Greatness: Recognition at last
Warrenh, you've had my attention for awhile now on this product. I didn't see a price for the speakers on the Star Sound website, and would appreciate info about the cost, inclusive of the recommended stand/platform/spike/protective disk package, ... 
Anybody else get a Rowland Concerto?
It is on my short list. I had a brief audition of a used one a couple of weeks ago, and was very impressed. It was driving a large pair of JMlabs - Mezzo Utopias I think - and doing a very competent job. I would expect it to do even better with ot... 
Musical Fidelity Tri-vista 21 DAC
I bought mine new over a year ago and was delighted with the overall improvement in resolution of low level detail, in in spacious three dimensional imaging. At the time, I was driving Electra 906 speakers with the MF A3.2cr power and A308cr pre. ... 
Speakers for a small room, looking for feedback
You may have seen by now the HiFi+ review of the 907Be. Not sure if you have auditioned the 907 Be, or are pretty settled on the ATC's by now. I had the 907Be home for a weekend and liked it very much. I think it fair to describe it as a natural e... 
Looking for DAC suggestions
From my personal experience, I think Elberoth2 has a point worth checking out. I paired a MF Tri Vista 21 DAC with my existing Arcam FMJ 23 CD player. With the amp I had at the time, I thought it was a great all around improvement. However,when I ... 
Jm Lab-which is better?
Note the favorable review of the 907 in issue 33 of Hi Fi +, which I just picked up yesterday. 
Jm Lab-which is better?
I owned the Electra 906 for about a year and liked the music coming through it very much. I just this past weekend had the 907 Be at home to audition side by side with the 927 Be's. I felt the 907 Be to be a very substantial improvement compared t... 
Bookshelf spkrs revisited -Spendor/Dynaudio/FA
Found your thread very worthwhile, since I've been on a similar quest. Recently went to Toronto, and hoped to hear both the Spendor 5se and the Focus 688, for comparable reasons. That is; wondering if the three-way (3 x6 inch drivers plus tweeter;... 
Reference 3A Dulcet-anyone own this?-sound?
I had a pair home for a weekend audition. I have a small listening room, and was very impressed in that context. There was something uniquely immediate and direct about the sound; it was appealing in a way I can't explain in terms of mere detail, ... 
Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be
Well, I like them very much, but I'm still not sure that they are better overall than a really good small monitor for my smallish room (11'x 16'; 8'ceiling; wood floor, drywall); given my musical taste and preference for moderate to low volume lis... 
Going to take the plunge on JM Lab Micro Utopia Be
I heard recently heard the larger Mezzo Utopia Be speakers driven by Jeff Rowland separates, and sounding very fine. The same knowledgable retailer recommends Audio Research VS 110 tube amp & AS Sp-16 tube pre-amp specifically for the Micros. ... 
New marketing tatic what`s your take?
How mortifying. Got my info crossed. Is it correct, at least, that the Revelator is another treated silk dome, or did I get that wrong too? 
New marketing tatic what`s your take?
I happened to get the disk on return from a business trip where I just heard Dynaudio speakers for the first time, so I found it interesting and timely. Granted, the long form advertising could have been more lively, and it could have gone into mo... 
I've finally lost it
I have been going through similar convulsions over the last couple of years. Major investments (relative to my finances)in a series of speaker and electronics upgrades. One of the things I have not regretted in the least was springing for a decent... 
Personal speaker evolution
First; medium sized Mission bookshelves, 727 or 737, or some such. About $400 Cdn 20 years ago. (about 1.32 Cdn = 1Usd now - not sure about the going rate back then)Next, a couple different pairs of Bostons in succession; a floorstander, then a st...
