| Best new loudspeaker hi ralph:there is no best anything. however, at a point in time, one can say that given say 5 speakers, one of them is least inaccurate timbrally. that doesn't make it the best, but does establish performance in that regard.timbre is one of severa... | |
| System-Buster CDs i use the following:track 1 from holly cole don't smoke in bed. her voice is close miked and sibilance can be excessive in most stereo systems.bob james and earl klugh two of a kind. i listen for cymbal and acoustic guitar. in most stereo systems ... | |
| Best value speakers available hi ron:i have auditioned the lft 8s, 6s and the earliest, the 3s.i find with the hybrids, that the cone and planar elements produce two dsitinct sound patterns, perhaps, partly because of the radiating patterns which are unique to each driver type... | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi techmachine:it may be a great speaker. i visited the web site, read a review and briefly studied some of the technical details.the speaker might be too revealing. until i hear it (i can't lift it at 295 pds), it represents an if.for $7200, i ca... | |
| Value in i don't think the question should be new or old, but rather what speaker you like ?perhaps, you would consider a full range or hybrid panel speaker . if so, look for a martin logan sequel, sequel 2 or sl 3, or some of the more recent martin logan ... | |
| Best new loudspeaker let's be careful of how you interpret the word "new".if by "new", you mean, production date during the last three months, i must admit, that what i have in mind is somewhat older than that. the only speaker which could be considered "new", would b... | |
| Quad ESL or Soundlab? the quad 2805 is essentially, a reworked quad 63. the 2805 plays louder, is better braced, is a bit more dynamic, and goes a bit deeper.if you had a chance to compare the 2805 to a rebuilt quad 57, you would notice a purer mid band and treble, com... | |
| Best new loudspeaker if you compareh a three way cone design to a pair of martin logan cls 2 z speakers , you will hear many differences. let's say your source is a harpsichord.the timbre of the harpsichord, in my opinion will sound more realistic played through the m... | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi shadorne:it is my experience, auditioning many cone designs that cone designs do not as good a job creating natural timbre as ribbons, electrostats and planar/magnetic drivers.cone designs have driver colorations, cabinet colorations and crosso... | |
| Quad ESL or Soundlab? hi andre:where did you hear the podiums ? i heard them at ces they sounded awful. i had two other friends with me at the st tropez. | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi timemachine:i have heard mbl speakers many times at ces shows.they are fine speakers. however, they are nopt what i would call pure sounding. they do not sound like electrostatic speakers, magnepans, apogees, eminent technology speakers and oth... | |
| Quad ESL or Soundlab? hi mozart:you bought the wrong quads. you should have considered stacked quad 57s. the 2805 is a "souped up" quad 63.i am in the market for a speaker and i am considering quads unlimited quad 57s. | |
| Why Don't More People Love Audio? here is a simple answer:in order to enjoy the sound of your favorite music, you only need a rudimentary personal audio system.there is no need to acquire components to enjoy one's music.thus, if you can listen to music on a "boom box" and enjoy it... | |
| Quad ESL or Soundlab? i don't think much of the 2805. i have heard them several times. i am looking for a new speaker and am considering quads unlimited quad esls(quad 57).as for soundlab. you probably need a lot of current and i don't think they are as pure sounding a... | |
| Best new loudspeaker i consider the quads unlimited reproduction of the original quad esl to be the least inaccurate with respect to timbre. my concern is the bass response as well as the susceptibility of the panel to degradation due to temparature and humidity. i am... |
