| Good, Affordable Horns? Jax2,HAving lived with Carver tube simulation technology for many years alongside the solid state, I'd say that it effectively "takes the edge off" the sound, or smooths it out dynamically perhaps as tubes might. It would probably help with horns,... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Seriously, the appeal of a horn loaded speaker to me are those things that make them distinct and unique, ie the design and nature of the midrange. I don't necessarily need a pair of horns that best my Ohms or other speakers, as long as they do no... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? The Ohms are a great value. They do tend to take somewhat of a bashing on this site though. Many purists who know the history of this line can't get over the fact the current CLS drivers used aren't as sexy as the older, problematic Walsh drivers ... | |
| Good, Affordable Horns? Thanks for the feedback so far.Touche' on the bored comment. Sometimes I like to look at new options just because I can.....I guess I'm just always looking to try (or hear) something different. I still don't know if there is a single speaker that ... | |
| Is it Safe/ok to Plug Amplifier into Processor In general, I would say it is not a good idea to plug a power amp into a pre-amp or processor as a power source. Better to plug everything separately into a device designed to provide good clean power to other devices, in particular to a power amp... | |
| Triangle Speaker owners I'm now running my Titus 202s with a Musical Fidelity A3CR. Very nice. I also use them with a vintage NAD 7020 receiver for 2 channel A/V. I like this combo for video but not so much for audio. The old NAD has a lot of bang for its size but does n... | |
| What is the ideal weight/mass for a turntable? My observation having seen and heard many tables over the years is that heavier tables are better in general. But there is no single ideals weight/mass for a table....its a moot question. Also, I would not advise going after the biggest and heavie... | |
| Internet radio stations that sound really good There are many in various genres that sound very good even on a very good audio system, with a wireless Roku Soundbridge hookup. It offers an almost never-ending combination of variety and sound quality...and still growing.The Radio Roku web site ... | |
| Replacing speaker grill cloth questions???? First, do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around.....I don't know. Just do it so it looks neat in the end.Use loosely woven material for sonic transparency that can stretch easily as needed. | |
| Recommend a forward speaker I've heard Focal Profile series speakers driven by a Krell integrated at a local Tweeter store. These sounded very forward and I did like the sound very much. | |
| Recommend a forward speaker For flexibility, Ohm Walsh 5 speakers have a three way close/medium/far "perspective" adjustment on them for the midrange that enables you to adjust the perspective accordingly. I prefer a more recessed sound stage with the speakers optimally 3-4 ... | |
| Anybody hear Murano ICE amps? Kijanki,Can you describe some of the differences you may have heard? Are they subtle or clearly distinct? Do they share anything in common?I'm very interested in understanding the major differences in sound out there today with this design. Have y... | |
| Anybody hear Murano ICE amps? ICEPower amp circuits are an integrated component from B&O for OEM amp vendors. THis is a pretty earth-shattering and radical departure from the past in the way that electronic amplifier components are built and distributed by suppliers.Given ... | |
| Mercury Living Presence As a avid audio/music fan, perhaps even audiophile, I'm increasingly becoming aware that despite the inherent dynamic range advantages of digital recording, compression is becoming more and more the norm with modern recordings due to mass marketin... | |
| Mercury Living Presence Mrmitchnot sure I know what series/line you are referring to exactly by "shaded and WHite Dogs".Can you elaborate?Thanks. |
