| Can anyone who has heard Raidho X-1s and Harbeth M30.1s discuss the sound? I demoed the Raidho X1s (and C 1.2), as well as the Harbeth line.You don't need my input at this point, but fwiw....the Raidho actually has a reputation for a contoured sound, a dip in the presence region etc to sound "right" to the ear and more n... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range ozzy,I'm not one to ask about subwoofers. I've only just bought some JL subs myself (110E) that I'm going to try and integrate with my Thiel speakers. I'm a total newbie with subs. | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room willemj,Response not measured. No need so long as my ears are pleased. Certainly my ears aren't going to be as precise as measurement tools, but I’m very familiar (like many here) with the sound of poor bass response (boat, room nodes, lack of c... | |
| Good Used Speakers ($8K-10K) For A Little Listening Room Depends on the small room.My room is 13' X 13', though more like 13' X 15' at it's greatest depth as there is a deeper bay window area behind the listening sofa. The room was renovated with the input of an acoustician. There is a 5 1/2' wide roo... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range ozzy,I was also disappointed by the bass of the Focal Kanta 2 when I auditioned them. They were in a good room, well out from the wall, with room treatment. Yet I found the bass to have a over-ripe, quality that made it disconnected from the re... | |
| Have you ever hated the sound of your system one day, and loved it the next? It's you.(By far the most reasonable explanation).I don't have quite the swings of "love it/hate it" but my system DOES strike me sometimes as starting to be unsatisfying in one way or another, and if I just stop listening for a little while (few ... | |
| Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars Well done!I only discovered Joseph Audio speaker within the last year or two (always hear of them, never heard them) and they are now among my favorite. I auditioned the Pulsars and the Perspective and still crave a pair of Perspective (which I h... | |
| Typical New Speaker Dealer Discount A Buyer May Expect nrenter I’m the same. I know how tough it is to make money in a niche service like high end audio. I hate haggling, feeling chintzy and trying to squeeze a dealer out of his earnings. I pay full price. | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable “Trying to get me to spend 60% of my budget on cables instead of using my hard earned dollar towards the speakers and amplification.”^^^^ If true such salesmen should have to wear a dunce cap and take their place in the dunking machine chair, the ... | |
| Ideas on amp for Thiel It totally depends on your own tastes and criteria.Some people will say you need the most powerful sonic state amp you can afford to get the best out of Thiels.Others will say Thiels sing with tube amps (which typically are lower powered).I’m in t... | |
| Isolation stands: snakeoil? My main reply to your question is:I don’t know.Though since high end audio is rife with snake oil I have little doubt this applies to some (or many) isolation products.Bit having recently bought a new high end turntable, it did make at least theor... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? It's more like I know what's not supposed to be audible. Like Douglas, I’m still unclear how it is you know “what’s not supposed to be audible.” | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? jon5912,I’m sure audiotroy believes in the products he sells.Its one thing to be a gullible audiophile, but once one starts extolling the virtues of a product in order to sell them, then high end audio salesmen become part of the rip-off business,... | |
| Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more? audiotroy,I have no problems with your take on dialing in audio systems. We all have our own approach.But why do you continue to cling to obviously fallacious arguments like this:Of course these products work companies like Cardas, Wireworld, Nor... | |
| Thiel Owners Most speakers tend to sound a bit more rich and full, emphasizing the midrange over high frequencies, when you lower your listening position. That is true of the 3.7s though for some reason less so of the 2.7s which seem to maintain a very even to... |
