| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? dlcockrum,It’s a forum comprised of people with different taste and viewpoints.What ever gets "resolved" here? Nothing that I can see. In fact, what is supposed to be resolved? You don’t see everyone agreeing on speakers, or speaker design, or amp... | |
| Devore Orangutan O/96 Resale Value jperry,The problem is that audiogon now blocks the sale prices for any expired sale. I don't know why and it's very frustrating as I've tried to use audiogon to determine used prices before. Other forums don't do this (e.g. you can visit an old ... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthielProf, as a technical note, that wavy driver behaves better than any of the previous cone drivers as well as supports the tweeter wave-form launch very nicely. Therefore the direct series crossover path is simpler than any previous Thiel d... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Well I really put the Joseph Audio Perspectives through their paces today! It had been over a year since I heard them and I wondered if my memory was still accurate regarding their sound. Turns out: yes!They are the most tonally ravishing speaker ... | |
| Do Bigger Speakers Mean a Bigger Window? Looks like there have been various interpretations of the OP’s question.One thing I’ve noticed is that, yes, in generally bigger speakers sound bigger. Not just the size of the soundstage, but the size of the sonic images and the sense of actual p... | |
| Thiel Owners ^^^^ Hey, who let the riff-raff back in here?No turncoats allowed! Well, seeing as you like CJ gear we can still talk. ;-)That CJ ET3 looks nice!I consider my CJ Premier 12 amps and Premier 16LS2 preamp my secret weapons. They are "organic sound... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers So with a bit of time off work, I'm deciding on my speaker purchase this month, hopefully within the next 2 weeks. Tomorrow or Friday I intend to re-visit the Joseph Perspectives which I haven't heard in a long time now. Then it will probably be... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers ^^^^ (btw...the post removed above was just a duplicate post). | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers I don't have a second wife; maybe that's why I can afford to audition these speakers ;-) | |
| Thiel Owners Jeff,Congrats on the Revel speakers. They have such good engineering (and science) behind them that it's almost a sure bet a Revel speaker will produce excellent sound. While we may hear they are not to everyone's taste, it's very rare to see s... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? Funny how the complaint of people have an "axe to grind" only ever goes one way on this forum.Always aimed at someone who may be more skeptical about the claims of cable manufacturers. But if you fall in line with "of course cables make a differen... | |
| Thiel Owners The other thing about the coax driver design in both the 3.7 and the 2.7 is the coherency achieved! Try as I might I just can not "hear out" any tweeter sound from the midrange. It just sounds perfectly meshed together. Even the most challengi... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? rja,Someone with the relevant expertise in EE could certainly predict to a significant degree what you hear. People in audio do it all the time. In my work in post production sound, if I couldn’t predict what you hear my job would be impossible (g... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? rhartshorn,Just to make it clear (if it wasn’t already): I’m not an engineer myself and therefore no expert on cables. I remain skeptical about many of the claims made by high end cable manufacturers, but open minded to the possibility some cables... | |
| DO CABLES REALLY MATTER? calvinj,It seems to me, at least thus far, that you only wanted a one-way conversation: you telling us cables make a difference, asking what we thought, but not really caring and implying critical questions are just jibber jabber. Did you not thin... |
