| Is the B&W Signature 805 less harsh than the N805? I know, Gmood1, pretty slick of you.I can hear the Kevlar Honk, first(probably not first, but at least most publicly) by John Atkinson of Stereophile. When I owned the CS5i and Jim Thiel used the Kevlar for a midrange driver, it was used across a ... | |
| Is the B&W Signature 805 less harsh than the N805? The B&W's (I am about to start an argument here) do sound harsh and annoying to my ear.They have the omnipresent Kevlar Honk. The transition from the Kevlar driver, which has a very identifiable sound, to the tweeter, is very hashy, and to me ... | |

| Audio Physic Virgo III compared to the SF Cremona The Virgo III is a very clean clean speaker. It has a remarkable imaging capability. It is, for want of a better description, some of the best that Germany has to offer. I spent many evenings in a friend's home, listening to his pair. They are tru... | |

| Average Price Spent for Speakers To further consider this question, what impact does the cosmetic component play in this choice?Is a small black box like the b&w more or less acceptable to the wife (gender assumption there, sorry) as the, say dark red cherry cabinets they put... | |
| Krell Kav 300il or Arcam FMJ A32 I have owned the Arcam and the Krell. Subjectively the Arcam makes music flow, whereas the Krell makes "sound".I am sure the Krell lovers will kill this comment, but for my taste it was no contest really. Arcam is one of those small companies that... | |
| Gryphon gets no press, but is great. Brooks,I don't know if you are showing us why you couldn't find them by misspelling, or if you still are confused. Either way I should tell you that the name is Gryphon.Best,LarryPS. I think that the case of the 2100 versus the 2200 is overstated.... | |
| Magnepan20.1 And Soundlab A-1 Duke,You are overly kind (as usual); the Sound Labs are IMHO superior to the Magnepans in almost every area...low level resolution, harmonic textures, space within space. That overall sense of realism. As far as bass, I will take textures and and ... | |
| Best speaker cable and interconnect for Thiel 7.2? When I was Dirctor of Sales for THIEL, we used Kimber Kable for a period of time; the (new at that time) Select Series which replaced the Black Pearl.
