| Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII I demo’d Rockport Altairs recently but don’t think they will fix your dynamic craving. They have more realistic tone though. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Well, I still ordered it. Maybe in my 40s will prefer the original :)Its rare to have analog mastered 90s albums, so gotta take what you can get. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Kind of a bummer that EBTG album doesn't include the Todd Terry remix...I wonder if they will do Walking Wounded too.prof, have you heard the current version Spendors (D7 or D9) vs the Devores and Josephs? | |
| VAC 160i SE vs Audio Research GSi75 Yes, @ghasley the original Avatar is an all-time classic! | |
| VAC 160i SE vs Audio Research GSi75 Don't conflate new ARC vs. old ARC (post-Ref 75). Very different sounds and the whitish-SS nature of the several decades prior is gone. I feel new ARC > VAC, but would recommend a TVC + Ref 75SE vs the integrated. Wonderful combination. That al... | |
| Anyone hear Vivid Audio Speakers? Considering Vivid Giya G1 Series 2 from Magico S5 MKII I think the aesthetics are more controversial than the sound... | |
| Organic, musical and natural sounding speakers up to $12K I prefer Spendor and Devore to Audio Note/Harbeth. More alive and dynamic sounding. | |
| Speaker Thoughts - YG Acoustics Hailey 2.2 vs Magico S5 MK II I prefer YG as they sound more alive and dynamic- but really the Hailey2 probably compares more with Magico M line with in-house drivers. | |
| Home demo. ProAc D48R and Spendor D9 What amp are you using? | |
| AYRE VX-5 TWENTY- WHICH TUBE PREAMP MATCHS Ayre has very high input impedance (1 megaohm), so tube preamps should generally speaking be a great match. | |
| Zu Druid 6 I'm not sure why a $75k+ Audiomachina speaker is being brought up on a $10k Zu thread. | |
| How many brands use own drivers? YG mid/bass units. Tweeters use YG materials assembled by Scanspeak iirc | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? Have seen one US pair of Devore Gibbon Xs in 3 years...sold in like 48 hours. | |
| Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps I got around 3500 hours out of mine, but replacement was noticeably better (purchased from Kevin Deal). | |
| ***Going Insane***End Game Speakers***Harbeth Verity or Living Voice*** I've tried Quad ii monos on my Devore Gibbon X in a smedium room and it wasn't enough juice.You need to be >95dbs like the Orangutan or others mentioned |
