| clayton s40 vs. pass aleph 3 or 5 Hi cbird. How do you like the Newform? I am an Apogee junkie. the Apogees are the direct ancestors to the Newform. I have a Pass Labs X 150 powering an Apogee Duetta Signature in my present set up. The X series are perfect for more laid back ribbo... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Apogee Scintillas - I've never heard anything come close other than Apogee Divas and Apogee Duetta Signatures. The Scintillas are the only speaker that had me believing I was hearing a live performance even though the great monoliths were standing... | |
| 1000 budget for speakers and integrated - HELP Most are missing $1000 for the two. If you are listening to acoustic, there is no better transducer than a ribbon speaker. Wonderful Apogee ribbon hybrids are available for as little as five hundred dollars and Jolida tube amps can be had for arou... | |
| Personal amp evolution My profound disagreement with evo845. I moved from tubes to the Pass Labs X150 and couldn't be happier. Gone is the caramel gluon that valves bring. The sound is sweet, quick, and accurate. It has brought my Apogee Duetta Signatures to their full ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I haven't ween Jolida, so here it is. I suffered through the misfiring 600's, stuck it out, and got one of their new JD 100's. Transport problems have vanished and the playback is still grainless and musical but has picked up more detail along the... | |
| Acurus A200 vs Adcom 5800 Any planar or ribbon speaker will out perform any dynamic driver when it comes to revealing true downstream character. I ran a series of solid state amps on my Boston acoustics towers, without hearing any significant differences in sonics except f... | |
| Best Speakers/ Mini monitors USED 5K Try and have a listen to a big apogee, Duetta, Diva, Scfintilla, Full Range, Grands, properly placed and powered, and let your hair down.You will be alwys thankful. Cheers! | |
| Personal speaker evolution Like others I started with FisherFisher system $140Boston Acoustic A150 $550Apogee Stage speakers $1300Apogee Duetta Signatures $1600And that's it. In the mid eighties while owning the Bostons I heard Apogee Scintillas and that left an indelible i... | |
| Okay, the gloves are off. Let the fur fly I agree with Twl, common sense will tell you that a feather lite driver freely suspended will give more microtransient info than any dynamic driver. Planars and ribbons will also be able to dynamically rise and fall with ease. Seamlesness is not p... | |
| Am I doing my speakers Justice? I'm using a PASS Labs X150 to power 86db and 4ohm speakers with thrilling results. The X150 shares innards with the X350. | |
| Tube Tjoeb CD player in a solid state system? No problem at all, and you will notice an instant improvement of sound especially if you are using midfy amps. The tubes will soothe what ails you. | |
| Best Speakers/ Mini monitors USED 5K I have to admit, I have never heard the Wilson Watt Puppy. Talking about typical looking, all dynamic drivers in a box share an obvious common lineage. I suspect the Wilson, like the big Duntechs, Infinities, and other super box speakers sound dyn... | |
| Best Speakers/ Mini monitors USED 5K I think you are missing my point. Apogee sold out lock stock and barrel. After that, Bloom had no rights to continue backing his product. ADS felt it was worth their while to scuttle the Apogee line right off the bat. They certainly have no intere... | |
| Best Speakers/ Mini monitors USED 5K Oops, sorry. I was just telling it like it is. Jason Bloom sold the company and moved to the next best thing as entrepeneurs will do. The company was sold to ADS which promptly buried the patents. Why do you think they spent millions just to do that? | |
| New Plinius Integrated? 8200mk2? I gave serious consideration to the Plinius 8200mk, as well as the Llano Trinity 200, but settled on a Pass Labs X150. The Pass has no PS filter. It does not use feedback and there are no capacitors nor resistors in the signal path. the two stages... |
