| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? kcpellethead,Don’t forget if you aren’t happy with the Perspective’s sound at first (tonal balance or whatever) to experiment with seating distance, spread, toe in etc.Due to their crossover/driver design, they remain very coherent even up close s... | |
| The Absolute Sound vs Stereophile stevecham,I also miss those days in the 90's when Stereophile was thick as heck and the read lasted a long time!Dem were da days. | |
| if I buy an ultrasonic cleaner for my records will I be able to hear the difference? rrmThe original price of the Degritter was just over 2,000 Euros. I don't know if it will cost the same, less, or more once production starts (and they are producing the first batch now).I got in on the orders before they closed and I'm expecting... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? kcpellethead,I’m looking forward to your view of the JA Perspective speakers. I believe I’ll be ordering a pair soon after an extensive bunch of speaker auditioning. But then, they fit the criteria I’m juggling, one of which is to downsize from a ... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @sciencecopHa, love the screenname! If you’d read some of my input into other threads, e.g. my giving the skeptical case in the cables forum, you’d see people probably think I ought to have your screen name :-) If you think I’m arguing that measur... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? sciencecop,Sure, the Devores don’t measure as linear as some other speakers. (Though not as bad as some either). But....Note that even JA after measuring and then listening in his place, stated:Even though I knew about the low-treble resonance and... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? kcpellethead,FWIW: I've auditioned the Devore speakers numerous times now, and have found that the right distance is pretty critical. I have to be 8 feet back at least, at which point they snap in to focus both tonally, coherence, and soundstagin... | |
| Wilson Audio Sabrina . . . I'm smitten. Should I consider others? @kcpelletheadYou haven't mentioned yet: What did you think of your audition of the Devore speakers?It's been a while since I heard the Magico S3, but having auditioned a bunch of speakers lately I personally preferred the Devore 0/96 and 0/93 to... | |
| Thiel Owners BOXING THE THIELS: A Sort Of Tutorial:As this is something of a knowledge dump for Thiel speaker owners, I figure I may as well relay my recent packing experience with the big 3.7s. Who knows, maybe it will come in handy for someone down the line ... | |
| Thiel Owners Agreed about amps. When I had to take my CJ monoblocks in for repair that was nasty. My back didn’t feel well for a while afterward.And I know some of the giant solid state behemoth amps are a whole different ball game. You need to keep a spare fo... | |
| Thiel Owners Quite true, Ron.In fact, ironically the much smaller Joseph Perspective speakers I'm contemplating are almost as heave as the 3.7s (just over 80 lbs, vs 91 lbs for the 3.7s). | |
| Thiel Owners Someone bought my Thiel 3.7s. Fortunately the buyer is arranging pick up from my house, where they will be put on a pallet by the shipping company. That has still of course left me with packing them in to their boxes. Wow...not easy! It took a loo... | |
| Am I hearing things? blueranger,I have not seen very plausible looking arguments to establish that all those things need "burn in" and change sound.But it is very well established that our perception alters readily.On an anecdotal level: I often play around with the p... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ? @tommypenngottiI am a drummer so I love fat , tight kick drum. Rock i.e.: Rush , Prince, old 70s / 80s fusion/Jazz Like another poster, this immediately made me think you are an ideal customer for the Devore 0/93 speakers (which I’ve been audition... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? teo_audio,You already tried that shtick:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/beware-the-audio-guru?page=4(I’m neither new to philosophy, nor to the philosophy of science. So please try to do better than the throwing-philosophical-spaghetti-at-th... |
