| Thiel Owners @thieliste The shag carpet combined with underpad is pretty thick. No I'm not having stability problems without the carpet spikes. You can wiggle the speakers a big if you grab them, but they feel solid and not easy to push over. I never a... | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW: I mentioned earlier in the thread that I was trying some Isoacoustic Gaia 2 footers for the Thiel 2.7. Not sure I followed up, so... My speakers sit on a shag rug overlaying a wood main floor. The floor clearly vibrates around the speaker... | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? Most of us don’t have fully dedicated "man cave" rooms so aesthetics are still a factor. Speakers become essentially a piece of furniture, and I’m going to be looking at those speakers while listening for years. It counts if what I’m looking at is... | |
| Wilson to Tekton to ???? Don't worry about looks (assuming that is a possibility for you, I know some people can't get past looks) and just think about how they sound. That photo certainly has me worrying about the looks! I don't think it is generally possible to ... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) @jbhiller I'm tempted too and I have no reason to be buying any more loudspeakers! Ha ha! Same here. Sort of. I have enjoyed some of the new vogue for old school wider baffle/bigger driver speakers (as my Devore thread attests to). So ... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) I read the Stereophile Source Point 10 review (couldn't help myself, grabbed a subscription). Yup, they measured quite well. Both the measurements and JA's impressions seemed to align with what I felt I heard - Full, weighty bass, generally s... | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) Thanks very much fsonicsmith! Ultimately I buy on what I hear, but I do find it interesting to see how a speaker measures. It's interesting to find some correlation between what I hear (or a reviewer hears) and the measurements. | |
| New MOFI speaker (Andrew Jones) fsonicsmith: The stereophile review isn't online yet. How did they measure? | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls Good to hear arafiq. I'm actually borrowing a friend's Bryston 4B3 again to swap from my CJ Premier 12 tube monoblocks. I'd tried it before with my tube pre-amp - liked some things but definitely preferred my Premier 12s. However I'm curious to... | |
| All New Monitor Audio Concept-50 Time-Aligned Loudspeakers : Major-Breakthrough ?! The Hammerpede creatures from the movie Prometheus. The Monitor Audio speakers immediately brought those to (my) mind. :-) | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls Wow, it's a Joseph Perspetive-Festival! We will all be listening to our new Perspectives pretty soon. | |
| All New Monitor Audio Concept-50 Time-Aligned Loudspeakers : Major-Breakthrough ?! | |
| Joseph Audio: Perspectives and Pearls @rsf507 That's great! It's always nice when other people seem to hear what I hear. Yeah, that purity of tone! I wrote in my other thread about listening to an Emily Barlow track with piano, vocals and other instruments, and the authenticity o... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Really? Her whole style is built on her idiosyncratic phrasing. | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Sometimes when I’m reading a book and listening to music, whenever I reach for the remote to move to a different song, it’s always Holly Cole. Don’t know what’s about her music but I can’t stand to listen to her for more than 30 seconds. It's h... |
