| New Thiel Speakers - Post Jim Thiel Era Lots of promises are made by new owners of companies. History shows that in reality the old is almost always forgotten quickly by new owners and new designers. The old almost becomes the enemy of new designers and management after a while, as they... | |
| Tannoy Kensington SE vs Magnepan 20.7 You made a great choice. You will feel what the Tannoys are all about: music, listening to and soaking in the music. | |
| Tweeter type and brightness Many metal tweeters are harsh and bright...one particular major speaker manufacturer has been an example for years. But, some metal tweeters have their resonances very well controlled, the Revel Salons being a great example: smooth, sweet, low dis... | |
| Do not buy any Sonus Faber used Pathetic use of the fear factor. It's simple as an importer: No warranty work on a grey market piece. But sell parts and service as necessary, make a good profit on that, and don't hurt the reputations of the product, or your company, by refusing ... | |
| Front Ported v. Rear Ported Speakers There are too many design issues making major contributions to the quality of sound, or lack thereof, to fixate on the port position and gain any insight of how the speaker will sound. Listen to music on the speaker, don't prejudge it by one aspec... | |
| The Tannoy Speaker Line - worth a serious look ? More music comes out of a good Tannoy than almost any "audiophile" brand. Take a look at how long (often measured in decades) home music lovers keep them, and how many studios still stick with them. You have to listen to a few different models, ho... | |
| Vandersteen Supreme Support Vandersteen is real, with a history to show that he will be there to help with problems or parts. It's so unfortunate that few people seem to highly value these traits when purchasing audio equipment. | |
| Are Rodgers as good as advertise?? Almost nothing in the world is as good as advertised. That being said, the Rodgers are nice, better than many speakers built today, but hardly state of the art, even among speakers with very limited bass. | |
| Magnepan Ribbons and Hearing Loss That's actually pretty good hearing from a test of that type. There is no doubt you would hear the effects from that tweeter. | |
| Used turntable market My worst luck for used components have been turntables, by far. | |
| Random Static Hits It's static build-up from 2 likely sources: 1. Belt running on platter builds up static. 2. Lifting the record off the platter builds up static. You can see that as you play more records both factors are increasing.Get a Zerostat gun. They work. S... | |
| Sutherland 20/20 v Manley Chinook I would pick almost any of those over the Sutherland, which is lacking in dynamics and attack. | |
| Tannoy Speakers & Bi-wiring Pani, what wire are you using to bi-wire the Tannoys? | |
| Tannoy Speakers & Bi-wiring Bi-wiring helps them. All the typical reasons given for bi-wiring miss the technical reality, but there are clear improvements for clear reasons, and the Tannoys respond.Which Atmas and how is the bass? | |
| True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good? I did not stick to the OP well, in comparing the Divas to only those you listed. I would pick the Divas. The Divas have more "substance" (not talking about tonality, talking about density of sound) than the Soundlabs, and the dynamics you list are... |
