| Decisive moments your your audio journey For me it was in 1999 when a dealer brought a pair of Soundvalves mono amps to my home to demo. That was my first exposure to tubes and I was gobsmacked. I had a pair of Von Schweikert VR4s at the time and I had never heard them sound so good. Fas... | |
| BAT VK3ix an upgrade from Freya +? I had a Line Magnetic 518i and it was a fine amplifier. | |
| BAT VK3ix an upgrade from Freya +? I don’t think the BAT is automatically an upgrade. I had an original VK 3i and later a VK 30 (which I actually won in an internet contest). I honestly thought the 3i was the better of the two, but both are a little on the dark side of neutrality. ... | |
| Snell Type A III vs. Klipsch Cornwall IV I can’t speak to the Snells. But the Cornwall IV is anything but analytical. It is a full sounding speaker with excellent tone. Nothing thin about them. Oz | |
| tweeters /midbass fq zones Anyone who wants to know what you’re babbling about need only watch one of your videos to get a glimpse of what you call “good sound”. I just have to shake my head…. | |
| Does anyone know how to do a search for a component review on 6moons.com? Best bet is to google search the component + sixmoons. Better yet, duck duck go. | |
| Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good??? There are a pair of Dunlavy Audio SC VI for sale at Skyfiaudio in Ridgewood NJ. As per usual, they are asking 80% of retail for a pair of speakers that are 20+ yrs old. I guess it's a good thing they aren't asking more than they cost new. We've... | |
| Von schweikert out of business since Albert's passing? Another former owner here. I bought the VR4 Silvers after hearing them at Hi-Fi 96 in Manhattan and meeting Albert himself. Very nice guy and I enjoyed meeting him and hearing the speakers at the show. I placed an order for the VR4s and my pair sh... | |
| K-horn won't fit, any other corner speakers recommended for a big room? I agree with @mrdecibel Tight in corners is no good for any heritage speaker except a khorn. Even the cornwalls can benefit from being a ft or so away from walls. My LaScalas are a couple of feet away from the corners (where the subs reside) and... | |
| SPL Audio The Phonos preamp has been on radar for some time. It looks like a really good product. Any feedback on that one would be great. | |
| Your single most significant purchase mistake? VAC PA 100/100. Sounded horrible. Took it over to a friend's house. Horrible there too. One week from opening the box to packing the box. Sonic Frontiers Power 2. Very sterile sounding with a midbass bump that was very annoying. Kept this one for... | |
| Florida Audio Expo 2022 @glory LOL, +1 | |
| Lumin D2 or U1 Mini I went directly from the Node 2i to the U-1 mini. See my comments above in this thread. Oz | |
| Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4 While it doesn't go much deeper on paper, the LS II "appears" to have more bass than earlier versions. On about 80% of what I listen to, they are fine on their own. That said, I do have a pair of HSU ULS-15 II subs to augment them. My room is dedi... | |
| Spatial M3 Sapphire or Klipsch Forte 4 @arafiq I had the CW IV for about a year and moved on to the LaScala II. But I stand by what I've said about this latest version of the Cornwalls. Really a great speaker and much improved over earlier versions. Highly recommended. |
