| Thiel Owners Tom,Great info about the older Thiels and the importance of the grills.Audiophiles often seem to take it as a matter of fact that "all speakers sound better with the grills off" so you almost always see audiophiles using their speaker without gril... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 fleschler,Honestly I wouldn't be expecting the Joseph speakers to have the same kind of low-level-listening performance as something like a 98db efficient speaker. In fact if anything I found the Joseph speakers could use some volume to get them ... | |
| Alert, Warning, and Caution about Modified Components clearthink,I feel for you if you had a bad audiogon experience.But do you mind if I ask why you always write three similar adjectives in a row, in almost every sentence you write, where one would do? Even in your thread titles!Adding two extra syn... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I've also never liked a narrow sweet spot. And it's not only about allowing more than one listener to experience good sound. I find if a sweet spot is really narrow it's just bothersome in of itself.It's why, when plasma and LCD TVs were duking ... | |
| Kharma Exquisites I heard various Kharma speakers back when they had become "the New Thing" (including in some very expensive rooms/set ups by people who knew what they were doing).As a dealer in my city had some Kharma’s for sale I included them last year in my sp... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Again, nyaudio98...what's the matter with you?This is a thread on the topic of the new Joseph Audio speakers.Everyone knows other competing speaker brands exist. No one cares what you think is better. Start another thread if you want to talk abo... | |
| Ahhh--Problem solved. Adding a REL sub-bass unit... I come from a place of having hated subwoofers as well.For as long as I can remember, whenever I expressed that I didn't like systems with subwoofers, the reply would be "you just haven't heard it done properly. My set up integrates the sub prope... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Agreed bubinga.I too have probably read everything anyone has said about the Pulsars/Perspectives on the web (part of being obsessed with a speaker I want to buy).The comments about hearing the speaker in shows, demos, friends, or owners are *almo... | |
| Thiel Owners Thanks beetlemania, I saw that article when it came out.Afterword I was in the process of replacing all my cheap power cables with expensive ones, when I noticed the date. Man was I p*ssed! :) | |
| Thiel Owners *bites lip* | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Few rooms are ideal to evaluate speakers. Even the homes of many audiophiles. I can get a good gist of the character of a speaker when listening in a store, so long as the set isn’t terribly compromised. (The speakers I heard today sounded pretty ... | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? If you have to ask....;-)Some people manage to stick with a system for a long time. Others, not so much. I tend to enjoy the different presentations of different speakers, so I keep a few around. I may have a pair in my system for a week, or mon... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 I dropped in to an audio store that I was passing by today and listened briefly to the Paradigm Persona speakers (which I’d auditioned last year more extensively). Nice. Clear. Didn’t move me at all. There are certain speaker brands that, if they ... | |
| New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2 Hi Gordon,It’s great to get an update on how those Pulsars worked out for you.I recognize your journey from the What’s Best forum. I’m a fellow MBL owner - I still own the MBL 121 monitors. (And Thiels, and other speakers).I think owning the MBLs ... | |
| The under appreciated impedance curve The quick answer: The weaker the amp, the more its output in the frequency domain will look like the impedance curve.Thanks Eric. I guess that's a good rule of thumb. Though I always hear "it's totally different between SS and tube amps how they... |
