| Blue Ridge Sound HR 1 I doubt you will get an answer to this question. Notice that this member has "0" feedback and only 1 active thread. That's it! Draw your own conclusions.Oz | |
| Are you at this point?? You SHOULD be motivated to purchase an analog front end, right here on the 'Gon, even.Oz | |
| New Von Schweikert VR SR4 mk11 Cream or Crap ??? I heard the Mark I version and was not impressed. I heard the DB-99 at the same demo and it was a far better speaker. I would also say that the VR4 Gen III SE sounds better to my ears than the Sr.Oz | |
| I have Maggie MG 1.6's - need amp advice Contrary to popular belief, the 1.6s don't need nearly as much power as the 3 series maggies. Actually, I found them to sound better with tubes. But you will need a good solid 100-150 watts of tube power, but the coherency and midrange you get wil... | |
| 1st Order Xovers....A question of absolute volume. After speaker with Roy, it sounds like the Europas have a bad tweeter, more than likely caused by the previous owner underpowering them. Since I have no way of confirming/denying that I caused the damage, I have offered to pay for new tweeters. So... | |
| Promitheus TVC preamp Yep, there's no comparison between the Placette passive and a TVC. I haven't heard the active version, so can't comment there. Oz | |
| Green Mountain Audio Imagos Well to try and take this thread back on topic, looks like I am going to go for the Imago in their vIII iteration. If I like what I hear, I will send the xovers back to Roy to bring them up to current status.Glad you guys could amuse yourself........ | |
| Speakers to replace Martin logan Prodigys I agree with Tvad. I owned the VR4 Silvers for over 3 years and I don't think they would ever work well up against a wall. In fact, they should be in medium - large rooms and placed well away from walls so the bass doesn't become overpowering and ... | |
| Silverline Sonata II or III owners Yohjo,You are describing the sound of the Sonata IIIs, which should be vastly different than the IIs since they use all Dynaudio drivers. And I was definitely using tubes on my Sonata IIs. I am not saying they are bad speakers, but just had shortc... | |
| Silverline Sonata II or III owners The sound I am talking about was first heard on jazz guitar, and I am guessing here, around 500-800 Hz. I can tell you the first thing I heard it on was Russell Malone's guitar on a Diana Krall disc. The sound was smeared and had a "cupped hands" ... | |
| Silverline Sonata II or III owners I agree with Mike. I owned the v2 Sonatas for a brief while. They are extremely dynamic and will play effortlessly, but are a little bottom heavy and have a boxy coloration in the midrange. I didn't pick up on it right away, but after I heard it o... | |
| Green Mountain Audio Imagos No, I didn't find that when I searched. Thanks.Oz | |
| McCormack DNA-1 compared to Parasound HCA-1500A Buy a Bryston if you want hi-fi sound, buy a McCormack if you want music.Oz | |
| McCormack DNA-1 compared to Parasound HCA-1500A I'm no SS expert, being a tube guy. But all McCormack amps have sounded good to my ears. I have owned the standard DNA-1, DNA-2 and DNA-1 Deluxe monoblocks and liked them all. Especially the monoblocks. Coda also makes some very nice sounding SS a... | |
| Unable to audition used speakers a problem >This is one reason why I listen to my system at the same volume control setting for every recording,<I don't get how you can do this. Every recording has a volume level where it "locks in". For example, you wouldn't want to play simple "gir... |
