| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @arafiq Yes I remember you mentioning the Aavik amp. That’s a pricey bit of gear! Funny you mention selling your REL subs; I’m actually considering adding a REL sub, just to try at some point - e.g. T9X. The Perspectives are putting out goregou... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Ok sorry for the delay. Here's my report on my upgraded Perspective 2s: I'd sold almost all my extra audio gear over the past several years, which went in to my 'audio funds' that I could use for upgrades or a new purchase. Part of that went to... | |
| Thiel Owners Also one thing i don’t like at all about the Gaia 2s is that you don’t hear the tweaks that you put into your system like yor exemple the Vertere Pulse HB Ethernet cable that i purchased lately which completely blew me away prior to the Gai... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Yeah, I know. Sorry. I've been distracted by all sorts of stuff. I'll get back to the Perspectives as soon as I can. They are sounding great! | |
| "Audiophile" Power Cables: The Greatest Audio Conspiracy Theory of All Time? FRAT (Sorry OP...as if I'm one to talk...) | |
| Ray Charles - "Rap is not music" Not a huge fan of rap to be sure. But I've enjoyed plenty of rap songs and have yet to enjoy anything by Ray Charles. | |
| Harbeth 40.3's. Should I buy them? @desalvo55 Interesting to see you owned the MBL 126 speakers! I owned the previous model, the MBL 121s, for many years. What I liked about the 121s is they are a bit bigger and fuller range compared with the newer 126. The other thing is, w... | |
| We should reject hard-to-drive speakers more often meh. Some audiophiles are "amp first" seekers, others are "speaker first" seekers. If you are an "amp first" audiophile and in love with lower powered amps, that will limit your choices. If you are "speaker first" then your choices are mostly w... | |
| Hales Design Group Transcendence 5 Grill Cloth Sorry I don't have an answer for you. I owned the Hales T5s and still think back on them fondly. Amazing speakers. Incredible imaging, soundstaging and at the time almost peerless for accurate instrumental timbre. I still have my Hales T1 moni... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! bipod72 I see no reason to denigrate how anyone else enjoys music, be it their choice of room furnishing, single chair or whatever. If that is the way an individual likes to focus on listening to music, how could that be "insulting" to the music... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! curtdr Yes the "underused dedicated home theater" has been a theme that has often cropped up in the dedicated home theater forums (e.g. AVSForum). One really should go in with a realistic idea of how many people will likely use the theater and h... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! @cd318 Reviewers exist primarily to promote product. Really? I used to review a bit, and have known many audio reviewers. I can't think of a single one who thinks of themselves that way, or who approach their reviewing just to promot... | |
| Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms! I’m not as concerned about reviewer’s rooms as many others here. Yes, of course room acoustics affect speaker performance. It’s not for nothing room EQ is all the rage these days. However...I’m less in to hand-wringing over the photos of re... | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... @waytoomuchstuff I was still getting a little midrange glare from your syntax, but since I put my desktop monitor on Nordost isolation Kones, that's cleared up. Thank goodness! | |
| AUDIO SCIENCE REVIEW and $50 to spend......... ozzy, Short version: Giving reasons justifying my approach is not an attack on yours, or a demand you should approach the hobby as I do (or anyone at ASR does). You-do-you. Short enough I hope? ;-) |
