| Coincident speakers 14 Ohms - What amplification to use when streaming Tidal. A Bakoon SCA 7511 integrated amp should match well.They are solid state class A/B but current drive,have zero negative feedback and like SETs have a high output impedance .They do not sound exactly like a SET but are probably more like them than a... | |
| JBL Studio 590 I owned a pair for about 18 months.Yes they are very good speakers for the type.Basically they give you a good taste of what large horn speakers are capable of-a big open soundstage,excellent dynamics and lots of vibrancy and presence .Unlike most... | |
| Yamaha NS 5000 They not only sound superb but they measure superbly too.Which at least in part explains why they sound so completely "right" and natural.And unlike most modern high end speakers are an easy load.That is how a well engineered speaker should measur... | |
| Any Love for Magico S5 Original Version? From what I have heard yes a tube preamp and good high current SS power amp.That combination certainly sounded better than an all SS system despite the SS preamps being far more expensive. | |
| Any Love for Magico S5 Original Version? The original S5s are really excellent speakers.They just need matching with the right preamp and power amp to bring them to life and open them up .Otherwise they can sound a bit too dry and constrained.They work beautifully with Supratek preamps w... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons I think you will find that the Confidence speakers need to be matched with very good sounding amplifiers to sound their best whereas the Contour line are more forgiving of lesser quality amplifiers -but at the price of having lower resolution . | |
| Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II You should try to listen to some Yamaha NS5000s.That might mean crossing the border into Canada.They are wonderfully complete and natural sounding speakers.That very rare combination of sounding both highly transparent and detailed and also musica... | |
| ATC SCM 40 vs. ATC SCM 50 The Wilmslow kits were really not the same as SCM 50 or 100 ,I understand the midrange crossover was quite different and not very well done.Regardless of that ATC no longer sell the sell the drivers to anyone.Wilmslow now use Volt drivers. | |
| Yesteryears' expensive speakers compared to modern moderately expensive speakers Well I have owned a great many speakers and I think my 40 year old refurbished Gale 401s and my 55 year old Toshiba SS30s and the 50 year old Tannoy Monitor Gold 15s sound better than the vast majority of modern speakers .Certainly anything under ... | |
| Dynaudio Contour 30 vs Confidence C2 comparisons I directly compared the Confidence C1 Platinum with the Contour 20.The C1 is a much better sounding speaker.It does not sound like a box and sounds much cleaner and more open and 3D and bass is much more accurateThe Contour 30 might be better than... | |
| SF Cremona Auditor M vs Harbeth 30.1 I owned the Cremona Auditor Ms and really liked them.They are especially good with classical and acoustic music.String tone is especially good.And of course they look beautiful.I only sold them because I wanted to use them in a smallish room and f... | |
| Final Retirement Amplifier-Class A-Upcoming Gryphon Essence Stereo vs Accuphase A75 You are going about this the wrong way.What you should be doing is stating what speakers you own and asking people with the same speakers which amplifiers in their experience sound best.Speaker/amplifier synergy is always the most important consid... | |
| Standmount speakers. I have $5000. "...Osborn Eos Reference Elite"jtgof: these are intriguing. If price on their website is AUD it works out to under $2800 USD. Of course, availability anbd/or ship-to in USA is a question as is warranty service should anything go wrong. <... |
