| Best isolation cones Schubert, you might be onto something. In the past I've always used Herbies with great results. The components used were of moderate weight and benefited from the Tenderfeet. Being so heavy, I just plunked my Marantz reference amp and SACD player ... | |
| Best isolation cones I prefer Herbie's Tenderfeet. His stuff is proprietary (you can't go to a store and buy a cheaper alternative) and varies from product to product depending on application. They isolate, absorb and can deflect small caliber bullets. All the best,No... | |
| In defense of ABX testing Swampwalker, totally in the playful spirit intended.In fact, after posting, I looked back at it and it seemed a bit succinct and could be interpreted in lots of ways. I should have followed it with a :-)All the best,Nonoise | |
| New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k Also, I get your meaning on a speaker that can be too fast. For 5 years I loved the Tonians for what they can do. The music seems to be lit up from within and one can hear all manner of complexities with ease. They start and stop on a dime. They c... | |
| New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k My room is on the small side being about 15' X 10' with my speakers along the long wall, about 10' apart, 1 1/2 ' from the front wall and I sit about 7' back from the plane of the speakers with my head about 1' from the rear wall. It opens on one ... | |
| In defense of ABX testing Nice one Swampwalker. | |
| New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k After_hrs,Thanks for the offer but I still have about a hundred hours of break in before I settle on these speakers so as to not kick myself in the rear for not trying something else :-)I'm curious about something you mentioned on another thread a... | |
| In defense of ABX testing Since the flatter and more accurate frequency response was the most desirable I can see why speaker manufacturers should heed the results and simply strive to make speakers that behave as such. It just makes sense. I also like your note that this ... | |
| In defense of ABX testing To properly assess something you have to immerse yourself in it. Moods and attitude can change very often but we still remain who we are. We assess things quickly but it's honed on a casual basis (learning curve) until it becomes second nature to ... | |
| Hey Elizabeth Where you be?? It's too bad she's not actively posting here as I and many others here agree with her frustration but we all keep posting the same way and with the same convictions and generally get the same results.And yes, I do miss her directness, bluntly spea... | |
| New Bookshelf speakers u love 3k to 6k I'm presently breaking in some Clearwave Duet 6 monitors and they're at the $3K range you mentioned. These are some truly remarkable speakers that come across as so naturally balanced, top to bottom, that this is the first time I won't even consid... | |
| In defense of ABX testing This dead horse has been flogged for so long that it's turning me into a vegetarian. | |
| My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow One thing I forgot to mention: I'm presently breaking in some monitors from the Peoples Republic of Pennsylvania and don't feel a lick of guilt about it. In the end, it's just a pair of speakers.All the best,Nonoise | |
| My Triton Ones are being delivered to me tomorrow Not too long ago a study was done to determine just what in your home was made overseas. I believe it turned out to be just about everything. Patriotism and morals aside, what more can one do?I know that there are deplorable conditions overseas an... | |
| determing reflection points I think one way is to sit at your listening position and have someone hold and move a mirror along the wall and when you can see the drivers, that's the first reflection point.It's a very rough approximation but it should do in most cases.All the ... |
