| Horning Hybrid speaker recommendations I too am friends with the importer, and own the Horning Agathon Ultimates. In my opinion, they are one of the best speakers on the market. Tommy Horning (the designer) is perhaps the first person to correctly implement the Lowther driver; his desi... | |
| Besides Spectral, what else do I try........ Another vote for Goldmund; if you want to save some money, get the Stellavox.Regards,Larry | |
| Spectron Musician II -- deep bass perfomance?? Pataldorr:The Stellavox's are not digital amps.Regards,LarryI am not Sattothestars, but I am an owner of the Stellavox PW1's. :) | |
| lamm vs bat I have owned both the L1 and the BAT VK-50SE. Sonically, the L1 is a superb preamp; my only complaint with it is that the volume control steps are too large.The BAT has all the features one might require but, in my opinion, sounds crappy. It is co... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? The best speaker I have heard is the Alón Exotica Grand Reference System. While it excelled in virtually every audiophile parameter, the bottom line is that it provided the most realistic presentation of recorded music I've experienced. Larry | |
| Kharma CRM 3.2F I recently purchased the LumenWhites as I prefer them to the Kharma 3.2. However, I think the Kharma is a first-rate speaker.Larry | |
| Review: Lumen White White Flame Speaker Audiojerry:Your point about reviews is well-taken, and one I agree with. The Eklipse is still on my list.Larry | |
| Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma... Jordan:The Kharma's are excellent speakers, as others have noted above. The Amati Hmages have a seductive midrange but the high and low extremes are lacking; IMO, quite unacceptable in a $22,000 speaker. I also highly recommend the Lumen White Whi... | |
| Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke? To cut to the chase, horns are not to my liking. While the Avantgards (the best horns I've heard) are not offensive sounding (unlike many of the cheaper horns I've heard), their midrange colorations are unacceptable. Additionally, their subwoofer ... | |
| Review: Klipsch Klipschorn Speaker Am I the only one here who finds their midrange to be dreadfully colored, and to sound like a PA-system?Oh well, to each his own. | |
| Review: Lumen White White Flame Speaker Audiojerry:I just came across this lesss-than-complimentary review of the Eklipse:http://www.positive-feedback.com/Issue1/eklipse.htmLarry | |
| Review: Lumen White White Flame Speaker Audiojerry:Thanks very much for your comments. I am in complete agreement that my preamp and amp are now the weak points of my system and am actively looking for replacements. While I had heard of Audio Valve I know very little about them. I will ... | |
| Review: Lumen White White Flame Speaker Gajgmusic and Zaikesman:Thank you both for your kind comments. To answer some of the questions: The MSRP is $24,000 U.S., and they were already broken in when I got them. The speakers I had immediately before the Lumenwhites were the Von Schweiker... | |
| BAT VK50SE vs CJ 16LS vs ARC 25mrk II/Ref2 I had a BAT VK-50SE and despised it. It was cold and sterile, and one of the least musical preamps I've owned. (Their "super tube" is anything but.) I took a big $ loss when I sold it but there was no way it was going to stay in my system.Larry | |
| Review: Audio Note M5 PreAmp Zaikesamn:"As a side note, I believe I remember seeing a newbrand of 'preamp' being advertised on A'gon a few months back, which was, if I am recalling correctly, basically just an input selector with transformer coupling and attenuation, but I ca... |
