| Audio Physic Scorpio or Vandersteen Signature 3A Scorpios thin sounding! WOW! Mine were great and that was in a 23X28X14 room. If anything I thought they were a little bloated in the upper bass/low midrange freq. The Scorpios were one of those I speakers I sold that I truly regret. Very good spe... | |
| Compare the Acoustic Zen speakers with Silverline The Silverlines hands down! Best monitor I've heard. | |
| Latest Steve Winwood - Excellent Amen! Audiofeil! But, Winwood holds back more talent than Petty could ever muster up. Petty's alright but, no comparison to Winwood! | |
| Unintended lyrics LOL! Doak, don't you mean Micheal Jackson? | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please Brian, I may add this. If you don't have the weight you think you should with the CS 2s then you may look at upgrgrading elsewhere in the chain. It's not the speakers. | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please I never said a SET amp couldn't do sub 1000Hz well. I was trying to say that I've never found a speaker that could do it correctly even though the SET amp was doing it's job perfectly well(like you said better than most other amps) I know what SET... | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please I agree as well John. But, that said to get that 1000Hz down from the SET (IMHO) always required a horn bass. Which was big as a refrigerator and not very practical. Plus, the fact that a two way design with a passive crossover will suck up some w... | |
| Emerald Physics CS-2, Opinions Please Well, I couldn't stand by anymore. The CS 2s are a godsend for me as they work very well with my SET amps on the treble. I've owned more speakers than I care to mention. Forgotten more than most people have a chance to hear.Ranging from $2000.00 t... | |
| Do any speakers image/sound-stage close to walls? I'm surprised at the respones saying you'll be fine. Fact is all speakers (exceptions Klispch korner horn)will do better at least 30" from the front wall and sides or corners. | |
| Why do amps sound different? Amps are like ice cream flavors. I agree with most threads here but, amps embellish certain freq. ranges to tickle our ears. We like what we like! Most really nuetral amps don't sell that well. | |
| Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers? The amps are after the DSP. Listen to them is all I can say. | |
| Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers? Shakey, I hear ya. And believe me I've been there and done that. I was one of those simple,purest approach myself. If my tonearm could have been wired to my speaker terminals and made sweet music then that's how I would have had it. But, this tech... | |
| Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers? You guys are going to love them! I've used a PX4 SET,Decware 2watt SET,300B SET,and 2a3 P/P amps and they all drove the speaker just fine. The speakers are an amp microscope. They will make differences in amps the most noticable than you've ever h... | |
| Robert & Alison-Raising Sand I think the recording is so rich and filled with harmonic complexity that most systems reproduce it as being a poor recording(which it's not). It's not the best recording by any means but, it ain't that bad. It reminds me of my Elvis Costello Alle... | |
| Legacy focus 20 20 speakers I've been standing by on this one. But, I must chime in. I've never in 30 years of this audio journey heard any speaker that didn't benefit from a sub. Exceptions being Vandersteens or some other powered bass speaker and even most of them still ne... |
