| Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music I was always quite satisfied with the sound from my Thiel 2.7s (spec’d down to 35Hz though probably a bit lower in room). After reading the billionth "you need subwoofers to Have Complete Audio Nirvana" post by subwoofer proselytizers I finally... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers That's good to hear charles. I can't find any new reviews which have measurements. Only an older sound-stage review of the coincident super eclipse, where the measurements again look pretty awful. I don't think measurements are always neede... | |
| Impressions of Coincident Speakers It's been a long time since I heard some coincident speakers. But when they were the "new thing" back in the late 90's a local dealer carried them and I always found them way too colored for my liking. Hence I wasn't surprised by the notorio... | |
| Nice upgrade to Hales T5’s Well, as it happens, I used to own Hales T5s myself. I LOVED them. What attracted me to the Hales was that they seemed to get the benefits of metal drivers without the negatives (especially back among speakers when the Transcendence line came... | |
| Call me crazy but I love sometimes just looking at my speakers and set up... Same here. Aesthetics of any gear I'll be staring at for long periods of time are very important to me. As it happens two of the speakers I own - Thiel 2.7 and Joseph Audio Perspectives - not only are among my favorite sounding speakers but m... | |
| Short list of musical subwoofers While I sympathize with wanting advice, this is probably the most uselessly phrased question possible. "Musical" is entirely subjective. You can find people happy with every type and brand of subwoofer. I had two JL Audio 110E subwoofers. ... | |
| When choosing new Speakers, what matters most to you? A Wise Man Once Opined: Given enough time, all audiophile threads will become a discussion about cars or watches. | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? I did try a few times, but no human being. I also emailed a couple of days ago. No response yet. It's not that I haven't had luck getting some help from CJ over the years. They have indeed answered some of my questions! But given the res... | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? Great, thanks oldhvymec! Learning as I go. | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? Very helpful atmosphere! Thank you! Ah well, that's fine. I can still get 5751 tubes. | |
| Ok to substitute 12AX7 for 5751 tubes in CJ Amp? Thanks for the replies! (Especially yogiboy). I had tried to contact CJ but didn't get an answer yet. If they get back to me I'll post their answer here as well. | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover ^^^ sorry for bad formatting. Typed on new iPhone and for some reason that’s how it formatted | |
| JL Audio CR-1 Crossover I had the CR-1 and a couple JL e110 subs for quite a while (paired to my Thiel 2.6 speakers). First of all JL Audio is a stellar company to deal with. Really helpful customer service and fantastic products! id first tried integrating the subs... | |
| Kal was right! Well, I was getting kind of interested in the smaller S5M monitors...until I was given the Canadian price! Starting at $17,000 for High Gloss Black, Gloss Ebony is $18,500. Yikes! That keeps them firmly out of my price range, especially for a... | |
| Kal was right! Stereophile measured some demanding impedance though. I wouldn't be too concerned in my case. I've found my CJ Prem 12s to have little problem powering some demanding speakers I've owned, including my current Thiels and the brutally demanding... |
