| Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women? paper,Congrats. That's a very well thought out assessment of how these things work in the real world! | |
| Anyone try stuffing their ports? Ckoffend,Can you provide some guidelines regarding extending some of the straws relative to others and what effect on the sound to expect as more straws are extended?I'm basically interested in guidelines for how to go about systematically tweakin... | |
| Bel Canto Ref 1000MK2 or Wyred SX1000MK2 So I wonder has anyone who owned BC ref1000mkII monoblocks actually heard and switched to similar Wyred or other less expensive Icepower amps?If so, also I'd be interested in knowing the speakers and pre-amp used as well.Thanks in advance. | |
| Anyone try stuffing their ports? "f a speaker was designed to operate with a port, how can it be correct to plug the port, thereby making it a virtually sealed box? "Plugging the port is an extreme case.The effective approach is to restrict the air flow through the port to variou... | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present "i went down in size and bought Merlin TSM-mme"Good small monitors are a reasonable option to Maggies for many IMHO.Not exactly the same in terms of the nature of the sound, but a lot of the same strengths in a slightly different flavor.Good small... | |
| Anyone try stuffing their ports? I had B&W P6s with foam port plug that I used to good effect.I loosely obstruct the ports of my Dynaudio Contour 1.3mkiis and OHM 100S3 Super Walsh 2s in my wife's sunroom, which is 12X12 with cathedral ceilings in that the speakers are relati... | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present 4est,No offense.People hear what they hear and think what they think.Thanks for clarifying. | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present "I can see how someone could switch from mag to Ohms, similar ambient information, but both are veiled IMO."4est, please elaborate a bit regarding how the OHMs are veiled in your estimation and which OHMs specifically you have heard that led to th... | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present FWIW, the Maggie mg1c's I bought back in the 80's and ran for about 20 years came after a pair of original OHM Walsh 2s that I had acquired a few years prior. The Walsh 2s also stuck around for over 20 years until replaced by a new pair of Walsh 2... | |
| Magnepan owners : past / present Triangle Titus XS + sub (still own).Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkII (still own)OHM Walsh (still own).Also B&W P6 but those were a totally different breed sound wise from Magnepan.Interesting the German Physiks mentioned above and the OHM Walsh speak... | |
| Bel Canto vs Mcintosh Tough to compare.I've heard Totem Mani 2 powered by a current TOTL Mac SS amp. I can compare to BC ref1000mkII in my system running Dynaudio Contour 1.3 mkII.The Mac/Totem comb was very good, except I found it a bit too hot on the top end and thou... | |

| The Beatles Mono CD Box Set foster,of course, be careful about tweaking things to optimize any particular recording. all recordings are of course different and have their pluses and minuses. optimizing one that does not have the top end you are expecting could push others th... | |
| Speakers that excel at depth/layering/space mbl if you have a suitable room.dynaudio contour 1.3mkii in smaller rooms.also ohm walsh properly matched to room.as you can tell, integration of speaker into room is key to get good imaging depth imho. | |
| Bel Canto Ref 1000MK2 or Wyred SX1000MK2 they both should do quite well.the bcs have a beefed up power supply that may offer more punch and clarity overall but for a premium. |
