| Why nobody uses McIntosh with Vandersteen? Theo,Just a guess--the Vandersteens have a very pleasant, forgiving sound (not really my words but those of many who I've attended shows with), and MAC has the same sort of sound. So the thinking might be that together they would not be revealing ... | |
| Best Christmas Album Carpenters Christmas album 1978. Classic, and completely orginal orchestrations (all,if I remember correctly) by Richard Carpenter.Larry | |
| B&K 507 If memory serves, B&K still answers their phone with a live human being instead of a recording device which is terrific. Plus they have in house people to answer just this kind of question.Good luck,Larry | |
| most articulate speaker Given the thin film of the Electrostatics, used as a driver, control is 'easier' to achieve generally speaking. Certainly larger and larger magnets and stiffer cone materials all help in producing conventional loudspeakers. But imho, the Sound Lab... | |
| heard Melody Gardot? jdoris and stewie,What great responses!! It's so much fun to engage intelligent people who can agree to disagree, especially when the topics are ALMOST completely subjective.It's sorta like walking into a room, being single, looking for girls, YOU... | |
| heard Melody Gardot? I realize that musical tastes in voice are extremely personal--all subjective--almost--but anyone who's heard "Our Love Is Easy" and isn't convinced that this woman is SPECIAL, is not listening closely. The lyrics, the phrasing, everything--her pe... | |
| spakers for various genres The reason you can't find too many dealers carrying multiple lines is; nobody supports local dealers. Brick and mortar is as dead as Kelsey's Nuts. The dealers who put their lives on the line, their homes their families futures, were done in by th... | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Melody Gardot--really good music, and good lush recording--perhaps a little too buttery for some, but I like that lush sound of an orchestra. Plus, her voice is (to my taste) just about as sexy as one could ask for. Plus she has an interesting sto... | |
| Thiel CS7.2 vs Revel Salon2 IMHO,The CS5 trumps the CS7 easily. The image density is better, the clarity about the same.If one could simply go in to the cross over and replace the air core inductors with really high quality ones for the 5's they might very well be one of the... | |
| how long can you leave a CDP on 'pause'? Wow,This is a tough crowd. The guy asks a completely reasonable question--as is usually the case, he 'thinks' he knows the answer and is completely up front, and everybody jumps him.I wondered this for a while myself. My recommendation is to just ... | |
| Review: LSA1 Statement "He's fine with it. He doesn't like my favorite cabernet, and I don't hold that against him either! :)"The only difference here being, that you didn't invest $12,900. in the cabernet, then have him coming into your house as a guest, and write an a... | |
| Thiel CS3.7 vs WP8? James63,In that same S'phile review he states that 'while some of the THIEL's sounded bright, these DO NOT'--that the blend of the coaxial driver/midrange is perfect giving them the smoothest sound of any THIEL, or words to that effect.Larry | |
| In search of the right SS integrated amp IMHO,For many years, the Rowland has offered very detailed sound, but without that etched, annoyingly sterile sound that sometimes accompanies that description in some amps. Smooth, detailed, and while not as musical, ( but do not assume I am impl... | |
| Review: LSA1 Statement "Can you tell me where you purchased these LSA1 Statements?If you'll post the information on line, I'll see to it that they send you a replacement pair which are sufficiently broken in--since the flaws in evidence here are not part of the original... | |
| Review: LSA1 Statement Carl,Thank you for the additional information. My only guess is that, seconding Artmaltman, the speakers are in the 'break in' stage.One reason I mention this, is that during my development of them, I compared the standard version of the LSA1 to t... |
