| KEF ls50 meta’s are on the way It's great to read that the new LS50 meta speakers are making owners really happy!I've heard the original at a local dealer quite a while back - really nice, not completely my cup of tea. But I'd like to hear the metas. Not gonna happen any time... | |
| In praise of the ESL-57 I started off with the ESL 63s for several years (and Gradient subs).But even then, once I heard the 57s I preferred the tone of the 57s and still do.I'm a speaker whore and love to keep around several different speakers.It kills me that the 57s j... | |
| When was the first time that you heard great sounding speakers? Late 70’s when my Dad brought home Kef 105.2 reference speakers (sometimes we called them "the robots"), along with a Carver cube amp and Carver C-4000 pre-amp with "sonic holography."It was astoundingly huge, rich, dimensional sound. Blew out min... | |
| Spendor Classic 1/2 I listen more to the music on the Spendors (jazz, vocals, some pop/soul) and more to the system using the other speakers.Same here. I notice this every time I throw my Spendor S3/5s in to my system. Which is why I wanted to hear the new Classic se... | |
| New Tinnitus study and possible treatment (via Science Daily) Homeopathy really works.^^^ Please, don't anyone be misled by this claim.No. It really, really doesn't work, beyond a placebo effect. It has no scientifically coherent theory, and no scientific evidence. It's just the usual anecdotal evidence ... | |
| Thiel Owners As I’ve mentioned before in this thread: My Conrad Johnson Premier 12 tube monoblocks, 140W/side, drove the 3.7s beautifully. It seemed like an "ultimate" combination of lush, organic sound, but with precision and plenty of power.A friend who is a... | |

You mean a high-end speaker manufacturer is actually lauding their drivers for having a highly desirable combination of rigidity and low mass?Unprecedented! W... | |
| Thiel Owners As I wrote about in my own thread, I now have a Bryston 4B3 on loan from a friend. I've tried it on my Spendor speakers, Joseph Audio Perspectives, and soon enough will try them on my Thiel 2.7s. I've wanted to hear the Thiels powered by beefy ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Thanks for reading. This thread is sort of like a "get it off my chest" for any thoughts or continued experiences I'm having.Speaking of such things: With the Joseph Perspectives powered up I was playing some loud, thrashing Duran Duran. The... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 aj523Thanks for the info! I admit I still think about the Devores and have wondered what an update might sound like. But if it's using trickle-down from the reference series I'd won't be surprised at a significant price increase. (Which would p... | |

A Dealer in Canada that sells Acapella Horns and Vivid Audio and Cube Audio and Joseph Audio speakers and their favorite speakers are the Joseph Audio Perspective 2’s !

| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers A Tale Of Two Amps:Well. That was quick.As I mentioned I was lent a new Bryston 4B3 amp from a friend while one of my Conrad Johnson monoblocks was being fixed. First time in years that I put a SS amp back in to the main system. I used to own a Br... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers The D7s were burned in. I heard the A7s and they had a similar off-putting top end.I never auditioned the D9s, only heard them very briefly at a show. They simply made a quick impression on me of a vivid, realistic sound playing some Jazz/R&am... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 As to amps and the Devore speakers:John Devore said his goal in designing speakers was to make them as amplifier agnostic as possible. Which is why he keeps the impedance an easy load. He saw this as a competitive advantage in a marketplace wher... | |
| Devore Fidelity Orangutan O/96 Wow, fasonicsmith, now you have it all! :-) |
