| Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio? @gawdbless -- There are plenty of Interesting points here regarding the mid range preferred by Uccello and Vittora going different ways.The devil's in the detail ;)I would love to and will one day trot off to the UK give the Uccello a listen. The ... | |
| Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio? That is interesting! The first big upgrade I did was replace the B&C 2" horn driver with the BMS 4592. Greg Roberts used the B&C ×××50 at the beginning but changed later.The B&C was good but colored. The BMS was a huge improvement in o... | |
| Has anyone ever heard these speakers by Volti Audio? @gawdbless I would love to hear the Simon Mears Uccello speaker (10,500 UK Sterling) which similar(ish) to the Vittoria. I imagine they sound in a ballpark not all too different. Still, they use different drivers, cross-overs and horns, and lik... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. From my own experience what the Klipschorn Loudspeaker needs is a bigger mid range cone and larger flare say a 3" cone?. That would alleviate the mid range shrill/harshness (for want of better words) and allow the mid octaves to sound unstrained a... | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? In continuation of my respons above a more general observation, one that may "only" be an aspect of realism in sonic reproduction (albeit a very important one), namely the frequency spectrum from some 100-400Hz - or the upper bass/lower midrange. ... | |
| Shotgun with different cables blindjim --A big thank you for your elaborate response. There’s a lot to process here, some of which I’ll ponder later. douglas_schroeder --I call what you are doing running speaker cables parallel. Probably the easiest way calling it that, but o... | |
| Shotgun with different cables Why drawbacks? It can be beneficial to use different wires.kijanki --As per above, exactly my experience as well. Hence my promoting this route. It is done in internal biwire cables. Also, my Acoustic Zen Satori shotgun cables have markings "Hi" a... | |
| Shotgun with different cables Thank you, Al. In light of your technical findings I’m even more confounded why we’re not hearing more about experimentation into this configuration, insofar at least one would assume a theory-laden approach being dominant. I imagine a variety of ... | |
| Has Rel fallen out of favor with audiophiles? ... Now, there is SVS, Rhythmic, PSA etc which have much better specs than the Rels for less $$$. But the question for me is whether they actually integrate with the main speakers as well as the Rel? I use mine for music 95% of the time. Music doe... | |
| Most "Accurate/Realistic" Sounding Speakers? I am a major audio enthusiast and I was listening to some live, non amplified acoustic jazz and I could not help but wonder what speaker sounds that "live"?... Going by the context you’re outlining here I’d say the most live-like or "real sound" a... | |
| Warm-up time. Everything needs a warm up: Speaker surrounds, phono cartridges, amps, preamps. Every dang thing! Enter your text ...The warm-up time of speakers (apart from the run-in time) is rarely mentioned, so nice to see it noticed here. I would say it’s eq... | |
| Subwoofer for classical music listener i don’t imagine I would need quite as powerful or expensive a sub as those who mainly listen to other types of music [than classical], but I may be wrong.Indeed, I believe this rests on a misconception, albeit an understandable one; power and "exa... | |
| JL Audio F110 Vs F112 In my listening room of a little over 13’ x 16’ I find a single SVS SB16-Ultra to blend in very well. I’ve placed it off-center to the right between my two main speakers, and has spent some time aligning it fore/aft to make for the best timing int... | |
| Quad ESL 63- how should it sound? Comparing Quad ESL63 to Klipsch is like comparing very good low wattage Class-A hi-end audio amp to a mega watt P.A amp. Yet as a pairing a low wattage Class-A amplifier calls for high efficiency speakers like Klipsch’s Heritage line, wheres the ... | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? puffbojie --I’m inclined to reiterate: where does your favoritism for Class A designs come from - is it first hand experience with particular pure(?) Class A amplifiers, or is it more like the mere thought of what Class A is said to represent a la... |
