| upgrade from Devore Nines Thanks for the input grk.The Super Nines are the last on my list of speakers I would like to hear before making my next speaker purchase (likely the Joseph Audio Perspectives), but unfortunately they are not a speaker most of us can audition.I hea... | |
| Thiel Owners I appreciate the nice comment thosb! | |
| most realistic sound from a stand mount Loudspeaker active or passive Well like most here I haven't heard everything out there, but I've heard a lot (most of the Big Names).The MBL 121 omni monitors which until recently I owned, have the most 3 dimensional sound I've ever heard from a stand mounted or floor standing... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Allan,I'm pretty positive they will be the latest version. | |
| Thiel Owners For what it's worth:I had the 3.7s in my 13' X 15' room and they worked perfectly. No problems whatsoever.Then again, it's a really good room for sound. | |
| I gre out of Be Tweeters I can't think of any audio technology I've fully turned against, but in reaching for something: Electrostatic speakers.Loved the Quad 63s I had for a while, and I've heard tons of other electrostatics (and hybrids), and in almost all cases they ... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers @allangaardWell, as luck would have it: My buddy will be receiving the PMC Fact 8 floorstanding speakers, so I'll be able to have a good listen in excellent conditions! I'll report on that at some point. | |
| A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson That's the goal of most speaker manufacturers, including the ones who made the speakers with rear-firing tweeters I've used and heard.I would very much like to hear the Boenicke speakers, but it doesn't look like that would be happening any time s... | |
| A brief review of 15 high-end speakers on home demo including B&W, Boenicke, Magico,Wilson Interesting about the rear firing tweeter.I've owned speakers with rear firing tweeters and heard others. I tend to like the sound best with the rear firing tweeter turned off. When on, and the sound is being radiated off the back walls etc, the... | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers steve,Yeah, I was coming from the Thiel 3.7s. Auditioning many of the latest designs only re-enforced what an accomplishment the Thiels were. Other speakers would do one or another thing really well, but fall down somewhere. I'd come home to t... | |
| Is Meridian dead as a product company? I used to own the Meridian 508.20 CD player and loved it. I pretty much never hear about Meridian now, except in regard to...you-know-what.... | |
| Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars? I heard the midbass hump on the Pulsars (Stereophile noted a bit of added warmth to the Pulsars too), which is why I gravitated to the Perspectives, which evened that out and sounded more linear t me through the lower midrange/upper bass. | |
| Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers Allan,I'm not in a position to give you any useful info on the PMC speakers, given the circumstances in which I heard them.I've heard the big MB2-A PMC speakers sounding big, powerful, spectacular at audio shows. But usually played so loud it was... | |
| Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars? andy,I don't find myself having much beef with your beef about the infinite slope claims. :-)Though I would say: Regardless of whether the specific technical claim is true about the infinite slope crossovers, I'm personally not sure about how mu... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks Jafant.(I admit to being perplexed by Andy's theistic allusions in regards to audio...) |
