| The low frequency response is Bass, not Base. I caught you a delicious bass🐟🎸 | |
| Coated woofer - why? JBL did this back in the 70’s or maybe earlier with a coating called Aquaplas which I believe was like a silica based epoxy spray. Supposed to improve damping, making paper cones more rigid and probably, and historically proven to extend the cones... | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers @gochurchgo For $750 a pair the LSiM 703’s are impossible to beat and they have a 45 day return, I think you just pay shipping back. I have a pair in my office and the bigger brother LSiM 707’s in my stereo room. Nobody really considers Polk to be... | |
| Your favorite Small Apartment Speakers I had a pair of Klipsch Palladium P-17b which I thought sounded wonderful but you really had to find the sweet spot to sit at or you missed a lot of the high end in my opinion, the dispersion angle was minimal. I replaced them with a pair of Polk ... | |
| Why I prefer gear that is made domestically This is the same reason for me why most of my equipment is either, US or Canadian built, with the exception sometimes for speakers. Seems like around $3k - 4k is the breaking point that many of the "high end" speaker manufactures quit manufacturin... | |
| Imported audio are you getting the same level of performance vs domestic priced equip? I see Canton loudspeakers, made in Germany for 50% - 60% off retail at accessories4less.com as well as some heavily discounted, French built or designed Cabasse and Focal loudspeakers. I've heard a pair of the higher end Canton's years ago and the... | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? @mcreyn just send $99 cash to cover shipping and handling and mine are on the way! | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? @cheeg Don’t sell yourself short with the McC’s. I own and have owned many of each back then and now and in a blind taste test between comparable power units, it’s very hard to choose. Steve McC still does repairs, mods and upgrades too. I’ve been... | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? @brayeagle if you’re passing down inheritance like that, I’m about to be up for adoption real soon lol | |
| If you could bring back one great artist that has Prince, or since he passed, the Artist Formerly Known As Prince. | |
| wide baffles and baffle step I can personally attest to the fact that the Wharfedale Jade 7’s with the aperiodic loaded design baffles around the bottom of the speaker may be one of the best sounding sub $5k pair of speakers that I have ever owned. I kick myself in the @$$ ev... | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? I have came across other Bryston forums @erik_squires and have read quite a bit. My OP was really regarding Audiogon. Btw Erik, your posts have always been some of my favorite reads along with Elizabeth and Millercarbon, although no real common de... | |
| Any Love For Bryston Here? You are correct @nekoaudio their products and service are top notch. I did find my way onto one of their forums one time and there were nothing but positive reviews and accolades. They always respond quickly to phone calls and emails also. The onl... | |
| Upgrade McCormack or... I've owned about a dozen McCormack products over the last 25 years, both stock and modded. In agreeance with rsf507 you do want to keep them to get your money's worth, but high end audio is not an investment, you almost always lose $ down the road... | |
| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO @technick thanks for the mention. I would never bash anyone's product if I didn't own or have first hand experience with the product, not a hypocrite. I love guns, I'm not a Glock fan, but I own one. They're reliable but kinda simple and generic, ... |
