| Carver, THE standard of excellence IMO To the OP...yesterday was 8 / 11, as an fyi, and I enjoyed your posts..... As far as Phase Linear, Carver and Sunfire. I sold the original PL 400s and 700s, and owned them as well. Many of my clients were DJs, and never did I experience a reported... | |
| Help on ancient Audionics CC-2s I owned CC2s. Someone above mentioned darkness to the sound, which describes many amplifiers from the past. When I purchased, originally for kicks, the Nuforce STA 200 in early 2017, I began selling many amplifiers from my collection. I am in no w... | |

| Klipsch, high end? " High end " audiophile equipment can be reasonably priced gear, or, can fringe on being ridiculously out of bounds, financially, to most. If I recall, Harry Pearson was the 1st to use, and refer, the term, high end. Back in the day, a Nad 3020 am... | |

| Horn Speaker Recommendations mahlman, I know you, from the " bay ", as I recognize those huge full range horn speakers in ur warehouse. Place them in a 15 by 20 room, a standard sized listening room for many, and yes, they would be overwhelming, both visually, and acousticall... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations I understand, and completely validate, how wonderful the Jubilee is. However, as I pointed out, they fall into a category of similarity to the monstrous horn speakers johnk was talking about. The projection, presentation, and pressurization ( the ... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations RIAA, this quote I repeated, by the reviewer, Ken, was made prior, to his review of the Fortes IIIs. He happens to like horns, and have reviewed many. Your reviewer did not mention listening to great Jazz players, such as by Thelonious Monk, Miles... | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations @jsautter I heard your speakers several years ago at a show. Very nice. Incredible build quality, and the first horn loaded ribbon ( tweeter ) I have ever seen, or heard. I very much understand why you have them, but, still not my cup of tea, nor ... | |
| Help with selling GAS preamps jjaffe, where are you located ? | |
| Horn Speaker Recommendations With all the blah blah blah presented by jsautter, in his 200 posts, he does not mention what speakers he owns. I am sure they are wonderful, but, probably a speaker not for everyone. Let’s have it, jsautter ? Let us know what your " benchmark " i... | |
