| New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker? Albert,I defer to your superior knowledge most of the time, but c'mon, his room is SEVEN FEET WIDE!!!!Taking into account the width of the speakers, it would only leave less than 4 ft. between them even if they were touching the side walls. If you... | |
| Von Scheikert VR4jr in a small room . 11'X 12', 10' X 11'.....you guys are listening in a closet. You shouldn't even consider a full range floor standing speaker. Set your sights on a good small monitor, you'll never do justice to a medium/large speaker in a room like that.Oz | |
| Phono amp recommendations Here is another recommendation for the K&K phono pre. This is one great sounding phono stage and comes in right at your price limit. Give Kevin a call, you won't be disappointed.Oz | |
| ARIES 3 OR SUPER SCOUTMASTER That's a VERY nice looking rig.....Oz | |
| What so special about electro-static speaker Kal is correct. Maggies are not electrostatics. If by stats one means Martin Logan, I would have to agree, nothing special there. Quads are far better. As far as maggies go, you probably didn't hear them set up correctly. They do take some time an... | |
| Audience Au24 with high current SS amps.... >Could it be that the ribbon tweeters are more sensitive to inductance/capacitance variances during music than regular tweeters?<I think that could very well be. At least for now I will have a late 99 pair of 3.5Rs with brand new ribbon twee... | |
| Audience Au24 with high current SS amps.... First scenario:Midrange and tweeter fuses blow on the left speaker with Classe CA-200 at moderate - high volumes. Fuse did NOT protect tweeter. I suspsected the amp passed DC.Second scenario:This one was the fault of the previous owner who put the... | |
| Review: Von Schweikert Audio VR4 Gen III Speaker I highly doubt that the Jrs. will be able to replace the Gen IIIs. YMMV.....Oz | |
| How good is the phono card in BAT pre-amps? I had the 3i with the phono card several years ago. It was only just good enough. Not anything you would want to use in a highly resolving system.Oz | |
| jolida jd 100 and rca command 5751 Are you lost? Check out the name of this forum.....see what I mean?Oz | |
| Tonearm for Nottingham Spacedeck The Blue Note arms are very good. But you would really need to match them with a cartridge of appropriate compliance. They didn't work very well with a Shelter 501 II or Benz L2. The sound was good, just not great. But I have heard the Borghese wi... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? No names were called. Absurd describes your post, not you.First I apologize for my misunderstanding of your meaning of "low level resolution". In my mind it meant resolving information that is normally not heard, such as sounds well into the backg... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? >lack of low level resolutiondiffuse imagingneed for power<Only your third point is correct. The first two are absurd.Oz | |
| Bryston Amp for Magnepan 3.5R How timely your question is. I just picked up a pair of 3.5rs and bought a Classe CA-200 to mate with them. The Classe is an extremely nice sounding amp. It is very neutral and does not really sound like tubes or SS, it just sounds natural. And th... | |
| What speakers can make a convert of Maggie lovers? I owned a pair of hot rodded 1.6s a few years ago and loved them. After straying from the maggie sound for a while I picked up a pair of 3.5rs last weekend and just took delivery of a Classe CA-200. Boy does this combo just plain make music. Befor... |
