We did extensive auditioning last spring - have to admit that we hated the LS50s (didn't go low enough + clangy on uppe... | |
| Just saw the Absolute Sounds 50 Greatest Bargins in Audio Seems very odd to me that they recommend the passive GoldenEar Triton Fives for the Mid-Price System...plus $1500-1900 subs??? It would be simpler and more cost effective (not to mention better sounding IMO) to go with the Triton Three+ ($2500) o... | |
| Your advice to speakers designers Prof, do you have pictures of your room? | |
| what speakers to buy Oh golly, this is why I suggested the OP go on an audition trip to hear a range of speakers for himself. Different ears and different gears and different music and personal taste etc etc. I haven't spent much time with GE Triton Ones but I did aud... | |
| what speakers to buy A second for the excellent Avanti Vs. I think (memory fails at this point) the Andras went lower. | |
| what speakers to buy Dragonbtx, are you near Springfield IL? (You said three hours from Indy or Chicago. I live in Indy.) We have 3 dealers here, but a wider variety of what you want to audition can be found in the Windy City - a road trip is an excellent idea. You c... | |
| Do I have to spend $4000 plus to get a better sounding speaker than GET model 7 ? Yes, you can get better - including in the GET line: the Triton 3+ for $2500 or the Triton 2+ for $3500. Assuming your front end and amplification are up to it, either of these GET speakers will give you everything you like about your present one... | |

My main experience with Deutcshe gear has been he Lector CD players - and they're not bright. I will say the MBL integr... | |

| Floor Stander with Small Footprint 7K - 15K GoldenEar Reference or Ones. Audio Physic Avanti IIIsPSB T3sWilson BeneschI like my Led Zep and my Wagner with "impact". Yes, I do. | |
| Receiver help I would also recommend one of the Marantz receivers and one of their CD players - look great, smooth and musical. | |
| My rankings of some classical violin music in high resolution I don't know what hi-rez recordings are available from Gil Shaham but he is one of my favorite current violinists. For the greatest of all time I think that honor would go to Heifetz for musicality, if not for sound quality.I heard Henryk Szeryng ... | |
| Let's discuss radio programs Little Stevie's Underground Garage is my favorite.You can hear Hearts of Space for free weekly on many NPR stations. | |
| Is high end audio to snooty for its own good? Once upon a time, I got very tired of hearing smooth jazz and Diana Krall at what seemed like every gear audition and audio club meeting on earth. However, I don't begrudge any fan of that music their enjoyment of those recordings and I don't expe... |
