| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Small update:I auditioned some Wilson Benesch speakers. It was an interesting experience.That’s a brand that has intrigued me - never heard them but have read some raves. Turns out a local dealer sells the brand so I dropped in and he had the smal... | |
| Thiel Owners Funny you mention Magico, I'm going to be checking out the Magico A3 speakers soon.I tried hooking up my JL subs in the REL fashion (they allow for that type of set up) and didn't have great success - the sound got tonally darker and less dynamic ... | |
| What used speakers raraely come up for sale Here's a super rare speaker that would be simply killer to pick up used:Waveform Mach Solo.That was the slightly smaller, passive version of the famous Waveform Mach 17 speakers by John Otvos. The Mach 17s were one of the most amazing sounding s... | |
| What used speakers raraely come up for sale @cakids,Agreed on the AP Scorpios. I owned a pair in ebony for a while and the were one of the most attractive speakers I've seen. Plus they sounded great. A real bargain for high end sound and aesthetics if you can find them used. | |
| How To Field Questions About Your Audiophile Lifestyle... I'm about a clean aesthetic, so the source components/amps etc are in a separate room, and cables for my speakers are essentially hidden. Thus people really just see a pair of nice looking speakers and - if they aren't interested in such things, ... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,Yes I've commented on the mid-bass bloom of the 2.7s as well. It can really add some nice punch and warmth in many cases, and a dynamic feel. And for the most part it does it invisibly. But certain tracks can really zone in on that hum... | |
| Thiel Owners ronkent,Beautiful looking speakers! Someone will be lucky to get them.What does your your girlfriend like better about the 2.7s? Is it just a size, design thing? Or does she actually prefer the way they sound?For me the 2.7s is a nicer looking ... | |
| Talk but not walk? geoff,I suggest that you’ll have a much better chance to engage someone in actual dialogue if you sloooow down and read more carefully. If necessary, I suggest running your forefinger slowly beneath each line of text so that you don’t miss anythin... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,One last bit.You talked about the idea that confronting dubious high end audio claims, in public, is essentially a losing proposition.I disagree.I think it's always valuable to present, and defend if necessary, an alternative view. Insofa... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,Reply Pt 2:I have to admit I looked up your other posts and got an idea or two. It seems that you genuinely have something against those presenting things without full usual scientific research methods. I applaud you for your relentlessnes... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson.I'm back and my answer will be separated in to two posts.About the diffusor. As I probably linked to in the post you saw, I bought this one:https://www.acousticgeometry.com/products/curve-diffusor-crosstown-birch/I ordered it in a coffee ... | |
| Help! Tweaking My Lovan Rack for new Big A**ed Transrotor Turntable! Teeny update:Before buying my Fat Bob S turntable, I thought I’d been on track to possibly buying a VPI Prime turntable - especially the rosewood version which in pictures looked gorgeous. But I couldn’t resist the great deal I got on the Fat Bob.... | |
| Talk but not walk? glupson,I typed a detailed reply to you, but my computer froze and lost it.Taking with it a bit of my soul.I will have to regroup....and get back to you.;) | |
| Talk but not walk? Viva La Revolution geoff! You go girl! How is work going on your new scientific paradigm?I'm rooting for you, but in the race to overthrow staid and dogmatic science, there are so many others bidding to tell us science is wrong for not validatin... |
