Anyone who knows about music fundamentals, are aware of the 4 important characteristics necessary for the accurate reproduction of music reproduction, and it’s sounds. These 4 specific qualities are, in no particular order : ( 1 ) Dynamics; ( 2 ) ... | |
| Are Martin Logan’s what they used to be? I need to agree with George, as I owned MLs, and set up many pair. And the problem becomes worse as you raise the spl. I am glad he spoke about " smearing of details ", as any loudspeaker that rocks back and forth will give up much of this. I foun... | |
| Any Audio Pro a4-14 owners in here? @urmarvin, george, I have a pair, and had a a pair of the B250s. I loved the A414s when I first got them. Over the years, I had to replace all of the woofers, as they disintegrated, and used Kef B110s in their place, and they worked out great, and... | |
| Just purchased a pair of Atma Sphere M-60 Mk 3's upgraded to 3.3's You might want to contact Ralph at Atma-Sphere ( Mr. Atma Sphere ), who happens to be a very large contributor here on the 'Gon. A brilliant guy, and as nice a person on any forum that I have visited. It is my belief from his writings, he prefers ... | |
| The Frankensteining of Amplifiers Although this thread is based on fairly new gear, lest not forget that the overhaul of a 30 - 40 year old piece can significantly upgrade the original, as parts are superior today, and older parts are, well, old... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? I am not questioning you smartness, believe me. Just enjoy them ! I always liked the old Marantz receivers, as I thought they sounded good with Klipsch, Altecs, and JBL horns I paired them with. If yours is in great shape, using it is stereo mode,... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? I am happy for you, as I know you will enjoy them. But I was surprised you went for another large speaker after not keeping the DBX you let go because of their size. As far as which amp will work best, use your own ears, as everyone will have a di... | |
| Is a preamp needed ??? It depends. I would encourage you to scan these pages, as there are many threads about this subject already...... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp FYI, the Nuforce STA 200 is not a class D amp ( it is A/B, using a Goldmund circuit design ), as I believe it to be the only non class D amp they make. George, I do not think that was me, as I spoke about passive, vertical biamping with a pair of ... | |
| What is trully important? kosst, enjoyed your story, but....met to have drinks with her....went to your place....young enough to be your daughter ( but old enough to drink )....dropped her in a big comfy chair....turned the lights " on "....went to grab something, and star... | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? On another positive note, the Chorus 2, went from a front ported enclosure, to a sealed enclosure, using a rear facing passive radiator, and was much more successful in sales, and was produced for twice as long, as the series 1. | |
| Klipsch Chorus II for $600, yes or no? The Klipsch Chorus, either the series 1 or 2, was never a Heritage model, although I suspect, if production continued, as happened with the Forte, they would become marketed as a Heritage model. Because I feel PWK was a brilliant guy, I initially ... | |
| Odyssey "Khartago" Stereo Extreme" amp compared to Schitt's "Vidar" amp Under the amplifier specification section on the Odyssey site, it states that the amplifiers ( all of them ), indicate : Class A / AB. Who am I to question the validity of the claim. It might be a sliding bias circuit, because what George is sayin... | |
| MC462 enough to handle Revel Salon 2’s? + 1 tlinkie...The MC needles have never been accurate, and, if you think you are only using 4.5 watts, you are not cranking it as much as you might think. But, they are beautiful to look at. To answer the question. The 462 will drive anything, but... | |
| I see a lot of Chinese MBL6010D knock offs Someone on here has a Dartzeel Chinese clone, stating it was the best amp he has owned, but is now selling it, as he wants tubes for his new efficient speakers. Personally, if it was that good, I do not know why he wouldn't keep it as a 2ndary, or... |
