| Magico A3 I might go hear the A3 tomorrow (or possibly next weekend).I'm intrigued. | |
| Any Talon Khite owners out there Are you talking about the old Talon Khite speakers? In a wood finish?If you bought them thinking they would sound like the new Talons, I would be wary of that assumption. I'd say what I thought of the Khites...but since you already bought them..... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" gnason,Have you considered the JA Perspectives? Jeff Joseph said he was trying to essentially make a more affordable, and living-room friendly sized Pearl. In fact he'd mentioned to me that it was in designing and voicing the Perspectives that he'... | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel,As I own both the 3.7s and the 2.7s, I agree. The 2.7s do sound slightly different, the 3.7s sounding more open and a bit more resolving of the finest details and "air" around voices and instruments. The 2.7s are pretty darned good, tho... | |
| Thiel Owners jafant,I haven't tried to sell them yet. But I just got a nice trade-in offer to put towards some Devore speakers if I go that route. (Alternatively I'm still looking at possibly buying Joseph Audio speakers).I wouldn't sell my Thiel 2.7s - they... | |
| Thiel Owners I've been interested if an upgrade was developed for my 2.7s.However I would not be inclined toward an outboard crossover.Aesthetics matter in my room.(And, holy cow, those outboard crossovers are HUGE on the Avalons!) | |
| Is the 2.5 way speaker the ideal home speaker? Isn't the Joseph Perspective a 2.5 way? | |
| Axpona 2018 Thanks for all the show impressions! | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" I love my Thiel 2.7s but If I find something even lower profile that I like I'll buy them.At this point I believe I've narrowed it down to between the Joseph Perspective or possibly the Devore O/96s or 93s. Two different sounds, but both grab me ... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" Sure sounded great on the video :-) | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" Good job pc997! (I feel like I just spoke a line from a Star Wars movie...)How do you find your speakers compare to some of the comparable commercially built models? | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" erik,Since you are here....A very common reaction to the JA sound, one that I have as well, is finding it to be particularly clear and grain-free. A really "black background" as it were with a particular purity to the sound.Can you notice anythin... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" kalali,Good post!I agree about how speaker drivers behave in the hands of different speaker designers.The first time I ever liked a speaker with metal drivers was encountering Paul Hales "Transcendence" speaker designs. Paul was (is?) a wizard wi... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" dweller,Indeed.This "can't stop listening" evaluation is obviously subjective.I have a problem when people move from their own subjective reaction to a speaker/system to declarations of some objective form "this speaker plays music, others don't!"... | |
| New Speakers ... Can't Stop "Listening" Agreed about the JA speakers.My test for if a speaker might be for me or not is the "can I get up and leave or not?" when listening. Some speakers just pin me to the chair making me want to listen to track after track, and the JA speakers do that... |
