Just auditioned Martin Logan ESL vs 60xt BB Magnolia shops are for people with more money than discerning taste. They don’t have proper amplification and the speakers are set up poorly. I heard the ESL’s set up properly at a friend’s shop and they were terrific. So much transparency and ... | |
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio Are you kidding? It’s blatant. I have no problem with someone coming here with sincere love for a brand or model. But when they also make it a point in the same posts (and by doing this in multiple older threads) to run down a competitive product ... | |
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio He has found nearly every Persona thread and added his opinion. Nothing wrong with respecting his opinion but it’s obvious he is targeting Paradigm on purpose to make some point. That is unethical. | |
How much are AR AR3's worth these days? I’m with those that think the OP is acting poorly re his Craigslist ad. It’s not an auction site. | |
Snell E-5 with my Rega Brio? I sold my E lll’s a few years ago for about that amount. I had installed new woofers. | |
Why don't Joseph Audio Pearls get more love from the audio press? I wouldn’t say that. For one, read their review of the latest Klipschorn models. | |
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em? Ohm’s factory is in Brooklyn. Give them a call and see if you can visit to hear their products. | |
Buying Speakers Based on Specs There’s some value to the specs and likely the Spendors will go lower. But if you can get the dealer to set up the speakers to approximate your listening room as much as possible it will help. Also, see if there’s a return policy just in case. Las... | |
Best cheap system I have ever heard Like a turntable? Looks like it has phono inputs for MC/MM. | |
Interest in Ohm speakers Which model and how big was the room? | |
Paradigm Persona series I own Paradigm Studio 100 V5 speakers and have had significant time with the Persona 9H’s. To me they are anything but fatiguing. In fact, just the opposite. They are smooth and the drivers are seamlessly integrated. There are a lot of great speak... | |
30.7 MAGNEPAN Tour in Indy So you’re saying the brand is in trouble? That’s a huge stretch. By the way few dealers stock many higher priced speakers. I’m in the Detroit Metro area and only one dealer has anything over $10k/pair and that’s Paragon who is one of the top deale... | |
30.7 MAGNEPAN Tour in Indy Wendell was quite clear that the 30.7 is more of a technical exercise to show the Power Response benefits than a product they want to build and sell. It’s not a particularly practical speaker due to its size and how that requires a huge room. They... | |
Magnepan durability There’s no way I’d put Maggie’s in a room with a toddler. The good thing is if they are toppled, they are not heavy. I put my now departed Snell E3’s in the basement until my son was 5 and they are far more stable than Magnepan planars. | |
Your favorite Electrostatic, Panel spkr Another fan of the Sanders 10e. Made a point to hear them at Axpona this year and they were very impressive. On another level I heard the Maggie 30.7’s this past week and they are amazing but not so practical. |
