| For those of us over 60.. Oh man, I’m only 54 and all this seems completely beyond my time old-guy stuff ;-)Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Moody Blues....*shudder*....Not long ago I tried watching some Grateful Dead concerts on line, just to see what the fuss was about. I... | |
| Do speaker cables need a burn in period? Do cables need burn in?Depends on your standards of evidence.If audiophile anecdote is good enough for you, then yes they "need" burn in.But by this same standard of evidence you'll find people who say everything needs burn in, and every tweak wor... | |

| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? sciencecop,How about 47%, would that be better ;) Sure. If you can actually support that claim.Which you haven’t.Today, you can have a pistonic cone that will be well damped and will outperform anything Harbeth’s cone material is doing. So you cla... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? sciencecop,You are being evasive, not "educational" which suggests "education" isn’t your actual motivation in responding to my posts.Of course, nothing in what I’ve posted abandons "real science." That’s just a flip remark to try to make yourself... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? sciencecop,You’ve got to be kidding.So in response to my post, you are giving a link to one speaker manufacturer’s claims for "why our design is better?????"As if that weren’t standard for pretty much every manufacturer/speaker designer to claim?T... | |

| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? It seems to me that Wilson speakers have for a while now entered a bit of a renaissance in terms of the feelings they engender in the high end community. It used to be that Wilson was everyone's favourite whipping boy - that paradigm of the "rea... | |
| Best Loudspeakers for Rich Timbre? schubert,"Rich timbre" is not a description I personally would give the Totem line.I've always found they had a superficially attractive sound - those sparkly highs allied to a deeper coloured midrange, but their completely obvious contouring of t... | |

| Thiel Owners sandy,I put up mine favouring local sale, but it was actually easier to sell them non-locally as I got a lot of interest from people all over. As it was made clear in my ad hat buyer pays shipping everyone inquiring knew this and many wanted to a... | |
| Thiel Owners sandydennis11,When I put my 3.7s up for sale recently I got quite a lot of interest.(Of course, as usual, a bunch of it was flakey, but I did sell them relatively quickly). | |
| Speed kills.... My present speakers are hales t8's (hales has been out of business a long time ago) and they are about as far away from that ideal as you can get. Wait...are you saying you think the Hales T8's are "slow" with transients or something? I sure w... | |
| Gaia do magic to my speaker Something to remember when trying these isolation devices, footers, spikes etc: Changing the height of the speaker in of itself, even by a tiny amount, can change the sound for the listener, as it changes the angle of the tweeter/drivers etc rel... |
