| Researching the CD/HDCD Players from China The issue, as some have pointed out, is how well can you expect to get good service if something bad happens. Not sure. However, I know what you are saying - I have seen many ads and reviews apologizing for the product having been made in China. O... | |
| Amps-Cables for Focal 1007 BE I've heard people say that they had trouble 'taming' the highs in the various Be series, and surprisingly found good results in treating their digital source with something like Shunyata products. Only 2nd hand word though... | |
| Daedalus Thanks Jax and Dodge, appreciate the info! It seems tough to find anyone who owns or has heard the DA-RMa itself - I'm assuming it's similar overall in sound; I'll continue to research. I did contact Lou, he has been very helpful. | |
| Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim? I have said in previous posts on this website that if I only listened to vocals, jazz, chamber music, and other lighter music this would be my speaker. They DO have good bass (note some said they can be 'boomy' while others said 'bass shy'). As al... | |
| Spendor S8e or Vandersteen 3A-Sig or ? Yes, it does make sense. As many have said, I recommend taking your time; try as many as you can in your room while keeping your current speakers and comparing them against the new ones. Many dealers will let you take home a pair over a weekend an... | |
| Spendor S8e or Vandersteen 3A-Sig or ? I listened to the S8e's against the Harbeth SHL-5 at a dealer and found the Harbeth a much more enjoyable speaker, and with more bass. Electronics were Quad. In that setting I found the Spendor's boring compared to the Harbeth. After bringing home... | |
| Piega P10s.....are they still contenders? What you are saying is what most of us feel often. ...You like the sound, but maybe something would look better, sound better, have better bass, etc., etc. The trick is to appreciate that, if a genie offered you 3 times what you could afford to pa... | |
| Review: REL Acoustics Britannia B-1 Subwoofer Guy, sorry, just saw your post - no, I have not heard the JL subs. I'm sure they would be great also from what I have read anyway. Some have said for pipe organ music tube/cylinder subs (like the older Hsu's and SVS) are great. But I have not hear... | |
| "D" amps, general discussion who's 1 and why? With all the mention of the Rowland products I'll chime in here with my experience. I use the CONCERTO integrated with outboard PC-1. Amps before this include the McIntosh MA-6900, Cary Cinema 5 (excellent by the way), Rowland Concentra, and McInt... | |
| Integrated Amplifier balanced Audiophile_new,Your most recent post is not ignorant or annoying, but very accurate. Often times things don't change that much (and BTW your comparison of Camry's I agree totally with Accords). Some manufacturers do change technology however. Eith... | |
| proac sound vs coincident sound I've had the Proac D25 (similar to the 28, same drivers) with high quality SS amplification (Rowland concerto with PC-1) and the sound was definitely tilted up at the high end. I have had Harbeth here, and at least these D25's are NOT the 'english... | |
| "British sound", Daedalus, Tyler I have a post somewhere here about "Tyler vs. Harbeth." I auditioned both side by side for quite a while. I loved the Harbeths (SHL-5) vs Tyler Linbrook monitors. The Linbrooks had almost as 'magical' mids but overall could handle heavy music very... | |
| Best Multi-channel Amp for Tyler Acoustics Speaker I owned a Cary Cinema 5 with 5 Tyler Linbrook speakers and found it excellent. Finesse, delicacy, and power/dynamics all fantanstic. It compared very favorably with the same speakers to 2 channel amps from McIntosh and others. | |
| "Best" of the "Universal" players ???. The Bel Canto PL-1 or 1A is very nice. | |
| Is There Greener Grass For Me? 4yanx, I am not sure what your current receiver has in terms of power, but I found (a once owner of the gold-i's) that they needed a lot of power. Also, I found that even once I gave them a lot of power, they still sounded a bit thin in the mid-ba... |
