Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  ghasley, I appreciate your latest update.  You are out there in the Devore weeds sending missives from the front lines! Your description matches my expectations for these speakers. Though I'm curious: how deep do they seem to go in the bass?... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In?
Thanks for the details vdotman! Wow back to the Pulsars.  Very nice.  What a deal. I'm also jealous of your time with the Graham Audio speakers.   I'm a fan of the classic Brit speakers - I own Spendor S3/5s and have owned Harbeth SuperHL5plus. ... 
Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In?
  Thanks for the response vdotman!  That's helpful info. Couple of things:  Aside from the bass issues, what did you like about the Perspectives? Any reason why you didn't just use the sub with the Perspectives?  What did you move on to?    
Joseph Audio Pulsar 2 Graphene Placement & Break-In?
@vdotman Oh man, that worries me to hear. I'd worried a bit from the Pulsar Graphene issues reported in this thread that maybe this would happen between the Original Perspectives to the graphene version as well.  Other Perspective Graphene owne... 
Does anyone have any recent experience with Kharma loudspeakers?
  Wow the Kharma DB9 S speakers are serious business.  You a playa now! :-) Congratulations!  
Axpona 2022 what impressed you?
I also enjoyed the Legacy Aeris on the first floor playing Nils lofgren 'Keith don't go'. Friends don't let friends play 'Keith don't go'. ;-) (Other than that, I'm jealous of those of you who attended).  
Nice upgrade to Hales T5’s
  As I've written, I own the Joseph Perspectives (and have heard the graphene version too), and also owned Hales T5s.  I prefer the Perspectives but no way in heck would I personally think the MSRP of the Perspectives are "worth it" over the Hale...

The Audiophile's Wife
grannyring,   I enjoy your wife's writing SO MUCH.  What a wit!   She's the female Art Dudley (or "anti-Art Dudley"?) Please encourage her to keep it up, and know that many of us still read and get a huge kick out of the blog.  My wife was just... 
Anyone else still loving Hales Speakers?
  wadia150 Your experience sounds a lot like mine! I find the Hales T-Center can't be beat (to my ears) at least in terms of it's smooth, natural timbre.  Also, in my system the T-Center and T1s put out enough bass that I don't feel the need fo... 
Why should audiophile deniers be allowed on an audiophile forum?
  Hadn't seen this thread before but: The answer to the OP is:  because it's not all about you. In other words, you don't have the right to define what an "audiophile" is and constrict the hobby to an attitude similar to your own.   That's the ... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  I used to own the Meitner Bidat DAC, with the remote volume control knob (and it could drive an amplifier directly).   It was the "in thing" for a while and it certainly had it’s charms. (I ultimately preferred my Meridian CDP over it, at the... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  ghasley, about this:   9) Right out of the box, they sound like speakers taken right out of the box. 30 minutes in they began to smooth out kindof like slowly connecting the woofer to the tweeter until they blended nicely. I'm VERY curious... 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
ghasely, Great!  How exciting.  Thanks for the early report. I'm especially curious if the O/baby carry on the O series character of sounding more robust, thick and substantial for their size.  I wouldn't expect them of course to match the bigge...
