| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III @tomic601 ...It’s all good. I want to get along with everyone. I am not surprised you do not use the JBL grills. Have the grills disintegrated, like mine have ? | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III @tomic601 , I obviously hit a sore spot for you. You can question my hearing all you want. Dynamic compression in a speaker is not something I can live with. I meant no offense. Enjoy your system. I sure enjoy mine. MrD. | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Most of the speakers I have owned, disappeared, but most, never sounded like live music, nor, made my toes tap. I think the higher efficiency of the speaker has something to do with the dynamics one hears. Many are talking about the Tekton DI seri... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III @hifiman55. Secondary audio diffractions ? I do not hear any. Most speaker grill material will take care of that. That is the reason Thiel recommended leave the grills on. I actually prefer most speakers without grills, as they sound a bit more op... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III @heardthat.......Why I said " for what I enjoy ". I am in my 60s and have been at this recorded music listening hobby since my early teens. I was in the industry as well. Owned much of it, and heard much of it ( equipment / speakers, etc ). Always... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III Owning modified Klipsch Lascalas / powered subwoofers, I have to say that there is a night and day difference between a Vandersteen and Klipsch ( Heritage models specifically ). Different tastes, different listeners. Ozzy 62 said it best. For what... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps @will62 I think your attitude stinks. This is a free and open forum, with people who are jumping in trying to help you. Read, and use the information that is best for you, but come on man. Apologize to everyone else whose info might not cater to y... | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used @alucard19, I am intrigued by the Maze Audio power cords. Read through their web site. I have spent more building cables than what these cost. I will try one soon. Thanks for the recommendation. | |
| Power Cord for Pass Int 60-Under 1K used Do not use a stock cord. So much cable material and connectors available, one can build an excellent cable. I have built many, using different types of wires, and connectors, as I can get the flavor that I want. You want to spend up to 1 K, go ahe... | |
| In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup? @soix , would it not be better to come out of a tape out ( record out ), instead of a preout, avoiding another gain stage / volume control, or, am I just showing my old age ? | |
| In need of some Amplifier advice. Is therereally any point in it with my current setup? I have normally asked of anyone looking to upgrade their system, what is it that's lacking ?, what do you want more of ?, what do you not like about the system ?, before I make any recommendations. Have room acoustics been dealt with ? Have you up... | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps @lowrider57 , yes I was referring to you. Your statement, then, does not make sense. Sorry, no offense. | |
| Inexpensive Tube Amps YOU need to read the current thread. You are confusing this OP with another. This OP has not purchased any tube amp as of yet, ( including a Yaquin ), just sayin. Best..... | |
| speakers with balls Cornwalls do not have passive radiators. You must be thinking of the Choruses. | |
| Speakers least affected by room acoustics Another for " headphones ". Also, I agree with willemj, although I believe it is with all frequencies. |
