| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review Actually the Perspectives are tricky in smaller rooms - the bass can overwhelm and they need good breathing space. See JA's measurements. | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review markalarsen,No problem in criticizing the Thiels of course, but I can tell you they certainly are not bright by nature. They are incredibly smooth, the smoothest upper frequencies Thiel ever achieved, and smoother than the vast majority of speaker... | |
| JA Perspecitve Stereophile review That review has always struck me as a bit odd. Not that it wasn't an accurate account of what John heard. But I did long auditions of the Pulsar, and then the Perspectives first at my dealer. In both cases never did either strike me as bright ... | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers Yes, that's what I was saying. | |
| Isoacoustics Gaia Speaker Footers I like the idea of the Townsend bars because they deliberately minimize raising the height of the speaker - which will in of itself change the sound for a listener and may even account for much of the change people percieve in using devices like t... | |
| Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ?? audiotroy wrote:the Golden Ears tend to sound a bit dark and bass heavy, That agrees with my encounters as well.I'm very sensitive to tone/timbre and I get why many people think Golden Ear is a terrific bargain. The sound is big, pretty transpare... | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? Let's hear why piano is so specifically hard to reproduce.I'd say some reasons:1. Spans more of the frequency range than most instruments, hence has wider scope to show weaknesses in upper and lower areas of the speaker design.2. Has a combination... | |
| Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce? String sections, and yes violin higher registers. It seems almost impossible to find sound reproduction that captures the combination of texture, bite and silkiness of real strings.And most speakers tend to thin out the body of the sound as you m... | |
| Most resolving Speaker I have actually found the general concept of "higher resolution speakers" to be somewhat overblown.Once you get to a competent level of speaker design, not grossly colored so as to obscure parts of the spectrum, most speakers IMO produce most of t... | |
| Which 30K Speakers Would You Give Up For Tekton Double Impacts? I also find it remarkable that olesno gave up Kef Blade 2s for the Tektons.Simply based on my brief listening to the Blades and all the esteem in which they are held. That's quite intriguing. | |
| Thiel Owners tomthielNot that it gives you any more information per se on the Thiel 2.7, but maybe of interest to you is this post in another forum by Philip Bambergwho worked on the 2.7:I designed the crossover for the CS2.7 upgrade to their coax mid/tweeter ... | |
| Tekton Impact Monitors I’ll be interested in what Herb Reichert has to say about the Tekton monitors. There was a very recent video on the Stereophile site with Herb "demoing" the Joseph Audio Pulsar monitors that he’s currently reviewing, about which Herb wrote: "I per... | |
| Any Talon Khite owners out there I hope you got them cheap :-)If they are the model I remember (and I'm pretty sure), I'd expect a pretty colored sound - rich, but dark (to be diplomatic). | |
| Magico A3 Doesn't seem called for, tonykay.Someone expressing their enthusiasm for a speaker. If that's going to be critiqued we may as well shut forums like these down. | |
| Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER! boo!Worst poster ever.If he is in fact a dealer, he's dented his reputation in my eyes, |
