| Subwoofer Plug 09-11-12: Dhl93449JohnnyBYour are describing the properties of a driver optimized for a AS design. The OP does not have that. He has a ported design he wishes to convert with a plug. I only mentioned that he can get SOME of the benefits of the AS ... | |
| cartridge cost/quality/performance There is a high end store in my town that has a great sense of component synergy. They carry some of the best stuff out there at various price points--PSB, Magnepan, JL, Vienna, B&W, and Wilson, Classe, ARC, VTL, D'Agostino, SME, Ayre, DPS, Li... | |
| Need speaker for a small space and close to wall True full range audiophile sound in a small speaker placed against the wall for $3K-ish?Sounds like the Guru Loudspeakers QM10 Two to me.Reviews:Positive FeedbackRaindrop AudioSonic FlareSoundstageHiFi ChoiceOther Excerpts | |
| Monitor Audio??? Good for you. I listened to some Monitor Audio Silver RX series speakers recently and was very impressed. The newer CCAM drivers sound like a significant improvement over the previous generation woofers. | |
| Help finding a Sub w/ quick punch down to 20hz 09-02-12: Johnnyb53The REL F110 is about 13"x15"x17" and is good to at least 25 Hz.Oops, I meant the JL Fathom F110, but you guys probably figured that out by now. | |
| Forgiving, musical speaker.... Phasecorrect, you may get just what you're looking for from the GoldenEar Triton Two. Most of the business is handled by an MTM arrangement where the tweeter is a Heil-style folded ribbon. It is quite smooth and extended. Bass is handled by intern... | |
| Forgiving, musical speaker.... Toward the end of 1996 I bought a pair of Mirage M5si's. They still anchor my 7.2 HT system. In early 1997 I auditioned a pair of Sonus Faber Concerto Grand Pianos and I marveled at how similar their tonal balance was to my Mirages. And although t... | |
| Forgiving, musical speaker.... 09-08-12: UnsoundWith all due respect but when you ask for a "Forgiving, musical speaker"..."but {not} too detached or polite...." you might be asking for a contradiction.It seems like a contradiction, but it's more of a paradox. Such speakers are... | |
| Traveler Vs TT15s1 vs? They don't get much press anymore, but at the Traveler's price range the SOTA Comet s/b a viable candidate as well. | |
| Subwoofer Plug Sorry Dhl93449, Eldartford had it right:An air suspension design requires a sealed enclosure, but not all sealed enclosure speaker designs are air suspension designs. The bass drivers made today usually come with the specs to determine the enclosu... | |
| Forgiving, musical speaker.... 09-06-12: Rose75How about Ohm Walsh?Another great choice for the same reason as the Mirage OMD15. For performance for the dollar, I have to give the nod to the Mirage OMD-15 and 28, which in performance are equivalent to the Ohm 2000/3000 and Ohm ... | |
| Forgiving, musical speaker.... Mirage OMD-15. Originally $2500/pair, they are now available through vanns.com for $800-1000/pair with free shipping, return privileges and full factory warranty. They have a 9" x 11" footprint and are slightly forward-throwing omnidirectional. Th... | |
| Stole my wife's Clarisonic to clean records... I suggest you try some Ajax dish detergent instead of record cleaning fluid, then rinse the record thoroughly, vacuum it and further dry it with a microfiber terry towel as you did.Most record cleaning fluids are isopropyl alcohol-based and are so... | |
| Traveler Vs TT15s1 vs? Here's a casual but enthusiastic review at Positive Feedback.I like the idea of a 10" double-gimbal arm. The removability feature should make cartridge mounting safer (for the cantilever) and easier too. | |
| Anybody specialize in older SHure carts? 09-06-12: PhasecorrectI find Shure much more musical...to each his own I guess...AT carts are hyper-detailed but yet kind of clinical...I've been happily living with my AT150MLX for over 4 years now. I have found that it is *very* sensitive to cap... |
