| Quad 57 stacked v Wilson watt puppy 6/7 can you say an apple is better than an orange ??the quads and any cone speaker are two totally different technologies. one can never be better than another. they are different.one may prefer one to the other.in my case any cone system comes in sec... | |
| TAS and the Martin Logan Source further thoughts on the source:i see two problems with the speaker, namely the panel itself and the crossover point.the panel is the second generation electrostatic technology.it is more resolving than earlier ml panels, such as the cls's, sequels... | |
| Classe Audio DR6 i owned a dr 6 and a dr 9 amp. both dry sounding, thin and lean. boy was i glad to sell both. what a mistake. | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi duke:you can discuss accurate vs inaccurate replication of recordings. one can measure and state facts.the problem occurs when a judgment is rendered.here is an example:stereo system a is accurate--factstereo system b is inaccurate--factso far,... | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi ralph:aha, now i see your point. you have defined a criterion as to what best is, and you are applying that criterion to the evaluation of components and stereo systems.i understand your perspective, but it is an arbitrary one. you use the word... | |
| Best new loudspeaker the placement of microphones is different from the location of audience members. it is gnereally above the stage and sometimes over rows 1 to 5.placing the microphones in that position gives an orchestra a sound which does not represnt where i pre... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers hi inwanw:i own 1.6s. there have been threads regarding this speaker. i will be brief. room size and spl will determine power requirement. i have a 30 watt amp and a 120 watt amp. i use both and have no problems. leave space between speaker and re... | |

| Obscure companies making excellent speakers? i heard the feastrex driver at the show. you can have it, and take the lowther two. both are not too my taste. i hear an unbalanced frequency response, i.e., too little bass and too much treble. | |

| Looking for speakers with soundstage depth any dipole placed 5 feet or more from a back wall will give you depth. prime examples inclkude all electrostatics, apogees, magnepans, analysis audio speakers and other planar magnetics. | |
| Amp for Quad ESL 57 anyone ever use vtl tiny triodes or quicksilver minimites.i am taking my own suggestion and looking for 25 watts or less--tube amps. i may be purchasing stacked quads. iowned them once and two is not enough. the difference in the midbass between t... | |
| Obscure companies making excellent speakers? add to that ikonoklast and mark and daniel.the former is a very interesting design. it uses two ohm/walsh tweeters and a transmission line. supposedly it has the transparency of a quad 57 , but i don't believe it. it sells for $4000/pair. | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi shadorne:i have never noticed a note jumping out at me. perhaps, it is because my favorite location is the last row orchestra.cone speakers, with some exception tend to sound like i am listening in the first row, or at best mid hall. | |
