| New Construction Acoustic Design & Consulting Stehno, no need to apologize...no offense taken. you and i both agree on the 'art' factor of the Exqusites....they always brought me pleasure just looking at them...the VR9's are at best 'industrial'. to be fair.....my VR9's will be in Piano Black... | |
| New Construction Acoustic Design & Consulting Michael; i assume your post is directed at me. this thread was started by Dbk....who mentioned the 'floating floor'. my floor is directly glued to the concrete and is real wood venier over a composite wood base....very solid. my site is very dry a... | |
| New Construction Acoustic Design & Consulting Stehno, as my article and above post spell out.....i do clearly think that if a person has a relatively 'clean sheet of paper' to start with.....getting a single comprehensive professionally created plan makes the most sense for most audiophiles..... | |
| New Construction Acoustic Design & Consulting i admit i'm biased to the path i choose regarding room design. i had spent 9 years learning and observing cause and effect in my room acoustics and other's rooms. i had read countless articles and opinions......looked at lots of products......spok... | |
| wilson watt puppy 7 question: Michael, the spacers are for tuning the bass and should be room, amplifier, and set-up dependant....so there is no 'right' amount.when i had WP6's i started with no spacers but kept fighting a mid-bass 'hump'. my room was only 12' wide and the spe... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Sig. v Koetsu Rosewood SigPlat George, sorry for the delay in my response. when i saw your question i had to think about it some. i have always had it in my mind that i had an RSP II. so i went to my original reciept and it said 'RSP II'. i then looked back at the original Ster... | |
| Speakers for Lamm ML2.1 Andy, i own the Tenor 300 watt hybrids, and currently have the DarTZeel NHB-108 Stereo ss amp in my room. at CES i heard the VR9's on the DarTZeel and was very impressed. both the Tenors and DarTZeel trade strength for strength. the Tenor's are a ... | |
| Speakers for Lamm ML2.1 i've just gone thru a similar decision process......but not limited to the ML2.1 amps.i do have the Midi Exquisites that Thom-y suggests as loaners while my ordered VR9's are being built. if my room were a little smaller i would (possibly) keep th... | |
| Koetsu Rosewood Sig. v Koetsu Rosewood SigPlat i own the RSP II and agree with others here.....very special cartridge that is full frequency.....outstanding detail and nuance.....and magical tonality. i also agree that you need a low noise phono stage with good gain....the low noise is more si... | |
| Dartzeel or Audio Research VTM200??? i have the DarTZeel stereo amp in my room now in addition to my long term reference Tenor 300 watt mono's. the DarTZeel is in the same league as the Tenor Hybrid's to my ears......but a little 'different'. that 'same league' is at the very top of ... | |
| Why Linear Tracking never took off? the linear tracker on the Sirius III is not too bad either (i like mine).....i played with two Kuzma Airline's at CES.....they sounded great (difficult to isolate the arm from other factors at the show)....but the lack of a damping trough could li... | |
| Agon Members at CES Mes, se ya there. Jonathan says they rock (but you KNEW that). i can't wait. | |
| Agon Members at CES i'll be there late Thursday nite....thru mid-day Sunday. | |
| Media Room Construction Dbk, although i can't speak for Rives.....their level 3 service should be under $10k plus traveling expenses. we used our frequent flier miles to fly them out to Seattle twice, picked them up at the airport and had them stay overnight in our home.... | |
| Media Room Construction Dbk, trust me.....i understand your challenges. i have just completed a 'no-holds-bared' 2-channel listening room project. i used Rives Audio for my design work. it might be usefull to read an article i wrote about my experience on Positive Feedba... |
