LaScalla "horn" sound compared to "maggie" sound
abnerjack --The potential of the LaScala’s is relative to a combination of factors which may deter somewhat from your present situation. A significant impact is your first listen which, as you already proposed, would take place in different surrou... 
Warm-up time for amps and preamps
There is absolutely no reason why running without input signal would be bad for any class D amp.  This strange advice was given by NuForce technician?  Are they still in business?I believe the above rests on a misconception; it is advised by NuFor... 
Why pay so much for super high end?
The thing about the waves off the back of the driver is that they have an output that is equal to the output into your room. The usual way to deal with that is add MDF bracing upon bracing which adds weight and more weight which lowers the reson... 
Why pay so much for super high end?
Vivid Audio has shaped their drivers which is perhaps more important then shaping the cabinets. The drivers are designed to allow the back waves to flow more freely past the magnet and spider towards the dampening. Looking at most drivers even on ... 
Why pay so much for super high end?
I like MAGICO all there high end lines Q,M3 etc use there own drivers which are much better than Seas,Scan Speak or Accuton they sound much better as well.In the end you get what you pay for.It's all about the implementation. It's the same tune of... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
Cheap Chinese cabinets. As for overpricing, since there are a lot of people who don’t earn but make a lot of money, why not try and cash in, Danes and others think ? They play ’the stupid and ignorant’ card, and often it works. Besides, Europeans ... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
One reason for that sal is that Art doesn’t consider "vowel colorations" (as J. Gordon Holt coined them) particularly bothersome, or very high on his list of priorities in a loudspeaker. I couldn’t disagree more. The first good loudspeaker in th... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
[...] I wish that there were more current makers that are interested in the old-school sound that I like, other than the few makers of ultra expensive and massive systems like those using ALE, Cogent and Goto drivers.Exactly my thought as well; a ... 
Why do so few low power amplifiers using 300B have balanced inputs?
Most designers think that there is no point to adding a balanced input to such an amplifier.What would be the point? 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
You are correct, this shows a lot of experience in being rude.... That’s the point... telling people that they don’t count.... opinions without supporting experience is just noise. Read through the post, enough was said... I’d say the point is tha... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
Nationality is always an issue, listen to any Dane but don't ask them. Listen to Americans too.Perhaps territoriality is a more fitting term..Even if it is a dogma, it can still be a correct statement.It can, yes, but do you consider that to be a ... 
Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room?
Do we really need anything more than 8" woofer and 1" tweeter for medium size room?I once owned a pair of S.P. Technology Timepiece 3.0’s - lovely speakers. It featured a low fs 8" Seas woofer/mid and a 8-10" waveguide loaded 1" tweeter from SB ac... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
That's probably the reason why he put class A Gryphon older reference amp in there - to make digital sound a little nicer. When he puts real analogue source and either full Chord or full Gryphon electronics chain, then I will listen to that system... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
johnk, Why do you have trouble understanding that 30s speakers may perform as well or better than current speakers FOR YOU and your listening preferences, but others find that much progress has been made since then and prefer current speakers. I’d... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
What a waist. Listening to a great pair of speakers with cd player instead of turntable or reel to reel deck. At the very least they could’ve done full Gryphon electronics, why Chord and Gryphon in one chain?inna --Waste is not a thought that occu...
