| YG speakers: What do you like most and least about them? For those who heard YG how do you like them compared to similar priced magico like S...That's a no-lose situation.YG is sparkly and ribbon-like. Magico is more damped. | |
| Yg carmel 2 owners I have only head them a few times. Typically they were setup as described by Stereophile in that instead of having a bloated bass facsimile like so many 2-ways, the bass is shelved off and is very dry. In a very small room a Dallas dealer had plac... | |
| Wilson's Chronosonic XVX loudspeaker over 3/4 of a million US dollars When Wilson markets a PTS to match your Ferrari, they mean it. That is kind of the market for this except the question is which of my Ferrari's? According to Stereophile it is $329,000. The limited oligarch-grade WAMM Master Chronosonic is $850,00... | |
| Audio Furniture has its own sound! Congratulations on your experiments. I had a Flexy with single-layer MDF and did not realize how bad it sounded until I changed to an Ikea Lack table as suggested a long time ago by a gentlemen who home-made for sale his own shelves. My take is th... | |
| High value, giant killer speakers? I was auditioning speakers for a couple years; the Ryan R630 made me really question spending more for the something else. Without doubt they regular cones-in-a-wood-box type of speakers, but wow, they are really well executed. Didn't find much im... | |
| Tube Amp recommendation for Wilson Yvettes other than ARC I don’t know to what extent, but Doshi amplifiers are made to suit Wilson speakers. They are commonly seen at shows. I own VAC which is another line with decent wattage and adjustable output impedance. | |
| Speaker for my system around 10K$, used. The JBL is relatively versatile in room setup and size. I own them and have heard in very small rooms and very big rooms. It can do both. The bass extension is more limited than people tend to believe; I am in a personal debate about getting subs,... | |
| Integrated Amplifier for KEFLS50's or Bowers & Wilkins 706 S2's My desk system is an H160 with a pair of 707s2 (which are less sensitive than the 706) and think it is perfectly fine. I have only compared it to Classe 70, NAD 314 and Lamm/VAC combo. My impression of the Hegel is that is very even handed through... | |
| The Music Room - Boulder Colorado I like TMR because they have great descriptions of the condition of their items, along with detailed pictures. I purchased an int. amp from them once, which went perfectly. | |
| High Efficiency Loudspeakers I heard them in the 9.87 system but can not differentiate them from the times I head that system with paper drivers. Their speakers are more specific than the just cone material, of course. I will guess that you will not get a good answer in forum... | |
| Imported audio are you getting the same level of performance vs domestic priced equip? I am not in to the idea of a singular, objective promised land in audio, so the premium paid for being part of the bigger world of imports just has to be acknowledged as part of that item's story with the benefit being an expanded selection. There... | |
| New Magico A1 Bookshelf Speakers! Its part of a suite for HT/multichannel including a sub and CC. My biggest question is how the A1 will handle bass tradeoffs, and another is if Magico will offer factory stands. It's great they are continuing with the sealed cabinets. Magico seems... | |
| Could-care-less Manufacturers and Authorized Dealers Bash Lamm and Woo Audio could care less, but they don't. I have had excellent service experiences with each. | |
| Avantgarde Zero 1-XD availability I would ask these people. I believe Angie, whom I met at a show, is the NA distributor. Maybe you are not so far away from Richmond Hills, anyway. In case you are not yet aware, aware there is also a TA ("semi-active") version of the Zero. I reall... | |
| Electrostatic pros and cons. The main pro I would say is the very low distortion with their air-damped diaphragm. They have a high resolution and high articulation that gives a crystalline, yet fatigue-free sound. The other pro is that as a line source, one can sit very far a... |
