| Just moved - sound destroyed I think somebody forgot to check the date of this thread ;-) | |
| Upgrading of Minimus 7's Oh man, blast from the past. I had the Minimus 7s as a teenager. Never knew anything about them in terms of reputation at the time, but they absolutely amazed me with their sound. They sounded so weighty given their size. Perfect for a room th... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 sciencecop,Best not to characterize a previous conversation that anyone here can look up. Remember, anyone can click that link and see how that conversation went ;-)It’s funny you came in to the thread claiming I "keep feeding the forum misleading... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 @soixYou might want to take a gander at this thread to see get a taste of the way sciencecop argues, won't back down from an obviously rash claim, and ignores contrary evidence:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/best-loudspeakers-for-rich-timb... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 So sciencecop claims the JA speakers sounded "awful" and not clean. Virtually every other discerning listener has found the opposite.Including Atkinson who I'm sure is far more experienced measuring speakers/correlating them to audible artifacts.... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 LOL, again sciencecop? This didn’t go terribly well for you last time you tried hanging on to an indefensible claim against evidence to the contrary, concerning specific speakers with which you apparently had no experience. (Remember your trying t... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 freesole,I'm just offering insight on the JA Perspectives mostly because it's hard to find people with much experience listening to them aside from hearing them at shows. And since you (and others) have heard the Magicos, I don't think giving my ... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 @freesoleYou’ll find detailed descriptions from my auditions of the Magico A3 and Joseph Audio Perspectives in my thread here (along with many other speakers):https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/contemplating-devore-speakers-and-others-long-aud... | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 freesole,I agree about the way the Magico speakers "disappear" as sound sources. Very impressive.FWIW, the Joseph Perspectives also have that quality. | |
| Magico A3 vs. Joseph Audio Perspective vs. Spendor D9 I auditioned the Magico A3s, have listened to the Perspectives numerous times including in my home, and have only heard the Spendors at an audio show (where they frankly shocked me how good they sounded).They are certainly different sounding spea... | |
| My daughter practing snare, bells this aft...... Hard for any speaker system (well, within the reach of most mere mortal incomes) to pull off a truly realistic full band sound.But for single instruments...My MBL 121 omnis can be remarkable. I have recordings of my son playing sax, my other son ... | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? I prefer them flush on the floor - no spikes, no rubber footers (e.g. no Isoacoustics). At least in my case, in my room, my Thiel 2.7 speakers just seem to have the most bass grip without being raised on anything.They sit on a rug, over hard wood ... | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? dumbeat,You are asking for actual objective evidence rather than anecdote. That is verboten in the realm of cables ;-)Your experience in taking off the footers and leaving your speakers flush on the floor was similar to my own. I tried some Isoa... | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? Finally, a word about cables. Studio use of cables has little relevance to domestic systems and cables. Beg to differ. The job of the audio cable is the same in either case: Transmit the signal with as little signal loss and interference/distortio... | |
| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? Judging on how long I've owned them: My Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monoblock amps.I bought them in the late 90's as I remember and they've been my main amplifiers since. Such a hard to find combo of tube lushness yet focused, punchy and well... |
