| Wilson Audio Haters I thought if I jump into a thread entitled "Wilson Audio Haters", by page 4 it would diverge into something very weird & convoluted, and the first post I read was about Darwinism and morphing DNA, lol!! :D | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? gpgr4blu, I owe you an apology, I asked Audiogon if you're a moderator & they confirmed you are. Please don't ban my arse Mr Moderator. I promise I'll be good from now on and not offend the sensitivities of TAD owners!! | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? gpgr4blu, I find your comments so ironic considering the Magico-bashing that has gone on in this thread, lol! I noticed you conveniently slid past all those comments & cherry picked all mine to paint me as a troll. Terribly sorry to offend y... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? shadorne5,434 posts01-06-2017 10:00am@melbguy1 Agreed, I also apologize to the OP for my part in making this TAD thread about how fantastic Magico is or isn’t. Why? Check out page one of this thread for starters. PIoneer, I mean TAD fanboi’s have... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? Shadorne, we can argue about 1db till the cows come home. I suggest you stop looking at graphs and go out and listen to a properly setup pair of S5 Mk1’s. Maybe you’ll be so enamored you’ll snap up a pair? They are relative bargains on the used ma... | |
| Who would buy a Boulder 3050 amplifier? I’ve owned a Boulder 1060 & 1010 pre. The first thing you notice is the excellent build quality & solid, user-friendly interface. Boulder gear looks and feels like it’s built for a lifetime. It sounds natural, neutral, resolving & has ... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? @shardorne, Firstly the NRC at the time stated the S5 Mk1 speakers had the lowest THD of any speaker they ever tested. Secondly, a max 2bd deviation in linearity above 2kHz is "embarassing", "horrendous" and "extremely audible"? The S5 Mk1's drive... | |
| PS Audio BHK 300 mono VS Modwright KWA 150SE mono VS D'agostino Classic stereo Seemingly no love for the Modwright KWA-150SE amps in bridged mono mode. FWIW, i’ve heard the original KWA-150 & thought it had was very well engineered and finished. It had "plenty" of power as a single stereo amp to drive even a moderately d... | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Jafant, It will be a good year indeed if Audiolatrine continues to stick to his shameless shilling ’blog’ as Taralabs describe it & stay out of intelligent discussions like this ;) | |
| Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable? Even at the level of my old Jorma Prime sc’s ($18k, 2.0mtrs pair) I immediately noticed a substantial improvement upgrading to Jorma Statement sc’s ($28k, 2.0mtrs pair). So yes I think to a certain extent you get what you pay for. | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? @Zephyr, i'm glad you've assembled a system which sounds musical to your ears. Tthanks for your good wishes. All the best to you in 2017!@shadorne, You must be talking about the S5 Mk1, as respected reviewer Martin Colloms had this to say about th... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? @Zephyr, ah I don’t think the accompanying amps, front end or cables were at fault when i auditioned the TAD’s. I’ve auditioned them twice, the last time with D’ag Momentum mono’s & a full DCS Vivaldi stack, and the results were the same as th... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? Joey, $37k is $1k short of a pair of Magico S5 Mk2's which would kill the TAD's. | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? @knghifi, I wouldn't describe Vitus Signature series gear as thick and dark. I would describe the sound as natural/organic and harmonically rich, yes, but not dark. The SS-103 and SIA-025 amps are on the warm side in Class A. The Vitus RI-100 ... | |
| TAD Reference loudspeakers-How good are they? @bcgator, well we'll just discuss high end audio, and you can, uh hum, discuss neurologists, witch doctors and voodoo practioners which seems to be your interest area. Au contraire, it is I who wish you a speedy recovery... |
