| Sonics of Soundlabs I will agree that the Innersound Eros III's are outstanding speakers. The integration of the woofer and panels is remarkable. And, their transparency and speed are as good as any speaker that I have ever heard. However, I just could not live with ... | |
| Sonics of Soundlabs A good place to ask questions about SL speakers as well as carry on dialog is the Soundlab owners group and they have a forum:http://www.soundlabowners.com/forum/index.htmlSoundlab speakers are large, a bit delicate, and sensitive to handling (shi... | |
| Eminent Technology LFT-VIIa Are you inverting one and placing it on top of the other (the old Advent method)? | |
| New H20 Signature S250 I have run my Bel Canto evo4 on a friends Soundlab U2's and was not happy at all. The sound was immediately thin and bright'ish. Just no body and little emotion. Yet on my Magnepan 3.6's, the sound with the evo amplifier was outstanding. The LC ou... | |
| Anyone heard SP Technology loudspeakers?... I believe the Timepiece is based on the work of Earl Geddes, a renown pro-audio engineer/scientist who used to work for JBL but is now a top level consultant. The dominate idea is to cross the low frequency driver over to the high frequency driver... | |
| what solid state amps for the soundlab u-1 The U2 is now discontinued but, was basically a smaller version of the U1 - a no holds barred electrostatic speaker. In fact I believe Soundlab will still make a U2 if requested. It was not discontinued for being old or out of date, just that Soun... | |
| what solid state amps for the soundlab u-1 The Innersound ESL-300 works fine with U2's so, I would assume it would work equally well with the U-1's. This is one generation removed and I have not heard the current genertion Innersound amps but, one can only assume they would work equally we... | |
| Maggies 3.6 vs 20.1 You can get a quality active crossover for the 3.6 from this place:http://www.magnepanstudio.de/Magneplanarstudio-uebersicht.htmSorry that it is in German but, email them and Mr. Schneider will respond in English. His English is excellent. The cro... | |
| Maggies 3.6 vs 20.1 You really need about 7' behing the 20.1's to make them really shine. So you need a relatively large room. If you have the room, the 20.1 is more coherent through the crossover regions and, goes a little lower in bass response. Also a bit more dyn... | |
| Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr. I don't know that the VR-4 jr's would be my first choice in the $4K price range either but, they would certainly be among the handful of contenders at that price range and, they image beautifully. Like all speakers, set up is important. I heard th... | |
| Anyone hear the Caravelle speaker and not like it? I believe this speaker should be compared with the SP Tech Timepiece 2.1's and, the Lipinski L707's. Although both of these are less expensive than the Caravelle, they are similar in that they belong to the larger monitor full range type speakers.... | |
| Very Small Desktop Speakers Try Blue Sky. I have not heard the media set but, the reviews are very good and one person who posts quite often on these Audiogon discussion threads sells them. I like what I read about them. http://www.abluesky.com/p_s_gb/p3s7.html | |
| Please recommend some active speakers I like the SP8 because it is sufficient in low frequency reach that you probably don't need a sub. There is also the SP6 which is a little smaller. Still pretty good frequency reach too - so you may not need a sub. Anyway size should be a fairly e... | |
| Very Small Desktop Speakers One possible full range option is Blue Sky MediaDesk. Suppose to be very good but, I have not heard them. http://www.abluesky.com/p_s_gb/p3s7.html | |
| Please recommend some active speakers At the budget you have, you might want consider any one of several very good studio monitor type speakers that work equally as well in mid-field environments such as the Event Studio Precision 8. http://www.event1.com/index.htmlAlexis and Mackie a... |
