| single versus multiple driver? Musicfile,I started with Omega's super 3xrs which is a small floorstander. I was a little dissapointed in the overall balance, which certainlty could be how they are placed in my room(close to front wall). They were surprisingly, a little too warm... | |
| single versus multiple driver? Been there and back and then back again only to leave(kinda).I've had very modest single driver experience so take this with a major grain of salt. Had Ed Schilling;s little horn, and now Omega's Super 3 xrs. In between I've had Magnapan;'s LS3 5a... | |
| Tube amps and iPods Tvad,The ipod amp in question is designed for offices and small rooms and sounds quite good for what it is - a cool way to dock your ipod and get the benefit of tubes in the playback chain. The system I heard them with had them hooked up with a pa... | |
| Berning ZH270 vs 845 SET amp Somewhat off-topic but I had the pleasure of having a friend loan me his berning just prior to my purchase of a shindo montille. The berning is clear, fast and has good power. Another advantage over conventional amps is that the sound can be tailo... | |
| Best "Rock/Pop" Debut Album? Talking Heads '77. I was a college freshman in NYC when this came out. Changed everything for me musically and completely plugged me into the downtown music scene. Still sounds fresh. | |
| Any Lambchop fans here? recommend an album plz. I would try Joe Henry's 'Scar''. In the same vein and very well recorded. Also, try to find things from a group from England called the Bather's - " kellingrove Baby" is a great disk, Finally, somewhat further from this vein I would check out some... | |
| NY Manhattan "New LP's Japon IMPORT Store"? Probably the best jazz record shop in ny is the "Jazz record Center". It is at 236th west 26th St. Most of what they have there is not new vinyl though.good luck | |
| Lavardin IS Reference or IT - anyone heard? I own the IS reference and use them with Devore Gibbon 8's and currently using an Ayre CX-7e as a front end(also considering the RA Opus 21).The lavardin replaced a pair of welborne drd 300b' mono's and a Korneff pre. It goes without saying that y... | |
| Anyone Heard the DeVore Silverbacks? Dodge, I had posted a response and am not sure what happened to it. I had the fortune to hear quite a lot over the past few years and hear are a few standouts in my mind - these are mostly below your budget. Merlin MMX: have always loved the sound... | |
| Anyone Heard the DeVore Silverbacks? I've heard them on 3 occasions. A brief listen at sound by singer driven by BAT tubes(I think). Not that impressed the first time around, but these may have been prototypes that were later revised. 2nd time round was at the Stereophile show was mu... | |
| Merlin Room at 2004 HE Show in NY I heard them and thought they sounded great. Frankly I didn't realize it was a new merlin model. It seemed to have the merlin house sound, which to me means extremely detailed and accurate across the midband, yet smooth at the same time - at least... | |
| Will digital amps make analog amps obsolete? Richard,I have MG-12's with modified crossovers. I am indeed driving them with an HCA-2. I sold my CJ MV 52 prior to buying the maggies so my comparisons of push-pull v. digital where on meadowlard kestral hotrods(which are known to be tube friend... | |
| Will digital amps make analog amps obsolete? They will win a lot of fans. I've been running both push-pull and SET's for the last 6 years. They were both great sounding and great fun. They were also expensive,hot, and somewhat tweaky. My PS Audio, HCA 2 does a great job driving my maggies wi... | |
| Kestrals and SETs? I agree that you should view using a single driver speaker as an experiment. It may or may not make you a convert, but it certainly will teach you quite a bit about the differences b/t dynamics and s.d. horns. In that regard ED's speaker is a no b... | |
| Kestrals and SETs? I'm using Ed Schillings little fostex horn. It's really not about the possibilty of "louder" that interests me with higher eff. single drivers, its what I think is a better compliment to the Fi. Better microdynamics, better coherency and more of t... |
