| The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig? A long time friend who is a musician and avid music lover but has no special focus on sound quality that I have ever detected was over listening with me the other day and commented how lifelike things sounded and correctly recognized the type and ... | |
| Kef vented tweeter Yes I can hear a similarity with Focals I have heard. B&W Nautilus is pricey. What other tweeter designs address this particular issue I wonder? Any similar to KEF with concentric driver design? I like that for coherent sound as well especiall... | |
| Bel Canto Ref 1000? If you can use 500w/ch and speakers are not a horrible load to drive those are an affordable option. I would not use them with a tube preamp in that they use native icepower modules with only 10kohm input impedance as I recall. I have ref1000m... | |
| Very small room systems and synergy Personally as much as I like what they can do I would probably not be satisfied with ls50 without a sub for serious listening. They are small. With Ohm Walsh you just need the right size with a good high current Class D amp for your room and lis... | |
| adante Yeah these got a lot of initial hype then fizzled out fast. Never had a chance to hear them. KEF R3 came along and is very good! | |
| Very small room systems and synergy I have ls50s ( with sub) in one smaller room and larger (12") Ohm Walsh in the adjacent larger room running off same setup including Bel Canto ref1000m Class D amps and Audio Research tube pre-amp. Love them both but big difference in sound. The t... | |
| Anyone using/familiar with dnm precision products out of the UK? Yes I use all DNM ICs. Very affordable coherent and clean. Only thing is they are not shielded but has not been a problem. | |
| The best looking speakers Yes Jadis Eurythmie are stunning. KEF ls50s very awesome looking. Can't pick a favorite color. OHM Walsh are models of stunning spartan design. OHM Walsh are the only speakers my wife has never fussed about, even when in her sunroom. | |

| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... I have a geology background and have actually taught mineralogy and petrology (also paleontology) labs as a university teaching assistant in a past life. So I am not an expert but know something about minerals and their crystal structure. Applicat... | |
| Miracles in Audio, by luck, by good choices,by design or by tweaking... No idea how this works but very cool. A picture is worth a thousand words.I think you’ve scared off GK who seems to be mostly just bluster, comedy and insults when it comes to actually offering any evidence that he he is not just lazily about all ... | |
| Full Range Drivers and SET's, why is a classic combo? rober,Any experience with the current Heresy IIIs and SE tube amps? Are these different from the originals (Mk1s?) in regards to ability to run well off SE tube amps?Thanks. |
