| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius After knowing Roy for 8+ years and speaking with him on a nearly a weekly basis I feared this would become his legacy and told him so. I did own several iterations of his speakers, but stopped doing business with him after our last deal. After th... | |
| Why bookshelf type speakers are high end @kanji I too have a system that goes below 40hz, manufacture says Frequency response. 21 – 25.000 Hz -3dB.However, I have and had several bookshelf speakers. These smaller speakers have their place in the market. Probably the #1 reason is space,... | |
| Why bookshelf type speakers are high end @dekay I read cheaper the earbud the better | |
| Equipment Rack Between Speakers...Good or Bad I find having the speakers out further in the room typically makes more of a difference than a rack centered between the speakers. For me I typically have the equipment rack near the wall and the speakers 3-4 ' out from the wall, but I have had t... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? @kenjit the dealers all get together and price fix??To answer the OP question I was really impressed with VOXATIV, specifically the Hagen model. For people in smaller spaces, or want a less pronounced visual system, - I was really impressed. | |
| Planned to upgrade to DeVore Gibbon X, but concerned about comment of base leanness @pokey77 what did you end up getting, or what did you hold on to? | |
| More Devore vs Proac questions (super 9 vs D30RS) How was the Super 9 bass? I have not heard the ProAC D30RS, but what I have heard of the ProAC line they have a much politer presentation than DeVore. | |
| Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time" @mac480025 You have 4 pairs of Tekton? Why and what 4? I have 4 sets, but from different manufacturers. Today I listened to all 4 and found something I liked in each. I figure 4 Tekton would have very similar sound coming from same designer. | |
| Roon - streaming only...where'd you get your NAS? I use a Synology NAS and converted my old INTEL NUC to a Roon Rock. I didn't shell out the 499, but decided to do the 120 per year to give it a full test. I think it is a great app and provides liner notes and artist info that otherwise I would ... | |
| R.I.P: Rest In Peace Roy Johnson, Green Mountain Audio's Genius I too will miss Roy and the contributions he made in speaker designs. He had some good ideas that led to some nice sounding speakers. I hope he had a legacy plan so his ideas and designs will not be loss. | |
| CD"S I too buy used CDs. I can buy them now for 1-3 bucks as people trade them in for pennies for the same titled LP. I can buy 10 or so titles for 20 bucks, or 1 decent LP. I burn and stream via Roon to ultra rendu andResolution Audio Cantata DAC/ ... | |
| Audio Reviewers agree completely with three_easy_payments - open forums where users can ask and express their opinions.I do wonder how many reviews are paid. I was surprised Tekton allegedly paid the guy from New Day Records. if it has happened once, sure it ha... | |
| Audio Reviewers Make sense there is a "people problem". After a purchase people may have Choice-supportive bias. Typically buyers pick the best option and after that decision they continue to affirm that decision. I guess in general people do not want to admit... | |
| Audio Reviewers Good point on music selection. Difficult to like a speaker if you dislike the music coming from it.As far as Ryan speakers- I will give them another chance as I seem to be in the minority. I heard them in a near field setup with what I thought t... | |
| Recommendations for Vintage Speakers ADS or Celestion Ditton 33/66 speakers for lower cost options -great for rock and metal. |
