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...

[...] 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...

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...

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...

So much for using moon travel as an analogy :) Sorry if it caused a derailment of the thread..Well, on sound quality, I guess we'll have to disagree and leave it at that. I intend to look for better sound in new products and I hope that someday y...

tomcy6 --Thanks for your reply.As 213runnin pointed out, we could go back to the moon today but we couldn’t do most of what’s being done today in the 60s. Go to Space.com or the Hubble Telescope website to see some awe inspiring pictures. People w... 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
Well, space travel is irrelevant, but since it was brought up…Perhaps you didn't notice me referring to it as an analogy.. 
Loudspeakers have we really made that much progress since the 1930s?
tomcy6 --I think that we could send people to the moon more safely and comfortably and be able to gather much more useful data now than we could in the 60s.Whether we could is not the issue. The point is we still haven't, and that they got to the ...
