| In Memory of Henry Kloss I got to meet Mr. Kloss A few years back in Boston, didn't look or act like a genius, but after talking to him for a few minutes, I knew I was in the prescence of one. I cannot begin to think what all of us owe Henry Kloss, I know that through his... | |
| tweeters to the inside or outside Is incredibly wonderful to read people writing what they are above, as they are right and to me its part of the joy are owning new gear. There are no set rules, and even the set rules are sometimes wrong. Try each and all postions you think might ... | |
| How do Klipschorns compare with modern designs? In a very large room, with of course a good front end, and Cornwall center channel, there are very few loudspeakers that can deliver music with the visceral(aren't we gettin high fallutin?)impact that this set up can. In other words, damn inpressi... | |
| Cheap Panels...MMG's or Apogee Centaur Minors?? Kinda ditto on the above, Apogee nice loudspeaker, and there is a place in Australia I believe that is redoing the ribbons, but who knows for how long. MMG is a good sounding speaker and Magnepan is going to be here. That means MMG always going to... | |
| adcom gfa 555 vs 555 II Kirk930 is correct. Chiro great choice, and actually I would tell you to look at the Bryston 3B if you have to have a "name" amp. Not as many watts, yeah, I guess on paper, but actually delivers a deeper bass, especially to a 4 ohm load. probably ... | |
| What is the opposite of near field listening? Will someday take you up on your offer, be careful, wouldn't mined hanging out in Brookline a day or two., would you believe I also used to live in the Berkshires and in Taunton and Natick? I do miss the audio stores, and really a lot of the live ... | |
| What is the opposite of near field listening? Subaruguru, you been going to way too many of those high priced concerts. Come to Nashville on some Sunday night, we will go to The Stagecoach Inn and hear 20 or 30 of the best"hillbilly classical", "bluejazz", and "bluegrass" music there is. All ... | |
| What to do... US Postal Money order not received. I use them all the time, and it could very much be human error on the recieving of the letter, Priority or otherwise. I bought a Bryston 4B in CA(I am in Nashville)seller says he did not receive just to find it 3 weeks later in a Rolling Stone Mag... | |
| What High End Manufacturers Could Learn From Bose Ed, and please, I did not take this or very little personally(to manys dismay) , my point is more that the diamond or ruby or whatever precious stone or metal it might be, will last beyond many liftimes without maintenence and care and will be of ... | |
| What High End Manufacturers Could Learn From Bose I do hope you are kidding? Bose is mass mid fi, they are in it for the money, and in actuality I see nothing wrong with that, it is what they chose to do. But in no way could a Krell, Martin Logan, Revel compete in that market or do I doubt they e... | |
| Dented Tweeter? I have sucked shrimp and crawdad heads and sucked the marrow out of bone(osso busco) so I will surely suck out a dent in a dome tweeter. Probably better to do it that way than use a full size vacuum, as I have damaged one that way, though it was v... | |
| What is the opposite of near field listening? Paulwp, I disagree, very few times is recorded music as good as live, no matter where you are sitting. You can call it sound, performance, ambiance, feel, whatever, but at a good live performance, the room, the performance and the experience is th... | |
| What is the opposite of near field listening? Hey 25 years ago I thought you had to set mikes in front of your speakers to record to cassette or reel to reel. Then again, a guy wrote and ask me last night what kind or tube/mike/preamp he might use to record his guitar amp to digital, which is... | |
| What is the opposite of near field listening? NEAR FIELD LISTENINGIn speaker/listener positioning, an equilateral triangle arrangement that equals listener-to-speaker distance with speaker-to-speaker distance and optimally subtracts room interaction from the playback event. The near-field pos... | |
| 3 Way Speakers Well, I was taught a couple of simple ways of looking at speakers design,1 way,or 10 way. The ways actually do not seem to matter. If you are building a speakers and only have a marginal woofer and a marginal tweeter to work with, you may well nee... |
