| Raidho speaker owners, what solid state amplifier do you use? Lars Kristensen has spoken warmly of the Naim Nait being a lovely match with the Raidho's. | |
| Proac One SC - Do thet perform well at low volume? Something else to think about...Doesn't the amp play a role in low volume performance ?Something like PP amps usually sound better turned up just a bit where as SET amps do best when barely turned up (that 1st watt thing for SET's) .Anybody ?Agree... | |
| Proac One SC - Do thet perform well at low volume? Usually when speakers are on the lifeless side at lower volumes I tend to find them dull sounding even at higher volumes, and so typically it’s a give-away. The ability to "ignite" sonically at lower volumes (in retrieving detail resolution) is on... | |
| Do supertweeters matter when we cant hear past 15,000 hz? I’d wager any audibly perceived difference for the better with the addition of a "super tweeter" has little to none to do with frequencies extending 17-20kHz, but rather that the tweeter in question is better at handling the frequencies that are a... | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure ..and having heard the 15" that goes into khorns,what is it another by product from Electro voice...come on now..missioncoonery -- Don’t go throw out the baby with the bath water. Please elaborate on your "having heard the 15 inch" in question - I... | |
| If money was and was not of any concern when buying speakers. Money no concern: I’d probably second the choice of Living Voice’s Vox Olympian & Elysian, given the listening room can accommodate them properly - which hopefully wouldn’t be an issue with monetary carte blanche. Battery-driven amps and sourc... | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure Klipsch could be a whole lot better, a whole lot. To say that they are ’crisp’ is an understatement. Klipsch uses very mediocre drivers. Crisp is a good way to describe that tweeter.....Lol. I wonder if anyone who likes Klipsch has ever heard a gr... | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure phusis, you read way too much into my comments. I realize that K-horns have characteristics beyond volume and that many people love them. But that's the point - K-horns (and horns in general) have a set of unique qualities and they are a good ma... | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure I consider myself a neutral observer in this matter. One of my best friends has K-horns, though I don't. It's been a long time since I needed their capacity for "loud", my house isn't a good fit for them, and, mainly, I happen to prefer other trai... | |
| klipschorns, they kick ass for sure A high light of the days when I attended the national Acoustical Society meetings was a debate between Edgar Villchur (sp?) and Paul Klipsch during which Klipsch said "I don't care if you push it with a broom handle, you still have to move the air... | |
| solid state gear- leave on? I never leave my Belles SA-30 Class-A poweramp left on 24/7. Non-weekends I turn it on late afternoon or early evenings, and often leave it running till bedtime (sometimes late; I'm a night owl, for as long as it allows). Weekends it can run for e... | |
| Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection. [...] the time-coherent speaker sacrifices the least & is very close to doing it all. Every genre of music plays superbly on it & the better one’s electronics get, the better the speakers sound. Music enjoyment for the long-haul.... bombay... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. Klipsch makes great speakers. Very dynamic, very accurate, something that audiophile speaker lacks severely.Never heard the original "heritage" series (K-horns, Belle, La Scala, etc.), but based on my own speakers which are build around the design... | |
| DAC vs. Preamp [...] I'm getting the opinion that almost no one thinks going without a preamp is a good idea. I thought that would be the case.I beg to differ. Check out Srajan Ebaen's review of the SOtM sDP-1000 DAC/preamp with volume attenuation in the analogu... | |
| Klipsch love them or hate them. Horns provide a very forward, immediate sound, with lots of presence. Too much presence, having a severe "cupped-hands around a mouth"/"pinched nose" coloration that quickly becomes irksome. The worst speakers, by far, I've ever heard for vocals. ... |
