| Making active speakers with 4 Gallo A'Divas @Timlub: Technically, I don't need one, as I could run two sets of them full-range, in tandem...which I will try as well. I felt that splitting the signal, and letting them each produce a part of the full signal would be easier on each one, and th... | |
| Making active speakers with 4 Gallo A'Divas My main thought was that its tough for a single 3" driver to produce everything from 100hz to 22khz. So if I split the signal between two of them, the load on each speaker should be much less taxing, and thus much more efficient at producing music... | |
| Gallo Strada vs Paradigm Signature S1 Thanks so much...your input is hugely appreciated. | |
| Gallo Strada vs Paradigm Signature S1 @Bbchem, thanks for the input. I have a pair of A'Divas I use on my desktop with a sub, and even a humble speaker like this one has the most amazing detail and imaging I've heard. My only concern with the Gallo speakers is the thin midbass between... | |
| Silver wiring for interconnects Hey Clabe,I really never thought it would make a difference in sound quality. My friend convinced me to try it, and it was shocking how much of a difference the silver made. So much smoother...the copper seemed to veil the sound to me. Let us know... | |
| Silver wiring for interconnects I can't speak to DIY interconnects (IC), but I will tell you that I tried the Audioquest King Cobra IC, which are silver...and that is all I run now. I also did an A/B comparison with the PS Audio Premier Power Cable (silver), and the PS Audio AC1... | |
| What speaker for being close to rear wall? While I agree in theory that non-ported work well close to a wall...it doesn't always work in practice. I was using Mirage OMD-5s at my desk, which are acoustically sealed, and they don't sound good unless away from the walls. Way too much bass re... | |
| What speaker for being close to rear wall? Anthony Gallo Stradas are designed to be within a foot of the wall. I use the A'divas in my office as they are 6" off the wall, and everything else sounded too boomy. | |
| Would you pay to listen? lol...I'm glad my poking fun at the eccentricities of the audiophile community wasn't taken as insulting. If you can't laugh at yourself...you are taking life too seriously. :-)I absolutely love music in all it's forms, and am always up for a new ... | |
| Thinking of going 2-CH from HT....Tube ? Hey man, I have a Marantz SR7001, and I bought a Grant Fidelity Tube Buffer to warm up the sound before it hits the Marantz. I think it sounds amazing, adds warmth, and leaves bass control tight. Just another option for ya without investing too mu... | |
| Would you pay to listen? I would never rent a Ferrari for a day, unless I could be assured that the seats were molded to my exact body, the tires had just a few thousand miles on them and were properly warmed, the suspension was setup for my exact driving tastes, the inta... | |
| Wyred 4 sound has great customer service Thanks for this information. I'm currently researching monoblocks, and they are at the top of my list. So good to hear they stand behind their products. | |
| Best speakers for about $3500 I'm gonna second @Branislav on the Mirage OMD-28s. I have them, and they are truly amazing speakers. They won't give you the laser focus of some speakers, but they absolutely disappear, and just let the music flow. If you have the room to have the... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Easy...MBL 101 Extreme. Unreal. Then again, for a quarter of a million dollars, they should be. Second place...Magnepan 20's or B&W Nautilus. | |
| The Best Surround "Ceiling" speaker out there? I have some Mirage in-ceiling speakers that extend out of the ceiling to give the omni-directional sound dispertion, which I love in surround mode. If you want a more direct speaker, maybe the Gallo A'divas or Micros. They both mount in the ceilin... |
