| The Harbeth phenomenon I owned the original M40 for several years and have heard most of the Harbeth models at length. I think the point about the midrange is correct. This is where they shine. There is a natural, dimensional and tonally correct quality to the mids of t... | |
| Herron VTSP-3A Agree on all the comments about the spectacular sonics of the VTSP3a (Disclosure: I sell Herron gear, Departure Audio). What I think doesn't get recognized enough with this piece is how intelligently it's designed and how good the ergonomics are. ... | |
| Class A amplifiers - which are considered the best Clayton Audio, probably the best amps I've ever heard (I owned two of their models). If you can accomodate the heat, weight, cost and electrical draw, it doesn't get better than this (IMHO). | |
| Canton Reference Any opininion? Disclosure: I retail Canton speakers, focusing on the Reference and Vento series. Canton is one of the largest loudspeaker manufacturers in the world, they've been at it for almost 40 years and have around 40% of the German market. The technology,... | |
| Anyone spent time with the Totem Wind? I evaluated the Winds (basic version) and a few other Totem models to potentially carry in my business (I am a by- appointment retailer). I liked 'em well enough, but, surprisingly, found another line that I liked even better: Canton. Without gett... | |
| Eggleston Dealers The speakers may be good, but the company is awful with communications. Don't return calls/e-mails. Turned me off to them. | |
| Pure Class A shootout Clayton Audio makes the best class A amps (or any other type) I have ever heard. I've owned two of their models, S-2000 and M-200. | |
| New Green Mountain Rios - has anyone heard them? Like Kory above, I also sell 'em so I obviously like the way they sound and I even like the looks (I guess there's no accounting for taste). Regarding the web site, I have'nt found many audio manufacturers sites that are more thorough and informat... | |
| Blue Circle amplifiers We used a Katlas in my room at the recent Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. Disclosure: I sell Blue Circle gear, Departure Audio. There is a "house sound" with Blue Circle. All their gear sounds coherent, musical, smooth yet highly resolving. As in the p... | |
| Tight accurate midfield monitor pair suggestions The new Green Mountain Rio's are in your price range ($2500). Very accurate and musical sounding, time and phase coherent too. Some early sales have been into the pro/studio market. Disclosure: I sell 'em, Departure Audio. | |
| Searching for passive subwoofer... Green Mountain Audio's Hammer Lite is an exceptional performing passive sub. Disclosure: I sell 'em, Departure Audio. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? FYI for Ohm lovers, the final version of the Blue Circle Audio Penny speakers is complete. This is the only speaker, to my knowledge, that marries Ohm drivers with conventional bass drivers for improved bass response. The Pennys will be at the Roc... | |
| Which cable has most impact - IC, Spkr., power? My last thought on this because it probably is one of those questions where there really is no definitive "answer." Shadorne's post makes a lot of sense to me and I have long been aware of all the pitfalls he cites and how they can impact on a cab... | |
| Which cable has most impact - IC, Spkr., power? As the thread originator.....I'm still searching for an answer. My brain tells me it should be IC's connected to source components. The old theory that if you don't get the information at the beginning of the chain, everything downstream suffers. ... | |
| Tube Amp for Green Mountain Audio Callisto Blue Circle gear has great synergy with GMA speakers. Disclosure: I am a Blue Circle and GMA retailer, Departure Audio. The DAR and FtTH ate hybrid integrated amps in the Blue Circle line. The new GDC integrated, while not a tube piece, is a terri... |
