| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? erik,Out of curiosity, when you say your speakers sound exactly like what you want: what do they sound like? What were the characteristics you were going for? | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? The metaphysical and the scientific. Until we have testing equipment that can test things outside the reach of science right now, only our opinions can be our reasoning. Does science know all about the behavior of atoms and electrons? I don't thin... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Andy,If your system is so unstable that it alters sound when you change cables, maybe it's not good enough.;-) | |
| Can you live with your current speaker until you die? Never believe an audiophile who says he can live with a speaker until he dies...until he dies.Before then, we know what happens. ;-)In my case, I know myself: it's exceedingly unlikely that I will use only the same pair of speakers for the rest... | |
| How about a list of speakers that are time and phase coherent? Thiels and what else? From that speaker design article by JA, on time/phase coherence:"Many loudspeakers are claimed by their manufacturers' marketing departments to be time-coherent. There are also a number of speakers that have sloped front baffles, implying that the... | |
| Does this image give you claustrophobia? The placement of the speakers certainly makes me edgy.I mean...c'mon! | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? djones51,I guess my system is junk. Oh well life goes on. I feel your pain. Drat, someone on an audio forum has declared that if I don’t perceive obvious differences between cables, my system isn’t good enough. What will I do????I’ve been stuck wi... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? robert_1, For most people, instead of learning and understanding science they choose to follow the blind, and have a justification to their foolish (ego trip) quests to brag about their latest piece of equipment. It is mostly about the hardware sp... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers BTW, Really cool binaural video report of the new Devore flagship prototype "O" speakers - a double system, two speakers per side with one doing the lower bass (presumably).I found the sound through the binaural recording on my headphones sounded ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I'd guess the Reynauds can't be too bright, or owners may have complained (though I've heard another report or two from people who thought they were a bit too bright).I used to heard all the JM Reynaud speakers at a local store including the floor... | |
| Thiel Owners Did one of my occasional searches on hi fi shark. Various speaker brands.Boy has the used market on Thiel 3.7 and 2.7s dried up! So few for sale for quite a while. Looks like most people are keeping theirs! | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? blueranger,Do any of the nasayers believe in equipment break in? Tube break in? Speaker break in? To be clear: I'm not a "naysayer" in the sense I claim cable burn in doesn't happen. I've just found the arguments I encounter FOR it aren't very co... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? taras22,Thanks for the invite. I might be at the Toronto show (hope to go).No worries, I'm not a leafs fan (not a hockey fan - I'm a bad Canadian that way). Oh, and I don't take any of these discussions seriously in terms of personalities or ho... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Congrats skyscraper. I've heard the Magico A3 and although in that audition they weren't my cup of tea, the showed lots of promise and had some stunning sonic qualities. I came away thinking they had to be one of the great current audio bargai... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I noticed a pair of JM Reynaud Offrande Supreme 2 speakers for sale on Audiogon. And at an excellent price.I have to admit that created a little tug of "should I?" That was one of the speakers that I still found intriguing after auditioning them... |
