| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? @bigfatpaulie Throwing more money at a DAC or power cables/audio cables...? Not what I'd suggest. But, hey, we all have our opinions. I fell in love with the sound of Devore O/96 speakers and was offered an in-home audition. I abstained.... | |
| Am I broken? Am I stuck? Do I have to return my audiophile card now? I was in a similar quandary. I'd gone back and forth between Devore and Joseph Audio speakers, ended up buying original Joseph Perspective speakers when they'd just come out with the new graphene version. My idea was to eventually send them for ... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium Thank you very much @pennfootball71 I've been curious about the YG speakers (not in the market) and will finally hear some soon at a friend's place. I'm familiar with the Vivid Audio speakers sound. "Vivid" they are! I auditioned the Magico A... | |
| The Snob Appeal Premium @pennfootball71 Other speakers I heard and tried YG acoustics Carmel 2, YG acoustics Hailey 2.2, YG Sonja 2.2 Vivid Kaya 25 & 45, Vivid Giya G1 and G2 Dynamikks Athos 10 (best bang per buck) Magico A5 & Magico S5 Kharma Exquisit... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Amazing that it's been over 5 years since I started this thread pondering my decision. Funny enough I still have a HiFiShark alert set up for when the Devore O/96 come up for sale, which I really should turn off since that ship sailed quite a whi... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks for the info @tomthiel @thieliste I saw the photo. Ok, so it's only the surround that is painted black. I'd hoped it was the driver that was black. Not sure it's useful to me then, but I'm thankful you posted the photo. cheers. | |
| Thiel Owners Wait, what? New black coax drivers? What is that about? How did they become black? Just a few days ago I was thinking about my 2.7s that I’d like to try them with the grills off, but I would find the shiny drivers too distracting. I lite... | |
| Joseph Audio Perspective next steps @hilde45 My opinion, or perhaps hunch, cuts a middle ground between what your dealer is saying and others here. I can see his point, and that of folks like sksos. My room is 13' x 15' with a wide opening to the hallway. The Perspectives cert... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @donquichotte Sorry for the delayed reply. To your questions: 1. Ultimately it depends on what you want out of your upgrade. What might you be missing that could be better? For me Harbeth are probably the most like the Spendor classic ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @donquichotte Sorry I haven't replied yet! I'll get back to your question very soon. Promise! | |
| Hales Transcendence 5 speakers endgame? Still loving my Hales T1 and Transcendence center channel in my home theater set up. Though I have Joseph Audio Perspective speakers for 2 channel listening, I often listen to music on my Hales-based HT set up - e.g. youtube performances or ap... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers update: Spendor SP 1/2 speakers. I finally got a little listening session in with some Classic Spendor SP 1/2 speakers! I’ve wanted to hear those for years, but finding them to audition is like hunting the Sasquatch. Turns out the local plac... | |
| the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data? The Sound. (To my ears). And aesthetics. I have certain things that I value in sound reproduction, hence in the ways speakers can sound. So i’m not chasing numbers (measurements) per se (not that those are inconsequential of course), but rat... | |
| Boressen speakers @arafiq The only thing I wish the JAs had more of is a bit more tonal density. Other than that, I really love everything else about them. More than likely I will stick with Joseph Audio. As you might know that has been my only knock on the... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @mulveling Also forgot to mention, I’ve had these 1" thick granite slabs since forever. They ring like crazy. Tried them under my speakers (with Herbie’s Giant Fat Dots under each corner) and they just sounded BAD. Really bad. I realize this... |
