Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
I have pasted below a link to a dutch review for Bose:Bose review with Bo1972's comments Bo1972’s comments can be found at the end of this review. Those interested to read (again) the usual preach of Bo1972 (i.e. Bobby Kingma) should just copy/pas... 
Class A or AB amp for JBL S4700 speakers
Dave, sorry to make a train wreck out of your thread--my first time ever! ;pJust thought you actually knew more than them smartasses and deserve better than all these BS advises--making out imaginary sound from reading/hazy past experiences withou...

Hi guys I am happy to read you have found my post useful. I should apologies for the typos though. I typed it in hurry, plus English is not my first language. :)Xti16, I do not recall the two of us having any disagreements. On the contrary, I have...

Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
Nvp, you are wrong that Stillpoints and Star Sound Tech. use the same technology.Tbg, please take the time to read and think at what I have written. Philosophy and technology are two very different things. Both products aim at draining out unwante... 
Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
Guys, you are missing the point. The goal of the little experiment above was to illustrate that in order to isolate a component one has to minimize as much as possible couplings. I did not recommended placing speakers on pillows nor did I recommen... 
Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
Agear, I suggest the following easy experiment. Place on a normal office table a component that has a fan (which is neither very quiet not very noisy), e.g. a computer or an external hard-drive. After turning on the component, place your elbows on... 
Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
In my opinion the article "Speaker Spikes and Cones – What’s the point" by Dr. Jim Lesurf is very well written. The ones here who have criticized it should realize that this article was intended for non-expert readers (e.g. audiophiles and audioph... 
Stillpoints and reference-level speakers
My experience is that it is next to impossible to have an intelligent conversation with Mr. Bobby Kingma, i.e. Bo1972. It is like talking with Forrest Gump or with a talking parrot. Irrespective of the topic discussed, he will invariably start pre... 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Just a short post to let you guys know that I have replaced the C-2810 pre-amp with the C-3800 pre-amp. I'll elaborate on the differences once the C-3800 is fully burned in. 
Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall
Avantgarde speakers is another example of speakers that very often sound bad at shows. One would not expect this to be the case, as by design the sound they produce should be affected less by the room (unlike in the MBLs). However, audio dealers a... 
Is it possible to have Good Imaging close to wall
Mapman and Audiokinesis, thank you for the stimulating discussion.I’ll start by citing Audiokinesis:Reflections done right are beneficial from the standpoint of envelopment and spaciousness and a sense of immersion, timbre, clarity, and liveliness...
