| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers RESULTS SO FAR: These speakers are GLORIOUSLY GREAT! Where to start? First, they are the most gorgeous-looking speakers I’ve ever seen (at least anywhere near their price point). But beyond that, they certainly do the "disappearing and sounds... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers JOSEPH AUDIO PERSPECTIVES - OWNER REPORTWell, I figured after all the pixels spilled on this thread concerning my deliberations I ought to mention how things are going with my purchase of the Joseph Audio Perspective (original) speakers.I’ve had t... | |
| Most annoying song, period. Duran Duran’s "Wild Boys."Any song in the category of "The Blues." (E.g. the stuff the loose-jeans-crowd want to hear at audio shows). | |
| Thiel Owners Tom,Cool! | |
| Thiel Owners Yes, I’ve also wondered before about what might happen if the 2.7 baffle were further re-enforced. Though not being a speaker designer, I wouldn’t know the trade-offs. I’d imagine that if, say, you tried to re-enforce it from within, adding thickn... | |
| The sonic rightness of a mono system. I don't find mono listening or sound to be superior or preferable.It just sounds "stuck in the speaker"...like...well...a speaker. | |
| Thiel Owners tomthiel,My post was also meant to justify my interest in whatever possible upgrades show up for the 2.7s. It would be intriguing if a bit more of that "sonic purity" I hear in the Josephs could be introduced in to the 2.7s.(Even *some* movement ... | |
| Thiel Owners @tomthielRe the concept of accurate vs musicality, I don’t think they are opposed.But ultimately both sound systems and recordings are compromised and personally my main goal is to enjoy music through my system. I think the artist would also be ha... | |
| Thiel Owners batmanfanYup I went from the 3.7s to the 2.7s, not for sonic issues but aesthetic/ergonomic issues.My room is 13' wide x 15 deep (that is at it's deepest point, which is the end of the bay windows behind the listening sofa, so really most of the r... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Tom, makes sense.I keep meaning to address a very interesting issue you brought up earlier about the quest for neutrality vs...I guess..."musicality?"I'll try to get back to this. | |
| Thiel Owners Upgrades for the 2.7s still down the road? | |
| Why do Harbeth speakers have such a cult following I am constantly comparing live sound to reproduced sound - lifelong habit. I often close my eyes and listen to voices around me just to take stock of the character of real voices, and note how they differ from reproduced voices. I usually close... | |
| Thiel Owners FWIW, I sure don't hear any harshness in my Thiel 2.7s driven by my conrad johnson premier 12 tube amps :-)Not anywhere, not a bit. They are one of the smoothest sounding speakers (at least with this amp combo) that I've ever heard.And the sound ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers fsonicsmithOuch! Maddening.The hosting a party thing reminds me too: We hosted a party years ago, many parents and kids. I'd just installed our new home theater in our living room, including one of my prized home theater possessions, a very rare... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Almost there....I now have my Joseph Audio Perspective (original) speakers in da house! All set up.First of all, wow these speakers are gorgeous! They have the rosewood finish with a beautiful grain structure, and with the fit and finish they jus... |
