| Appearance of Totem Forest How about just trying some different stains to lighten and/or darken the finish as needed? This seems like it should be a relatively easy, or at least not impossible, fix. As always, I am completely open to the possibility that I am dead wrong. | |
| Is there a modern equivalent of Allison Ones? "So, is there another floorstander/monitor that is closed box that can at least be less than 18 inches from the rear wall and designed for close to wall positioning??"By "closed box" do you mean NO port (or transmission line) whatsoever? | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker In the November issue of the Pacific Northwest Audio Society's newsletter, the Intuitive Design Summits were designated "Best of Show," at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest. The newsletter is a 19 page pdf file that can be downloaded. The RMAF show r... | |
| Is there a modern equivalent of Allison Ones? "The phone system has been disabled "temporarily" since July ~! I just had an e-mail returned again by the server - so it's likely they are bye-bye........."-Springbok10Oh. I see. | |
| Is there a modern equivalent of Allison Ones? "Yes, but that was a long time ago. They haven't answered any e-mails and, I assume, are disbanded. I hope I'm wrong."I wouldn't give up just yet. Since their website is still up and running, they may still be alive and well. Hopefully their phone... | |
| Speaker disappearing act? "Have you ever listened to a pair of speakers that are drop dead amazing, but when you open your eyes they may not be the purest "disappearing" act you thought? Does that matter?"-Warrenh"Everything in life is a compromise and when there is someth... | |
| What speaker to buy to start over. I've owned the Intuitive Design Summit loudspeakers for over a year and my initial exuberant, giddy enthusiasm for them and their magical performance has not waned during that time. | |
| Anyone has heard the Paradigm S8 and can comment ? I listened to them in our home side by side with the Studio 100 V3s we owned at the time. They were an integral improvement over the 100s, with more detail and high end smoothness. Their bass extension was also better. The soundstaging capabilitie... | |
| Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker Now that over a year has passed since posting the original review, my initial enthusiasm for these speakers might be expected to have waned. It hasn’t. Although these speakers are not perfect, they are phenomenal. I’ve had extensive private email ... | |
| Mainstream reviews-why so few? Personal opinion:Whether or not something's been reviewed in the audiophile press is considerably less important than my own impressions at the time of listening. That's the ultimate test. If it sounds good and it seems to represent a good value, ... | |

| First round of auditions disappointing Seadweller,I remember occasionally being irked and not finding the holy grail (for me only, others may disagree) for a long time. The old, three box version of the Audio Physic Caldera sounded phenomenal, and retailed for 20K. I couldn't afford th... | |
| Massive entertainment center replacement ideas? "Here's a thought Bill... remove Gladys and see what happens to your sound. If you like the change, then pursue a new less obtrusive rack, if no change keep her. No guess work. Make sense?"MijknarfMijknarf,Yes, it makes perfect sense, except for t... | |

Your system is gorgeous too!Newbee: If I open the doors on the bottom, they only swing out and will not push back into t... | |
| Need help with sub selection The Rel Storm 3 that I own has been set up quite meticulously, and the crossover is set at 27 hertz. It integrates quite seamlessly with the mains, which run at full range. It augments the lowest of the low frequencies but apparently does not take... |
