| Best vintage Tannoy for rock? What Douger said.....they will crank it out on rock. | |
| Best vintage Tannoy for rock? You are wrong there....you can get huge (more so), powerful (more so), and beautiful (more so) with modern Tannoys....you need the right ones. I can see someone feeling the tulip waveguide is not as beautiful, but the traditional type new Tannoys ... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE ARC Ref 2 phono, Ref pre, Ref 150 amp. These are not such out of this world electronics that they are the reason for the magic......but the Basis Debut Vac and Basis Vector arm do help. | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE I know of nobody who has heard my system that would pick either of those speakers over the Wests. Yes, MMDV (my mileage DOES vary!).As far as the wife factor, it surprises me how huge an issue this can be. My wife loves music, she loves the sound ... | |
| Duelund CAST silver a $50,000 Upgrade? I wonder why many folks got burned out on high end audio due to feeling it was more about fads, fashion, huge profit margins, voodoo, snob appeal, and imagined differences between tweaks and mods.I don't know why that thought just popped into my h... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Aldavis, Kingdom Royal are certainly a very good speaker. But not quite as much my cup of tea as the Westminster. I like the mid-to-top area better on Westminster, the Kingdoms are not as natural to me. This is not due to the fact that they are ex... | |

| VPI 3D tonearm Halcro and Don, you are right on target. 3-D printing captures the imagination of non-technical folks, confusing a new process that has no practical advantages for production items with the false concept that the final product made from the proces... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE The Tannoys don't really have a "large driver" at all frequencies, though they look like single drivers all models are at least 2-way speakers, horn in the center which is not so obvious, woofer around the horn. As a horn they do have more control... | |
| Everest dd 66000 speakers Well, I own them, and many others, but I cannot say they are the single best. For me they are one of a small group of best as they have so many very positive traits. When I go hear direct live music away from any PA my brain spontaneously keeps ju... | |
| Everest dd 66000 speakers Nicely written Phusus.Most folks in high end audio listen to equipment to impress themselves with their equipment. Decades in the industry have shown me that must audio guys will spend huge amounts of time trying to educate themselves about equipm... | |
| Everest dd 66000 speakers I think they are great speakers. Like getting out of the restrained, restricted audiophile box of mostly sleepy speakers. Dynamic, very tonally correct relative to most audiophile speakers, a clear window into the recording, beyond that, into the ... | |
