| Audioquest Water vs Kimber KCAG If you like the Waters, Try AQ. Earth. It's even better. I preferred it over Niagara in "my" system... | |
| What model Altecs are these? Quite possibly. Early Valencia's. I had the later version Valencia. The 846-B. It was an upgrade driver wise but had a plain, large walnut veneered box with two large ports on the front. It was the home version of the Altec A-7 system, or more com... | |
| What model Altecs are these? They do look like they have Vott components. the horn looks like the 811 model, though not sure because I can't see the front of the horn. the wooden speaker itself looks somewhat like an early 846-A Flemenco. Just my observation. Could be totally... | |

| Journey ending speakers I don't consider myself to be on the "up-grade" merry-go-round but as far as speakers are concerned I don't think the journey ending variety ever existed....JMHO. | |
| Help Me Choose (new) Bookshelf Speakers, and Integrated Amplifier for $1300 and under! A lot of good choices. The ELAC's are very good. My choice of a integrated would be the Rogue Audio Sphinx. Clean, simple, 100 watt/Ch. class D power section with tube pre. Has a good phono section and headphone amp section. Highly rated. Some goo... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Kenny,I agree that the 800hz crossover point, along with the distance the woofer is away from the other drivers could be a bit of a problem. Maybe the low mounting of the 8" woofer was used to extend the lower frequency of that driver using the fl... | |
| How much does DAC ‘Reality’ cost in 2017? Blindjim,Looks like your building a system, or part of it, using all the great advice of the 'Gon members. I think this is great and can't wait to see what you come up with in the end.Keep us posted!Cheers,Tim | |
| Vandersteen 1ci vs Totem Arro I think your choice of the Vandersteen 1c is an excellent one. I don't know much about Totem. I'm sure they are very good speakers due to their popularity. As one other poster suggested, the adding of a Vandersteen 2Wq sub will take your sound to ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering 333jeffery,In my case, this is not true. As I said, I will give them a fair and impartial evaluation. I would do this for ANY loudspeaker system..... There are those who hear, but do not listen........ | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering david_ten,Rest assured, If the DI's sound to me like the praise they have been getting, they will grace my living room for years to come...:) | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering david_ten,If you were referring to me as one of the two who said the DI's fell on their face. Well David, I didn't say that. I said they MAY have performed poorly. I also said I couldn't be sure as I didn't know all the details (facts) of that eve... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Kenny,I don't feel that way. (not ready for primetime). I think I am open minded enough to judge the DI or the whole Tekton line for that matter on a lengthy listening session. And even then it would just be my opinion, for better or for worse. It... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering I have (the proverbial) no dog in this fight. Tekton has gone from a smallish company with a limited amount (and affordable) speaker line to a company with many complicated (and somewhat expensive) larger line of loudspeakers. Throw in the optiona... | |
| XLR and DBS (Audioquest) I have a pair of AQ. Earth interconnects with DBS and XLR termination. All I can say is these cables sound pretty darn good in my system although I can't attest it to the XLR termination. I tried a comparison a few years back with Purist Audio Mus... |
