended breakin, I still thought that they were a little lacking in treble extension. I was using Kimber 8TC biwired at the time. I called the owner of Soliloquy and he suggest... 
Alternate interconnect to Cardas Neutral Reference
I can also recommend the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal interconnects. Like you, I am running some CJ equipment. The Solo Crystal worked well to improve my system. They replaced some Audioquest vipers and emeralds, Nordost Red Dawns, and some Kimber i... 
Phase Technology mini-monitors?
Hello, I had a three pair of the PC-80s with their matching subs. I sold all three sets to friends when I upgraded to some ADS 1290s and then again when I got a pair of KEF 104/2s. I am still kicking myself for letting them go. They imaged like no...

platinum audio vs. soliloquy vs. dunlavy?
Hello, I am going through the same thing right now. My boy is almost nine months and he is every where. I have a pair of Soliloquy 6.5 in my office system. The speakers weigh 130 lbs each so they are too heavy to tip over. The problem is that the ... 
I have a confession to make
I know a good lawyer and I think that we can sue your local stereo store for damages, professional treatment, divorce court, pain and suffering, etc... 
WAF, Help, Need Strategy
Slappy, I think that Electric Monk is most correct. Take her shopping for gear. Let her hear the differences between a cheap Bose system and what you want. I took my wife to look for a bigger TV and she wanted to buy a $10,000 50 inch plamsa TV. I... 
Nordost Blue Heven vs Nordost Red Dawn?
Mitch, As a rule, as you go up in expense with the Nordost cables, you get "more" of the qualities of the lower cable. If they cleared up the sound of a dark tube preamp you should expect more of the same. If you like what the Blue Heavens bring t... 
Legacy Focus 20 20 vs Soliloquy 6.5
Hello, I also have the 6.5s. I am very happy with them. There is a review on the Soliloquy website that compares the 6.5 to the Lagacy Focus 20/20s. The reviewer liked the 6.5s better. The reviewer said that even though the Legacy have more driver... 
Salamander Cabinet Resonance Problem. Help
I don't think that my mesh side panels are wrapped in rubber like some of yours. I have a lot of wiggle room between the mesh and the Aluminum rails. They just bang around. They are free to move left, right, up, down, and in and out. I don't think... 
Anyone still do insightful or intelligent lyrics?
Springsteen's early songs were relevant to his times and personal experiences growing up in a middle class NJ household. His lyrics on some songs rivaled great poetry. His latest albums are getting back to that personal experience style. I also li...
