| DIY - Two kits using similar tweeter to Tekton Thanks much Erik. The pair I'm looking at have the 'upgraded crossover' - (I assume Madisound's definition) although I'm not sure exactly what parts that might mean. The review I read (audioexpress?) focused more on the 2.5 way floorstander. Did... | |
| DIY - Two kits using similar tweeter to Tekton Hello Erik,I'm considering the Ara speaker (with the beryllium tweeter) for a 2nd system. I am not a big fan of B&W or Dynaudio house sound (haven't heard the GoldenEar). I would be interested to hear more details about your thoughts on the Ar... | |
| Speaker alternatives Not sure where you are located, but you should try to go to an audio show like Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Colorado, or Axpona coming up next month in Chicago, and identify speakers that really knock you out. Keeping in mind 1) the room you're g... | |
| re capping Thanks teo. Yeah, they sound very good already; just wondering out loud mostly. :) Only one of the surrounds really needed addressing with the refoam. I just wanted to do all four all at once, since the foam felt more dry than supple on all of them. | |
| re capping I realize most of the discussion here has been regarding amplifier caps. Has anyone recapped or otherwise modded the crossover in the older Wilson Audio speakers? I'm having the woofers refoamed in a pair of 5.1s, and wondered since the drivers w... | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Thanks jon2020 for the clarification. The demo I heard was back and forth, through the same dac (Ayre I believe)Regards | |
| MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote! Only heard MQA/non MQA a/b demoed one time. Constellation electronics driving Magico speakers. To my ears, there was a slight preference for the MQA. JMO | |
| Speaker Suggestions for 300b SET Amp +1 Coincident+1 Reference 3AGR Research Super V - The Super-V has 97db sensitivity and is an easy 8 ohm load. They can be driven easily with even the lowest wattage amplifiers because it only has to drive the upper coaxial driver. The two 12" SERV... | |
| Seeking Speaker Recommendations I have PMC PB1i.I would look for a pair of OB1s.Another option is something like a GR Research Super V. A pair or two for sale over on audiocircle. Finally, there's a pair of Von Schweikert VR5 HSE as well for around $3K. | |
| Power Cord Sounds like the Sablon is a good match for your application. Nice! | |
| Swapping Wilson Watt Puppy 6’s for open baffle Pure Audio Project Trio15 Voxative's Maybe DIY some Townshend Podiums with these https://www.ebay.com/itm/292100530301 , and a wood cutting board(s) or a piece of floor tile. ;-). The Townshend research seems to suggest that loudspeaker "suspension" is more effective than either coup... | |
| How can Wilson Audio speakers sound that good if they are using OEM drivers? I think you make a mistake by saying Wilsons use OEM drivers. Sure, they are sourced by OEM companies, but they are also built to very detailed manufacture's specifications. It's like saying "how can Honda's Formula 1 race cars be all that great ... | |
| Swapping Wilson Watt Puppy 6’s for open baffle Pure Audio Project Trio15 Voxative's Especially if you are in the UK, may want to see about a demo of these: http://www.townshendaudio.com/hi-fi-home-cinema-equipment-vibration-isolation/hi-fi-home-cinema-vibr... | |
| Swapping Wilson Watt Puppy 6’s for open baffle Pure Audio Project Trio15 Voxative's From your description, it sounds like the only real issue you have with the Wilsons is occasional overpowering bass (as a result of your floor or your room). 1. I would try some of methods to couple or de-couple the speakers to/from your floor. Th... | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp Perhaps a bit off topic, but can anyone detail whether there are any real issues with buying a Chinese made amp (Line Magnetic, Cayin, etc.) - which were build for 220v ? Can you just purchase a 220/110v converter [box] and be done? Or is it mor... |
