| High power vs bi amp low power? I have not heard but on a budget for a good Quality higher pwoer Class D amp I would be inclined to try D-sonic or Class D audio or Wyred. Currently I been running Bel Canto ref1000m amps for several years and still could not be happier. They brin... | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you Most likely, the only way I think I might ever really need speakers costing that much is if I am looking for something full range to run them off a flea powered SET amp or something along that line. Or if my room were really really big, like an au... | |
| The missing piece "t is my belief and experience that most systems do not perform anywhere near potential because they have not been tweaked out properly."That may be true. BEfore tweaking though comes the choice of components to use together. Tweaking may help but... | |
| The missing piece Well I've been running various ohm speakers now since 1978 and ohm Walsh speakers since 1982 or so and don't foresee them going anywhere. Most other very good stuff I use is probably replaceable one way or another. The ohms are most unique. Nothin... | |
| Overshadowed by bandmates I've been admiring George Harrison's bass playing on "old brown shoe" of late. 🎸. In an interview he once said that was him going nuts on bass basically playing it like his guitar. Very cool. | |
| With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you If the ops still out there my recommendation above from 2010 has not changed. Boring...... 😉 | |
| New Tekton Pendragons On The Way Tim,Worth a try if you already have something. Can't hurt. My gut says that unless your floor is rock solid to start with, isolating the Tektons, which seem to use a good quality larger bass driver in a modest build cabinet at their price point, a... | |
| New Tekton Pendragons On The Way Call me crazy, but these days I tend to believe that with the right setup, a lot of way more modest speakers can sound like mbl or Magico. If done well. I'm finding isolating speakers from interacting with floor is a must, however one gets to that... | |
| New Tekton Pendragons On The Way I am a 3-D sound fanatic as well. But it's the SOTA mbl demo I heard a few years ago in a very well done custom showroom that drives me there. That and what I hear at live performances. I will never have any rooms like those to work with most like... | |
| How good REALLY is the Peachtree Grand Integrated? Anyone compared PEachtree Grand and Rogue Pharoah?I've heard the Pharoah and liked it a lot. I acquired a Bel Canto C5i recently for a very good price. I was considering Rogue Sphinx also and heard both Sphinx and Pharoah. I would consider Pharoah... | |
| Auralex ISO-Tone Turntable Isolation Platform Have not used this particular product but have used other Auralex products including similar Subdude under speakers and have a lot of confidence in this companies products in general both from a performance and value perspective.But if the Auralex... | |
| New Tekton Pendragons On The Way I have 12X12 cathedral ceiling sunroom (on second level) and 12X12 office directly below at foundation level.I've used diagonal setup in the office from time to time with good results. At foundation level, sound energy transferred to the floor is ... | |
| New Tekton Pendragons On The Way Timhru,The upward tilt of the Meadowlarks might be helping with soundstage and imaging by changing and delaying reflections somewhat, especially in a modest to smaller size room.The isoacoustics stands I use with my Triangle Titus monitors also pr... | |
| High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps It would be interesting to be able to actually audition and compare the various AN speaker models at the various price points.For me, what I find challenging is not what each model is so much as what are the difference in sound quality in that teh... | |
| New Tekton Pendragons On The Way Depending on room acoustics, placement and setup of speakers is critical to having the best results including sound stage depth.In general, speakers like the tektons that emit all sound via the front will likely sound better closer to front wall t... |
