| Best new loudspeaker the quad 57 has the least inaccurate midrange, period. i am surprised you have not revealed it. it is not attenuated in the treble, but it is dynamically restricted nad attenuated in the bass. greater transparency does not guarantee less timbral i... | |
| speakers for 15' by 12' listening room? have you auditioned the magnepan 1.6s ? the bass response won't over power your room. | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi mr g:if i heard a cone design that had all of the admirable characteristsics of a planar/dipole, i would consider it for purchase.unfortunately, every cone design i have heard has exhibited "colorations" which i do not like.there is a very good... | |
| Best new loudspeaker ask david chesky the same question about sound labs vs quads. this is the first time i have ever heard anyone suggest that any sound lab speaker was closer to the real think than the original quad esl.i suppose it is a matter of perception. there ... | |
| Martin Logan Abyss with Magnepan 1.6/QR's??? i own a pair of 1.6s. i would not use a sub for music. the loss of coherence is a problem.wait for magnepan to perfect a subwoofer. i heard an early version at ces. | |
| Best new loudspeaker the quad 989 is inferior in purity to the original quads.the 2805 is no better. the 57 was and is the best midrange and lower treble reproducer. the soundlabs are a distant second. | |
| Best new loudspeaker considering the entry date for this speaker. so far, no design has reduced errors of timbre in the midrange to a greater extent than the quad esl. i doubt any design in the future will surpass the quad in this respect.i have to give serious consid... | |
| Suggestion on interconnects i have owned mit interconnect and speaker cables.i don't own them now. they are not the last word in cables. i sold mine over a year ago. if you like them, fine. in no way are they the best available. there is no best available.taste and perceptio... | |
| audio research sells out good or bad ? let's see if the new company can retain and/or attract qualified designer/technicians who can sustain product quality.all of the comments so far are conjectural. within some reasonable period of time, the viability of the company will be apparent.... | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi audiophile1958:you can have a negative attitude toward a product initially, even if you haven't heard theproduct, if it is a member of a class of products to which you have been exposed and the result has been a dislike for such products.for ex... | |
| Best new loudspeaker hi shadorne:there is no mystery. no component is perfect. since imperfection is all that is available, there is a variety of imperfect products, preferred by a variety of hobbyists.when taste is the motivator of behavior, many products will flouri... | |
| Speaker cabinet materials. the best cabinet is no cabinet. wood resonates. perhaps, some inert matrial with such a low resonant point would be ok, but i suspect that it woud be very heavy. | |
| Best new loudspeaker never will any cone design be the best. electrostats are less inaccurate in reproducing timbre.there is a way to demonstrate this, but unfortunately people live to far away to do a simple test.the quads unlimited quad 57 are closer to real than an... | |
| What is a live speaker? try electrostats. they are fast drivers and as accurate as speakers can be. | |
| Best recording labels for orchestral music hi tobias:i do not own any vocal music on that label. none of my instrumental recordings are bright. i like harmonia mundi very much.it is difficult to generalize about the two labels.i will now add other labels:naiveopusaccentastreepierre veranya... |
