| Are Talon speakers really this great? Dearle, I'm sorry, but a 6.5 inch woofer can't handle bass down to 25 Hz worth a damn. Maybe in a parallel universe where the laws of physics don't apply. | |
| TUBE or SS? Virtually everyone who has responded is a bit misinformed. Power amps don't have a sound on their own. As such, they can't be dynamic or detailed. It is the speaker/amp combination that provides the sound. Certain combinations can be more dynamic ... | |
| Is there an alternate to Martin Logans? Sorry Will, but regardless of how good it sounds, I could never own something called the BAM. Too embarrassing. Moreover, for 3K he can buy used reQuests which would smoke those Merlins. | |
| Are Talon speakers really this great? Only a sucker would spend $4500 for a 2 way mini-monitor or $12,000 for a 2 way floorstander. | |
| How good do SACD players play normal CDS Since you're not serious about what equipment you have, why should anyone take your advice about the CD50? | |
| How good do SACD players play normal CDS Carl, I'm not joking about the speakers. I have five systems currently set up in my home. The Duos are in the sunroom and are powered by custom Fi2A3 monoblocs with a VAC CLA1 MK II preamp. Current source is a Sony SCD777ES SACD player. The Genesi... | |
| How good do SACD players play normal CDS To Carl, I use AvantGarde Duos, Apogee Divas, Dunlavy SC-IVs, Genesis Vs and Martin Logan reQuests. Do you have a problem with any of those speakers? Not everyone is enamored of that Resolution Audio junk. Get over it. | |
| How good do SACD players play normal CDS and don't listen to those folks who claim that the ear bleeding Resolution Audio CD50 is better. Be especially distrustful of those who claim to have owned a Meridian 508.24, Wadia 860 and a CD50. These people either don't know what good sound is,... | |
| Audio Physic Virgo Solid State Amps ? Stay away from the BEL. It is junk and one of the biggest ripoffs in the high end. You wouldn't believe how little a BEL costs to make. | |
| Krell Amplifiers FPB? Because the original FPB stereo amps are butt ugly. | |
| Legacy Audio Stuff It's junk. Only for the inexperienced and the deaf. | |
| What the heck is Resolution Audio Buy it only if you want your ears pierced. | |
| Avante Garde horn speakers..... They are fantastic. They need to be set up properly, however, otherwise the woofer won't blend well with the horns. When set up properly, however, they make a mockery of most high end speakers I could name. | |
| Classe or Krell Krell is competent, but you'll need to decide if it works well in your system. I've heard the CA400 at length via Apogee Divas and I'd have to say it was one of the worst sounding high end amps I've heard...dull and hazy. | |
| Talon Audio Khorus??? Beware. I'm not saying they don't sound good, since I've never heard them. I do, however, know that the moderators at the Audio Asylum have been deleting the posts of someone, who has been posing under various names, and touting the speaker. Sound... |
