| Speaker choice advise requested... I like the Tannoys a lot. | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? how about teleportation tweaks? That's not even anecdotal unless one considers the seller saying it works enough to qualify. | |
| I heard the $4000 Focal Utopia Headphones yesterday Is Berylium hazardous? More so than stuff in other headphones? If I was going to spend a lot of time listening only to headphones I would consider spending 4K if seems worth it. My audition was short but listening to some well recorded familiar tr... | |
| Think twice before concluding some thing sounds better I think there is a limit to what anyone can hear in total and at any instant we focus on or hear certain things more than others. Then our focus changes over time and we hear what’s there differently with a different focus. Even when nothing at al... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Actually ports in ported speakers are perfect examples of why low impedance is harder to drive. Impedance at port frequencies is always low. Check any ported speaker impedance curve and see. After all the port itself has little or no physic... | |
| Which songs or musical standards have haunted you? Sacrifice by Elton John totally haunting. | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers Ports in ported designs are always a major factor it seems. | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers It’s all about the bass, about the bass,. Not the... well it’s also about size and cost actually. The reality is low power tube amp lovers have limited speaker choices at least if bass extension matters. Still good ones out there though if a low p... | |
| Why are low impedance speakers harder to drive than high impedance speakers I think the trend towards speakers with lower impedance corresponds to the trend for speakers to be smaller yet more full range to fit into people’s lifestyle. Also as we know from experience the best sounding gear is not always the ones that meas... | |
| Speaker choice advise requested... I think it would come down mostly to personal preference and budget. Form and fit of each is quite different. | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? peter part of the value of the switches for me is I can place the speakers in a location that provides cleanest soundstage and imaging and then use teh controls to adjust the tonality without having to move them again. The same location rarely wor... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? I have not looked at the innards of my Walsh F5 Series 3 speakers since they arrived. Cab came in separate box from driver (which connected via a single connector and mounts using 4 wing nuts that I do tighten on occasion) and separate box for the... | |
| Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? peter if you have a way of posting some pictures I would love to see those. You could start a virtual system here just for this. | |
| Class D Technology I think Grannyring is right. Even the fairly modest Bel Canto c5i digital integrated amp is evidence of the excellence that can be achieved with newer digital technologies integrated and done well and that it need not cost a fortune. It is a true ... | |
| Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier? Not me. |
