| Looking for input on Legacy Audio speakers purchase. A bit of a contrarian position. I owned Legacy Signatures ’back in the day’.Looked great, and sounded good, but never could get them to sound just right. Tried many changes in preamps, amps, cables, etc. Represented all of the frequency bands, but... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Good advice steakster. I’ve settled on MIT Matrix 60 bi-wire speaker cables - that are a match made in heaven with the W/Ps. And although I like tube amplification, I would like to find some Mark Levinson monos as a possible next step. Hard to bel... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Do a little decision tree/chart analysis.1. Sound - most important - weighting 2X all of the below2. Budget - very important3. Looks (to me and others) - important4. Compatability/cost of upstream gear/cables - important5. Age - somewhat important... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Jeff,If you’ve found some WP8s at the $6K mark, that seems like a semi-no-brainer. Unless one is a significantly different color than the other. LOL Nothing better than getting the sound you want - at a really affordable price. Win-win. They will ... | |
| WILSON AUDIO.....BIG NAME, BIG PRICE........ARE THEY THAT GOOD? Sounds like if you were able to demo the Sasha DAW and really liked them, then that should be conclusive.. I’m sure you understand they do prefer/require nice upstream components and cabling. But if you liked the strengths and presentation, you sh... | |
| Are the new Ohm Walsh speakers Audiophile quality? No. The original Ohm Fs were enjoyable, given plenty of power. Owned a pair for 3 years.The Ohms for the last 20+ years sound muddy, diffuse, two-dimensional, and bland.LOW mid-fi at BEST. | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Interconnects: Music Metre Signature, Canto. Chimera Labs Advantage. Stealth Cross Wrapped Silver. Audiodyne Multipath. Harmonic Tech Truth-Link. MIT Matrix HD38. | |
| I think some cables are just a little too expensive. One thing most audio people fail to realize or value is that cables should maximize or almost ’perfect’ - all of the components in a system. One analogy is that non-audio people just don’t "get it" (the beauty and satisfaction most of us enjoy wit... | |
| High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz Thanks for info/updates guys.I’m using MIT interconnect and speaker cable.But I have a couple of HFC MC.05s at the outlets/walls to nice effect. Tried Cerious and a few other digital cables (just meh in my system). I am currently using Silnote R2S... | |

| Floorstanding speakers - $2-3K Sounds good Mr. Salami. :)I recently bought a closeout pair of EP 4.4s with neo tweeter(?) and asked Danny Richie to design a better crossover and upgrade the crossover (parts) too. I just need to block out a day to go pick them up or have him shi... | |
