| 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... | |
| Vandersteen VLR CT "Anyone know if there are any changes to the mid/woofer driver in the VLR CT?"I have to wonder if Vandersteen had to in part raise the rent on VLR Wood by changing the tweeter to "CT". Surely they changed the binding posts as well. That is a big p... | |

| Higher Efficiency Speakers Audiokinesis speakers are terrific and are commonly married to Atma-Sphere. Duke LeJeune has great taste in sound. They are front loaded horn hybrids but strike me as a blend of a wave guide, although I may stating this out of turn. Fatigue free s... | |
| any speakers using all Scanspeak Classic drivers? The old YG Anat, although the woofer is partially a revelator is my understanding | |
| Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades With thirty thousand dollars of distance between (not considering the difference is typical amp pairing) them I have to wonder from a marketing perspective why these two particular models are of interest. | |
| Nature of the current used speaker market I remember the used market being a cheap, nominal listing fee and being able to find almost anything one wanted in a short time period. Used market prices were stable. Now is there is next to nothing, and ads are commonly filled with items with fr... |
