| Dynaudio Focus 140 vs Totem Model 1 Signature Amended position on the Totem Model 1's and 50W amplifier.Not sure if this comes too late to help, but I happened to listen to the Model 1's today driven by the Music Hall Trio all-in-one system which claims 50W/channel. The combination sounded pr... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Rebbi,Have fun with your new speakers - hope you have "access" to listening to your new Totems off "axis" ;) | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Folks,I just got kicked out of my office for some unscheduled "repairs" (don't ask) and went to the "Tune" HiFi shop down First Avenue here in Seattle who just happens to carry Totems. I took the opportunity to audition the new Music Hall Trio all... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Jpaik, Thanks for the link. It looks like the Morrison speakers use more conventional drivers to achieve the same general effect as the Ohms. Interesting that he is rather fixated on the poor "quality" of most "stereo" recordings - have to wonder ... | |
| Rega Brio, Apollo, and R3? All good ideas. Here is a third twist:Music Hall Trio, Quad 21L-2 speakers (about $2300 new)The Music Hall Trio provides a quality CD player, integrated amp and AM/FM tuner in one box. It sounds nearly as good as the Music Hall separates suggested... | |
| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? OK. Mitch Mitchell. Check out his drumming on the live Hendrix recording from the Isle of Wight, or his work on "Cry of Love" and "Rainbow bridge", both co-produced by Mitchell and Eddie Kramer after Hendirx died (and now both available as part of... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman wrote:"I was wondering if you know whether the Ohms you heard were original (series 1 which first arrived in the early 80's), series 2, which I think started in the early-mid 90's through ~ 2005 or 2006, or series 3, which have only been av... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Mapman,Agreed. | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please I have heard the Ohms and they sound very different to me than the Arros. The Arros throw a coherent (perhaps even etched) sound field across a broad area, but instrument and voice placement are fairly precise within the sound stage. The Ohms on t... | |
| Ringo Starr or Charlie Watts??? Keith Moon | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please Quad 21L version 1 are wonderful speakers and great bargain for the money in terms of sound quality and construction details. I have not heard but have read that the version two is even better than the version one in terms of improved detail, neut... | |
| Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please If you are going to consider a jump up to the Silverline Prelude, then I heartily recommend the Totem Arro as a alternate slender floorstander in the same price category. The Arro is one of Totem's best sounding speakers, period. And it comes with... | |
| Best sounding CD player for under $500? The Oppo is a great bargain for a multipurpose player, but does not compete head to head with newer dedicated entry level HiFi red book players. You are paying for video and multichannel audio DACs and design compromises that dedicated players don... | |
| Is there a killer preamp for 1500? Are you ruling out a PrimaLuna ProLogue 3 new? | |
| Best Integrated Amp? Help... Dcstep,I hear you but watts usually cost about $25-$50 a piece in tube land, $10-$20 a piece in transistor land and $5-$10 each in switching amp land. For some perspective and sympathy with your point - the best I have ever heard the little B&... |
