| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you Update on the Magico speakers, the Model 2 and Model 3, which retail for $18k and $27K respectively.They are both excellent speakers. The 2, to my ear sounds a bit 'hooded' in the midrange, in that the harmonic structure sounds truncated or not as... | |
| Driving MBL 121: Accuphase or Gryphon The original question of the Gryphon amp--the Gryphon is not, 'razor sharp', OR I'm not completely understanding your interpretation. The Gryphon is VERY smooth and neutral, a bit on the 'warm side', with terrific reserve power, doubling to almost... | |
| LSA speakers? Coongrats??? Is that a word?Larry | |
| Top Ten Speakers of All Time? accetturos@qwest.netYES!The IMF's were so beautifully voiced...when I voiced my LSA1 and LSA2's (Standard, Signature and Statements) those are the speakers that I had in mind. Of course, the goal is 'live music', but realistically, we've all been ... | |
| Your ONE all time favorite love song? Any time someone mentions Karen's voice, I'm agreeing!God that girl, for my taste, had the most hauntingly beautiful voice ever given to anyone.On the man's side Nat 'King' Cole had the best male voice. Those two, I could listen to forever.As to t... | |
| What is your favorite Chick Corea CD/Album? Hey Bobgates,Amen on the Musicmagic--I'll bet I listened to that album a million times!That particular era was very rich indeed for Chick and the group. Though, I just saw him on a cable channel--recently (hard to say) recorded in a really beautif... | |
| Review: LSA1 Statement Paulsax,Thanks for your well thought out comments on my response to the 'review' submitted on the LSA1 Statements.When I answer a normal review, I'm always careful to remember that everyone hears differently, and more important, many people like d... | |
| Where does your user name come from? Initials plus state abbreviation. Larry | |
| Best female vocals on CD All good choices Craig...though of these Ella is my favorite, followed by Sassy Sarah. A newer one to look into is Melody Gardot, I've mentioned her on A'Gon before...let us know what you think.Larry | |
| LSA speakers? Rebbi,Remember, DONT make any evals when they're new out of the box. They might 'sound' ok for a couple of hours then its downhill for several hours...BAD. So just let them break in for about 100 to 150 hours.But don't even think you've heard them... | |
| Gryphon Antileon Signature technical problems At LSA, we quickly learned that the 'inexpensive part' is the Achilles Heel for all manner of problems.When you open an amp, and I'm talking $30K per pair amps, you'll see an alarming number in some, not all, of ultra cheap op amps and other items... | |
| NAD vs. Cambridge Audio Having heard both--but not with the various speakers in question that everyone who has auditioned may have employed, I would say that the anwser is a bit complex.The NAD is 'punchier' a trademark of that piece--but,(to my ear) a tad bit more grain... | |
| Review: LSA1 Statement That's a really great question Roxy54.While everything in audio is fair game in terms of design and copying of designs unless one spends a fortune to patent their work we tried to make it more difficult to do so. If we were to give Carte Blanche b... | |
| LSA speakers? Rebbi,The speaker was never meant to be single wired--it is dramatically better bi wired. Single is for convenience only.Ask John Tucker at LSA, he has a wire that is the 'best I've heard personally' (within any 'reasonably priced' cable).Brian ca... | |
| Review: LSA1 Statement To address one final point of this 'review, submitted by someone who joined this site the day the review was written, always a red flag.The speakers LSA1 are indeed made in China, that should not be a shock--after all many products because of inex... |
