| tannoy or devore or.... My brother owned Tannoy Stirlings and I owned Glenaire Tens.They are both quite pleasant sounding speakers but from my experience the Tannoy magic starts with the 12 inch DCs and 15 DCs in big wide baffle boxes.My suggestion would be a pair of Mon... | |
| Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused This is a topic that deserves consideration. I do suspect the home audio enthusiast is paying too much. You can buy a pair of top model RCF active horn loaded speakers which contain very high quality components and a lot of technology for about ... | |
| Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps They sound different because they are electrically different.This provides an excellent explanation of those differences. http://education.lenardaudio.com/en/12_amps_8.html | |
| Experience with applying Kilmat to Cornwall IV Horns? I tried damping the horns on my Klipsch and it made them sound worse.If you do it make sure it is easy to reverse.Try blu tac. | |
| Revel F208 - worth a try? The F208s lack image projection and depth.If you enjoy a more 3D soundstage they would not be the best choice. Hi Fi News commented on this when they reviewed them and that is how they sounded to me.The measurements confirm that sort of sound -"... | |
| Audio Science Review = Rebuttal and Further Thoughts The more I learn about the Toole and Olive research on speakers which ASR and other objectivists quote as gospel the more I get the smell of book cooking.The selection of two speaker samples with abnormally narrow dispersion and uneven frequency r... | |
| Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier? Chris Bryant and Hi Fi Critic commended it on its measurements but gave it a very low score for sound quality-mainly because of its poor musical communication. | |
| Looking for good recordings of female vocals I have not yet tried... One of the best live recordings.One of the best voices on the planet. | |
| Suggest one obsure album we all should hear Great Album | |
| Preamps can color sound considerably. Surprising? More than anything else a good active preamp will provide a more 3D soundstage.Of course they have to synergise with the power amp to do that but when you get the combination right it can make the difference between a good sound and a really great... | |
| different people may hear the same sound differently... People definitely hear imaging differently.A lot of people seem to hear left/right imaging but not so much the phantom centre channel stereo effect and especially centre image projection and depth.I suspect this is far more common than we think. ... | |
| Best SET power amp below $5,000 Any SET amplifier you buy should have adjustable negative feedback as that greatly helps in getting the best sound out of different speakers. I am really over SETs that have fixed zero negative feedback.And many of the most expensive ones are lik... | |
| Comment about SS and Tubes Well SETs do not suit most speakers.Having speakers with a flatiish 8 -16 ohm impedance is really critical to hearing them at their best.But generally I prefer valve preamps with SS power amps and vice versa.The Cary SLP-05 is a very good sounding... | |
| Purifi v Gan amps? I had one on loan for a while.So from what I have heard is literally from what I have heard.It was a March Audio with no aftermarket op amp buffer.Tried it with a few different preamps and digital direct and a few of my speakers and could not get ... | |
| Purifi v Gan amps? So if you ant Purifi amps to have a sound you you use an op amp buffer with a sound? Why not just use an op amp based amplifier like a LM 3886 and avoid the cost of the Purifi module?If you need more power just parallel multiples of them. Althou... |
