| Does a turntable make a DRAMATIC difference? A turntable’s job is not just to turn the platter at the prescribed speed. It also needs to isolate the platter from vibration and other outside forces. The tone arm has to carry the properly set up cartridge and make sure it tracks optimally. Non... | |
| Dynaudio - Made in China vs Denmark The quality has nothing to do with the COO. It has to do with the specifications outlined by in this case Dynaudio and the quality control post production. The Chinese are quite capable of producing world class quality products in 2022. | |
| Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY Ohm has been in business for 40+ years. They have refined the omnidirectional Walsh driver design and now sell direct. They are not going anywhere but they do suffer from supply chain issues like everyone else. | |
| most beautiful (looking) speakers I haven’t read all the posts but I heard Estelon speakers with VAC electronics this past weekend at Axpona and besides the phenomenal sound they are gorgeous. | |
| Technics 1200G VS VPI Prime Signature Can’t speak to the Technics but it’s very well reviewed so you can’t go wrong. I’ve owned a VPI Scout 2 for about 5 years with the 9” unipivot arm and it’s been flawless. Once it’s on the album it tracks beautifully. | |
| How important is it to have identical speaker cable length? Doesn’t matter but unless you are making your own cables, aren’t they usually packaged in matching pairs? | |
| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? Magician A3, Devore O/96, Spendor to name a few. | |
| Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions? That’s a real sweet spot for good speakers. There are so many but some are dependent on your electronics. A good place to start is a direct to consumer company like Salk or Ohm. The current Monitor Audio line is highly regarded. | |
| All NEW Paradigm FOUNDER SERIES...Could they be Paradigm's best speakers yet ? I guess these will replace the Prestige series which were a bit bland. This price range is very competitive and the Prestige had been around for a while. | |
| The two most common mistakes are bass and treble Agree with the requirement to try them at home first. Many showrooms have odd acoustics and it’s not always possible to properly place the speakers in that room. | |
| Quality of construction on some speakers- namely Harbeth You called to tell him you think he cheaped out on components and he hung up on you. I’d have done the same. | |
| Finally found a space for the speakers I’ve been storing... and I don’t love them any more I own the Studio 100 v5 and am very happy with their performance with my Jolida tube separates. I can’t comment on the v2’s but the v5’s are what I’d call a very smooth speaker. They don’t go real deep but then again my room is not well treated. T... | |
| Make Magnepan LRS Better I’d say the LRS are a great pair of speakers for $650.00. Not sure making them a $2500.00 speaker is a good value. Why not get the 1.7i’s for the same price? | |
| Magico Customer service OP, I would caution you to not listen to anyone on this forum. There is zero objectivity and many of the posters work at or own hifi stores and are biased against lines they don’t carry and compete against. Go to some other audiophile forum for th... | |
| Low power- transparency, dimension, dynamics and bass, or... Why aren’t low watt tube amps transparent? |
