| how make your speker faster 08-25-12: UnsoundSome other speakers that can produce a credible square wave include: Ohms with genuine Walsh drivers, Dunlavy's, Green Moutains, Thiels, Vandersteens, perhaps others too. I've seen excellent step responses in Stereophile test repo... | |
| how make your speker faster 08-24-12: UnsoundThere are a few other speakers that can produce a "credible square wave".I should have said "The only speaker I know of offhand that can produce a credible square wave..."Since it's the only one I know of, I'm interested in other ... | |
| Modest Speakers for Large Room For current offerings, you'd be hard pressed to beat the Monitor Audio Silver RX8, at $1750 full list. It's amazing how large and full-sounding these modestly-sized speakers sound. At the same time they bring a modern linearity and detailed resolu... | |
| how make your speker faster Every component in the signal chain has a rise time. The longer the rise time, the slower the signal transfer. It's true that there are faster components, amplifiers and interconnects, but all of them are way faster than speakers because they are ... | |
| Looking for foam surrounds for SD 300ti Also check:SpeakerworksMidwest Speaker RepairSimply SpeakersDecwareNewfoamI refoamed a pair of 6.5" EPI woofers several years ago. It took me a couple of hours and was pretty simple. The speakers still work fine. | |
| MM cartridge for WT Amadeus turntable I don't have an Amadeus, but I do have an Audio Technica AT150MLX, and it is a fabulous cartridge at its price. It comes with a MicroLine stylus, very similar to the profile of the original stylus on the V15. Most cartridges today with a MicroLine... | |
| What is the best vintage TT for new audiophile? 08-22-12: SkvintageWow! Great responses. Ok then, what about a new TT with a budget of say...$500??In that case, your best price/performance approach would be neither vintage nor new, but rather a recent used model in good condition that's about h... | |
| What is the best vintage TT for new audiophile? I don't know the OP's reasoning for a vintage turntable. Is it for the look to go with a vintage rig? Is it to save money? Is it the belief that everything sounded better 30+ years ago? Given that a turntable is a mechanical device, getting an old... | |
| Recommended Integrated Amp for Dynaudio Focus 260 I've heard the Marantz PM8004 and it made my jaw drop. It was powering a pair of Sonus Faber Cremona Ms ($10K/pair), and doing it perfectly: neutral, fast, totally musical, transparent midrange, smooth airy highs, and complete speed, control, and ... | |
| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used Here's a test report of the SVS MBS-01, which is probably the earlier version of the MBS-02, as the cabinet dimensions are the same. The measurements indicate that the sensitivity is more like 87 dB and that it puts out usable bass to around 40 Hz. | |
| Best Two-Way Monitor Speakers under $700 New/Used ^^^I've auditioned the passive Quad 12L2's and they were very evenly balanced and musically engaging. The cabinetry is very nice. The active version avoids the possibility of a bad amp matchup. If you can really find some for $700 that would be id... | |
| Monitor Audio??? Here's a fairly detailed picture of the BX2, and here's one of the MR2. You can see a couple of differences: the BX2 has the aerodynamically sculpted port opening to reduce chuffing; the MR2 appears to use a mass-produced one. The BX2 has a mesh d... | |
| Vote for best speaker value under 5K$ Used shouldn't count.Plenty of good nominations, but if you want stellar soundstage and imaging, full-range performance, fast, smooth midrange and treble, bass into the 20s, excellent sensitivity and dynamic range, the GoldenEar Triton 2 rewrites ... | |
| I just heard the Wilson Alexandria XLF's Wednesday TAS XLF review articulates what I sensed when I heard them; I was listening to greatness. I'm sure the $200K would get good results from Focal, Sonus Faber, or Magico as well as Wilson. I've only heard the Wilsons and they're certainly the best I'... | |
| Does a Sub for Wilson Sophia II make sense? I hate to tell you this, but your speakers, good as they are, are a bit too small for your room. 18' x 36' is Maxx territory, and would be a stretch for Sasha W/Ps. The fact that you have a 14dB drop from 1KHz to 200 Hz (upper bass) indicates that... |
