| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Sorry, that user report I'd posted yesterday was long. Short version: I like ’em! :) | |
| 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... |
