| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all hi brizonbovizier:you are correct on the need for multiple tests. if we were not separated by the atlantic ocean, we could design an experiment to be performed , say 50 times. that way, i could clean your pocket of most of your waging money.you al... | |
| more copyright nonsense suppose i buy a cd and after listening to it for a month bring it to a friend's house. after hearing the cd my friend says: "i think i will buy this cd". i suggest he doesn't have to buy the disk because i will come over to his house and let him l... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 hi nealhood:did you have any problem with the bass response, both in terms of quality and quantity ? what about the continuity between cone and planar drivers ?i think most hybrids ultimately are not satisfying because they sound like two differen... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors hi doubleugly:i failed to pick up on your last senetence which is not true. knowledge does not come from experience. at best you may be able to use inductive reasoning by extrapolating from previous experience. knowledge is a different entity. it ... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors hi doubleugly:if i like large panel speakers, why would i like a stand mounted box speaker. before i go to the trouble of requesting a pair for the purpose of reviewing them, i should have some idea why i might like them. otherwise, i go through a... | |
| Speakers with high WAF? if you are looking for decor, the tympany 1d or tympany 4 or 4a, 3 panel speaker in a large room is very attractive.a large sound lab doesn't look bad either. | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors a stand mounted speaker with a small enclosure will not sound the same as a panel with a large radiating area.as fine a product as it might be it is not an apogee , martin logan, quad, magnepan, analysis audio, etc.preference is so subjective that... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 hi doug:my comments about the tweeter came from bruce thigpen himself. if you lived near me, i would propose an experiment comparing the 8a and the 8b. i would bet that i would say the 8a is softer in the treble than the 8b .another problem with t... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors the problem with the word transparency is that it has nothing to do with timbre it is an artifact of sound, somewhat like focus.did anyone attend a concert of un amplified music and use the word transparent to describe the presentation ?it is a wo... | |
| We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors i gather someone likes these speakers. no doubt there is a good reason for the praise. i may get to hear them myself.it is a stretch to say they are the best speakers, period.it is always a matter of taste and i wonder if there is anything to be a... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all brizonbovizier is fortunate he lives in england. otherwise i would be ready to submit to a blind test, with two pair of cables of my choice and a stereo system of my choice, to prove him wrong about cable differences.however, is perception reality... | |
| James Randi vs. Anjou Pear - once and for all hi brizonbiovizier:i would like to propose an experiment. unfortunately you and i are thousands of miles apart.i would like to demonstrate that i can discern differences between two cables. remember, all it takes is one double blind test to dispro... | |
| Magnepan 1.6 the problem with magnepan's is definitely not the amplifier used to drive it. the speaker has problems regardless of what amplifier you use. its bass response is lacking and it has too much treble energy. if you use a powerful amplifier, you might... | |
| panel speaker purchase i'm a straight shooter. very often i write the review and then buy the component. many times i buy a component with the understanding that i won't write a review.if you read my reviews you will notice that many of the components i have reviewed, i... | |
| Recommend a forward speaker hi onhwy61:you raise a basic question as to the purpose of a stereo system. should a stereo system be as linear as possible or should it reflect the taste of the owner and change the sound of the recording to suits one's preference ?which type of ... |
