| Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux Duke,The GamuT Company is out of business, or that model is no longer in production?Larry | |
| Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux One other thing that bears mentioning regarging this review. I had posted that the best sounding speaker I had ever heard was the Von Schweikert VR-11; that answer was a moment in time, excitement based, emotionally charged, and partially an alleg... | |
| Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux There is a wine company, the name of which escapes me at this moment, which dates back to 1100 A.D. The company still operates under the same name, but I don't know if it is owned by family or not. But, damn, almost a thousand years. That's older ... | |
| Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux Holt,I played in a thousand bands, and never, ever memorized that spelling. How's that for dumb. | |
| Most forgiving speakers? But seriously folks...I might recomend a good speaker, and an outboard equalizer.Then carefully preset the eq so that you have the balance you want, but can still enjoy the speakers the rest of the time, with good recordings.I think if you buy a s... | |
| Most forgiving speakers? Obviously it can't be a female speaker. | |
| Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux Duke,(I hope)Thanks, I notice all the spectrum, but am particularly attuned to HF hash, and phasey sound.The part(next phase of this windy review) I didn't mention was the bass, which is, already the 'cleanest' I have heard, plus it doesn't stop t... | |
| Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux Highway,Yeah, they are LARGE, hence my "honey the coffins are here" section, yet as I think about it; the more appropriate heading would have been, "honey did we order a drive in theater screen?" The only thing that keeps me married, is three daug... | |
| Dynamic versus Electrostatic Part Deux Seadogs1Short answer for an excellent question.More dynamic than the Audiostatics, and much less directional, due to their design, Smoother than the VMPS in terms of overall presentation, and MUCH more open than the Wisdom's.Sorry for the brevity,... | |
| First Sound compared to Supratek, VAC, or Audio No Another fan here of both First Sound and VAC. Kevin and Emmanuel are great guys. The preamp is a tuning device for the system as much as many of the pieces you buy are.84 is a friend of mine, who was going direct with the Berning, amp. He inserted... | |
| Are Magnepan MG-IIIa speakers problematic? Surf,Check the ribbons for visual clues of misshaping. This would be due to thermal build up. That would mean, since the speakers ribbons had an expressed finite lifespan, that they may need replacing.If they sound good, and have no visual damage,... | |
| Perreaux 350P I think that Hi Fi Farms may be pushing a product they sell here, since they don't sell Halcro, and ARE distributors for Perreaux.It would be, to me, as if someone preferred a new Ford Focus to a new Infiniti g35 Coupe.Perreaux is good gear, but I... | |
| Magnepan MMG's just arrived I used to sell Maggies.Jim Whiney told me, that if I didn't play the (back then) SMGa's for everyone who came into my store, that I was making the biggest mistake I would ever make in audio.He was right.I remember sitting up late at night, with th... | |
| Time Phase/Coherence-Vandy 5A vs. SL M-1 Odd, this is almost the same question on E'stats versus dynamics, but without Sean here to talk about himself. (So, now that I have you, let's talk about me, HA) Just a background here.)Ok, I worked for Jim THIEL as Vice President of Sales for som... | |
| Are Magnepan MG-IIIa speakers problematic? I was a Maggie dealer for 11 years, and sold several pairs of III's. They were NEVER problematic to me.They are large, and with enough heat build up, you can misshape the ribbon tweeter.Plus the resistor, allows for audible phase shift, (to me), a... |
