| Some top cd-players elizabeth, you are a wise women:i have heard the reimyo and audio research players, but have not heard the two in the same system.are you considering the purchase of one of these players ?if so, you should listen to them. they are relatively expen... | |
| Which allround speaker ? although not my favorite, as i prefer panel speakers, i visited a friend who owns vandersteen 3s.i expect this speaker would satisfy your criterion for tonal balance. it is worth an audition and it won't break the bank. | |
| tube amps sounding like solid state and vv i think a more interesting questions is the following:why do designers persist in providing more and more resolution until it hiyrts ?why should one suffer listening to certain recordings?too much resolution does not sound real.i believe that the ... | |
| Tube amps have a signature sound hi ralph:i think you have misinterpreted my statements. detail and frequency response are two different variables.i said that i perceive many solid state and tube amps and preamps which are in current production to be overly resolving in their pre... | |
| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 my statements are subjective, based upon my perceptions. are perceptions factual or merely an opinion ?if perceptions are facts, than i am basing my opinions upon facts. if perceptions are opinions than my statements are purely subjective.what is ... | |

| Planar close to a rear wall? Quad for example? hi mjstark:it is too bad you were not with me when i heard a pair of quads set up in a kitchen. i di not think it would work either. i played an orchestral selection--ravel's alborado del graciso conducted by ansermet.although depth was not ideal,... | |
| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 it's all subjective, but no cone speaker is preferable to stacked quad 57s. you can have your scintilla, duetta signature, martin logan, or any other speaker. the 57 is less inaccurate within its range than any other speaker, period. | |
| "romantic" sounding cabling i owned the magnan v i. they are not overly warm, but are not egregiously objectionable. i would say the cable may be slightly warm of neutral. if they were more forgiving, i would still own them today.i have not found a very warm cable, having au... | |
| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 the scintilla has merely an iota of the quad 57's timbral accuracy. look at the driver material and "speed' of the drivers. | |
| Planar close to a rear wall? Quad for example? hi newbee:i too owned quad 63's. having owned stacked quad 57's for 7 years, i would say, the 63's are more inaccurate, timbrally speaking. my experience with quad 57s placed close to the wall does not confirm your experience with the 63's reagrdi... | |
| Planar close to a rear wall? Quad for example? a number of years ago, i visited a technician who repairs quads. as i walked into his house, i noticed a pair of quadsset up in his kitchgen. the speakers were very close to the wall, probably, no more than 1 foot.while there was a loss of depth, ... |
