| How to meaningfully audition speakers?? The truth! Finally! Lots of people looking for that. Bring it on..... :^) | |
| Calling all Horn lovers Also note that good full range hi efficiency horn systems will tend to be large and often quite expensive. But if you have the room to set them up well and the patience needed to get things integrated and set up just right, they are one of the ult... | |
| Calling all Horn lovers Playing music through very high efficiency horns is the musical equivalent of looking through a microscope. Every minute detail will be more apparent, be it the music, noise, whatever. So lots of tweaks both large and small in scope may be needed ... | |
| Emerald Physics CS2.3 MkII Where's all the post RMAF buzz this year on Agon? I know the site is posting on teh show in its new hub section, but not seeing much discussed here in the forums this year compared to recent years. Am I missing out by spending time here rather tha... | |
| Advice for new Integrated amp please. Rogue SPhinx would be a nice fit into my second system if needed someday. By the time I need to change there, I'm expecting affordable tube/Class D integrateds to be even better and more common than today.Personally, I would also love to build a s... | |
| Volume seems too low Not unusual and may actually be a good omen to have to turn the volume way up before things actually "sound" loud.What matters is can volume be turned up enough to satisfy and do dynamics continue to expand as well as the volume goes up. If dynami... | |
| Viagra for Your Ears? I believe it's "earection".Tost, copyright that, ASAP!!!!!! | |
| KEF LS 50 I think I read somewhere that the ls50s are based on older nearfield monitor designs and that some of teh best listening results have been reported from those listening in a more near field type setup. My experience with the ls50s was pretty consi... | |

| Two Subs? I've always found room modes to be an issue with a single sub, ie very noticeable by ear variations in bass levels at different room locations. Also I find that it is possible to address to my satisfaction as long as listening position stays the s... | |
| Advice for new Integrated amp please. I've heard the GE Tritons and Aons. Tritons were not set up well so I did not get a good sense of their potential. Aons were and there was a lot to like. THe folded ribbon delivered what I would describe as a more "polite" top end than other speak... | |
| Most achingly-beautiful music Ebm, not "All the Young DUDES"?Sorry , couldn't resist that one. :^)Mickey and Uriah Heep? Really? Oy-vey!Did they do "Return TO Fantasy"? I love that tune! | |
| Advice for new Integrated amp please. Tube hybrid could be interesting. Rogue seems big into that these days as well. Have not heard, but would expect very good results in general. I do run separate ARC tube pre-amp + Bel Canto Class D amp. BEst of both worlds indeed in many cases. Ve... | |
| Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power Polls are showing 70% + of people want everyone in congress tossed out these days, except their own congressperson, 40% still like them. Same true about their lawyers. Prime candidates for 10K power conditioners as well, maybe? :^) | |
| Advice for new Integrated amp please. I saw my local dealer had his demo Rogue Cronus Magnum up for sale here just a few days ago. I've heard it run Magnepan mmgs with Rel sub there...very nice! I recall the Tritons which I have also heard may be similarly tube friendly as well. Havin... |
