| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently they easily fill my room ;) The soundstage is as wide and tall as appropriate for the music. I once had some Audiostatic electrostatics and the soundstage was TOO tall - singers were like 10' tall, heheh... | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently I have mine out about 6 feet BUT since they have an adjustable 11 band bass eq and level/Q controls you can adjust for that pretty easy - soundstaging and imaging is better placed farther from the wall. They are rated at 87db but remember they hav... | |
| Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently How about Vandersteen 5A's? Builtin sub amp - easy speaker to drive and fills my room perfectly - 23x15x14 with open back. | |
| Any Aesthetix Calypso VS Cary SLP-05 comparison? Dopogue, what don't you like about the remote? | |
| Any Aesthetix Calypso VS Cary SLP-05 comparison? thanks for the infos so far ;) I did get info from Glenn at Aesthetix about the upgrade. I also found out that GNSC is doing an upgrade for $2K. My Calypso is dead quiet - never had a problem with noise ;) I may just try the Cary - it would be the... | |
| Any Aesthetix Calypso VS Cary SLP-05 comparison? thanks for the reply and I'll check out the other options. I'm VERY happy with my system now but you know - audionervosa ;) I do need balanced ins/outs and definitely want a remote and of course tubes ;) | |
| Aesthetix Calypso Power Cord I us a Fusion Audio Enchanter - it was a VERY nice and large improvement over other cables I had used (Blacksand, Sororan etc..) - it almost made as much of an improvement as the Mullard 10M 12ax7's. | |
| Vandersteen 5A biwire shotgun absolutely required? all good points, and thanks for the comments. The reason I ask is because Synergistic Research states this:"Shotgun Bi-Wire vs. TESLA IFT Bi-Wire:One option that does not take advantage of IFT Bi-Wire is a shotgun termination of two parallel speak... | |
| Vandersteen 5A biwire shotgun absolutely required? Davemitchell: I have #2. I think I'll just stay with what I have and save some money. Experimenting always costs me $$ and usually the result isn't worth it ;)ThanksTony | |
| Supratek Malbec. Any user opinions? I have the Supratek Burgundy monos. They are a 4 chassis design that Mick produced between 2003-2005. He no longer makes them due to the time required to build. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have about them. The Burgundy's are 100wpc. B... | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? probably my Supratek Burgundy amps - 4 chassis - 100wpc 6c33 output tubes. Running in balanced mode I can bypass the 1st gain stage(6922) - transparency is amazing ;) | |
| Power Cord Revelation I use a Fusion Audio enchanter on my Aesthetixs linestage - absolutely amazing difference for the better. They do take a bit of time to smooth out though... Eric Love(Fusion Audio) is great to work with! ;)Tony D. | |
| Analysis Plus Oval 9 & Vandersteen 3As I'm using the Synergistic Research Tesla Accelerators on my 5A's. They aren't a true biwire as Richard recommends but they work excellently with the 5A's IMO. SR doesn't seem to think a true external biwire is necessary with their wire. YMMV ;)Tony | |
| How many have heard the Beveridge Electrostatics? I remember hearing the 2's in high end shop in Jacksonville, FL - "Audio Etc..." It was 1984 or so. The 2's were driven by Audio Research amps and sounded absolutely fantastic. I couldn't afford them and ended up buying some Acoustat 1+1's. Someon... | |
| Vandersteen 5A barrier strip question thanks! |
