| Thiel Owners @tomthiel I’m sure you have already mentioned this somewhere in this ginormous thread. But could you give some insights As to “the Thiel products that never came to be?” I’m thinking about what Jim might have had in his plans before he pass... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @petaluman What I meant there was that Amir Generally evaluates Loudspeaker measurements based on the type of criteria derived from Blind loudspeaker testing, Which are known to predict high preference scores. And other words that is there “ ... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @rodman99999 LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of disc, crystal, fuse, interconnect, speaker cable, etc) will make a difference, in their system and room, with their media and to their ears, without trying... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. @samureyex Your post is littered with a number of dubious, assumptions, or claims. I was very careful in what I wrote. As I said measurements are useful and so far as they have been correlated to their Sonic consequences. Sometim... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. “Among a myriad of other complaints, I simply don’t have any confidence that ASR as a publication knows good sound.” ASR evaluates equipment based on objective criteria that has been found to predict certain aspects of sound quality. The speak... | |
| The Audio Science Review (ASR) approach to reviewing wines. It would be really cool if somebody who wanted to criticize ASR could do it without strawmen. Amir DOES listen to every loudspeaker and comment on the sound. He also reports whether a speaker that doesn’t measure well can be ameliorated ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Yep, everything is a compromise. The Devore sound is completely different from the Joseph sound. Since I have always been very mid range focussed, if my Joseph speakers had not been pleasing enough in the midrange, I certainly wouldn’t h... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers That’s great to hear! | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @relaxasurus I’ve had one experience listening to YG speakers: the Peaks Ascent model reviewed by my pal. My take away was not super positive . They were really lean sounding, and took a lot of moving around to get them to sound right.... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers arafiq Those are certainly two different types of loudspeakers! And both of them are ones I would love to be able to listen to as well. (I’ve heard both before and liked both for the same reason you like both). I actually did find your thread... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers arafiq, Been a while since I saw your thread on speakers. Can you remind me which speakers you ended up with? | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @relaxasaurus Great to see you in this thread. That’s really cool that the Devore speakers turned your crank! And boy do I ever know the heartbreak of losing out on second-hand speaker sales. I’ve had a number of heartbreaks.... | |
| Any regrets in selling gear? I don’t truly regret anything I’ve sold because I simply had to. But I do get quite wistful about my MBL 121 omnis. I owned them for about 10 years and nothing else sounds like them. I also Sometimes would like to listen to a pair of wavefor... | |
| Borresen X3 measurements @mbmi This statement is just NOT true...Michael Borresen is one of the most talented speaker designers in the world. The design problems with that speaker Uncovered by the measurements Are certainly true. And if Michael Borresen Designed... | |
| Borresen X3 measurements @kennymacc Measurements, smeasurements........The speakers haven’t receive almost universal praise by accident!!! Actually, they don’t seem to have received universal praise. Erins review is hardly high praise, and some comments in this thread... |
