| BEST SOUNDING SYSTEM FOR THE LEAST AMOUNT OF $$$$ TMR has a pair of Hales T3s for $1300. IME, I am not sure one can get a better sounding "full-range" for the money. | |
| Crutchfield's Speaker Compare That is fun. Too bad I can not listen to 707s on my 707s; maybe later. | |
| Manufacturers with Excellent customer service Lamm has been great to me. Sent my preamp to them for a check up and another trip for a repair. Both times experienced professional process with great communication from Elina Lamm. Preamp shipped back promptly, working perfectly. | |
| Cheap/expensive or expensive/cheap? My basic question was can a lower priced system with good quality accessories potentially sound better than a higher priced system with just the stock cords/ICs. Thanks.My experience is yes but would use the term "enjoy" over "better". I would ra... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Just based my on experience with a different 4 x KT88 amp, I believe quicksilver monoblocks will likely not help. I wanted to enjoy the VAC but the woofers were badly controlled in comparison to the compression driver, no matter the tap used. The ... | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. If only. This may be the most dispiriting thread I've seen out here. You've got to be a miserable, lonely person to ridicule a fellow audiophile and troll/hate on his feline companion. There are some wonderful folks out here but this place needs a... | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? Going from Cardas Twinlink to Purist Venustas speaker cables resulted a surprisingly large reduction in fatiguing high-frequency distortion. Cable swapping is relatively easy and may give you more insight. | |
| Need expert advice re: loud pops. Left, right or both channels? | |
| My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions. I sympathize. The only thing worse is if it happens again:https://radiodustcovers.com/index.html I am very happy with the covers they made for me. | |
| JBL 4367 shoutiness remedies? I do not know Primare. My experience, though, is that this speaker is sensitive to electronics and cables. They are not shouty in the sense of some other horn models and do not have particular room placement quirks. They do require a lot power. I... | |
| Classe Phono Stage The phono board was an option.https://www.manualslib.com/manual/673962/Classe-Audio-Cp-45.html?page=10#manual | |
| How to accurately gauge speaker sensitivity to match with tube amp? My experience is that sensitivity and impedance curve is not the whole picture regarding amplification requirements. That is my sensitive and benign load speakers require a lot of power to sound normal. VTL breaks it down by woofer size. I ignore... | |
| Vandersteen Quatro CT *beginner* questions I have never owned them but have heard the whole upper level line of numerous iterations a good number of times, except the Kento. The quatros are really, really good at chamber music and vocals. I do not think they give up anything to Harbeth alo... | |
| Ever feel like a "low dollar" customer that your dealer doesn't think worth their time? Shout out to Audio Concepts in Dallas. I am not a big spender but they treat me great, which is partly due to me not wasting their time. | |
| Ported versus sealed speakers: is one type better? I agree that that plugging a port does not make the speaker sound like it is a sealed type. It is an easy extrapolation, which is to be expected in forums, but I find it wrong. Bass "type" is a compromised choice made by builders and not in realm... |
