Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? I hope Ritteri isn't thinking that he is the only string or piano player. Every driver material imparts something of itself to the sound. Minimizing that noise pollution is one aim of speaker builders.When driver materials are mixed, like in a B&a... | |
Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Ritteri, the strings do make the sound. The vented hollow cavity magnifies the sound of the string, adding it's own colorations. That is why violas have heavier strings than do violins. Likewise, the box of a dynamic speaker introduces it's own co... | |
Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Dynamics arguable, but harmonics? | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Unsound, your adult approach to dialogue is refreshing. There are many models of Apogees. I have happily run some on 100 watt tube amps. All are 4 ohm speakers, or greater, except the Scintilla. Why do I choose the Scintilla? Because it is the fin... | |
Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Khrys, read this - http://www.apogeespeakers.info/scintilla.htm - and write a report. Hand it in on Monday. Thank you very much. | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Khyrs. Why don't you have your maid give you a warm glass of milk, and tuck you in. You must be running a fever. | |
Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Pulling the subwoofer topic back into the main discussion, I do believe it is an advantage to have all frequencies expressed by the same driver type. The Scintilla can do all the frequencies required, without the aid of a sub. It also, as I have n... | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Khrys what is your problem? In another forum topic, I repeated one quote by a speaker maker that colorfully explains why Apogee stopped making Scintillas, but not the much larger Full Ranges, and you have had connuptions ever since. The hand labor... | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Hi Megasam,I bought mine in the states. It was new, and had been in the hands of a former dealer. From Denmark, I have no idea. The eAR is based on European currency, and as you know, currency fluctuates. I have little doubt the shipping would occ... | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Marakanetz, I have heard those criticisms before concerning some digital modular designs. The field is in it's infancy, and will grow unevenly. Tubegroover, I understand. My eAR has not been around much. On some Martin logans, it was matched again... | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Bigkidz and others, it pains me to diss my good old Pass buddies. I'm just a crass consumer after all.. Yes, synergy is important. I am not totally surprised the Spectron took a back seat to the Pass and others. There is room for improvement. The ... | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Aren't we splitting hairs? There is a wide gulf in approach in power production between digital module powered amps and bipolar/mosfet type amps. They just aren't the same. Maybe I am using the wrong code word. I know that TacT is truly digital to... | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? Ah! Daniel, close to my heart. I am driving Apogee Scintillas with the eAR 2. I still have my Aleph P pre amp. My sweet Jolida 100 fitted with terrific tubes has lost out to the cheapy ($150) Liteon, already improved with three cd inserted patches... | |
Is solid state on the brink of extinction? My last solid state was the Pass X600, but my comment extends to every solid state I have ever witnessed. The digital player is the Liteon 2001. My interest is in those who have switched THEIR solid state with THEIR digital.I have honestly told yo... | |
Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano? Khrys, you obviously do not understand. ;-) |
