| 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... | |
| Kal was right! I'll be very curious to read how it goes, rpeluso! I'm intrigued by these speakers and the fact you drove them with a tube amp is cool. I use Conrad Johnson Premier 12s, 140W/side tube monos. I'm actually most intrigued by the smaller S5M ... | |
| Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound I think a lot of people who are non-believers in speaker wire are those either have difficulty writing the check or are jealous about those who can. As a result they put down others who can. That is, sorry to say, a facile and self serving ... | |
| Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound @grisleybutter....$2000.00 speaker cable sounds no better than $20.00 cables?..well maybe if your playing in the Zu,Tekton arena but I suggest you listen a system that has the ability to prove how just absolutely idiotic your statement was. Uh.... | |
| Finally Learned: Subs serve much larger role than adding more low bass I'm an outlier apparently. I had two JL Audio subs with their fantastic CR-1 crossover and also added DSP. Nothing life changing. Didn't do much for me. Didn't find the added low bass to be significant and I preferred the tonality of my sp... |
