| Talon Hawks if you are talking about the totem hawks, these were very nice. I listened to them for more than 20 mins during the he2003 show. I also liked the totem forest speakers that vince brought with him. these were some of the best sounding speakers (imo... | |
| Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared? gthirteen, i have not used the 963sa extensively in my audio setup. after around 50 hours of breakin, i evaluated the 2 players. the 963sa was better than the 9000es except in sacd playback, but it was very close comparison, not a night and day di... | |
| Sony 9000es v. Phillips 963SA - anyone compared? i have both the sony 9000es and the new 963sa. the 963sa is in my ht room and the 9000es is in my audio room. i prefer the 963sa for video/dvd and cd playback. i prefer the 9000es for sacd playback. i also own a classe cd only player in my audio r... | |
| Classe, Pass Labs or Odyssey i used to own mcintosh, yamaha, and ati amps and integrated amps in the past. I then demo'd the classe 201 and 301, and their cam monoblocks, along with bryston, simaudio, and plinius amps and decided to go with the odyssey monoblocks with the cap... | |
| Concert attendance my wife and i are attending the concerts at he2003 this weekend. in three weeks, we are going to jacksonville, oregon for 2 nights of concerts: first is the robert cray band and guest, the next night is yellow jackets and acoustic alchemy. we alre... | |
| Bogdan,Pure Silver Sound, RS-IC's SHOOT OUT?? i swapped out all of my cables (straightwire/alpha core,transparent) with new bogdan silver cables. I did some comparisons against nordost red dawn, audioquest, analysis plus, cardas, and my cables mentioned above and i liked the bogdan cables the... | |
| About Sony 9000ES CD/SACD/DVD Player... i also have a 9000es sacd player. i visited dan from modwright and we demo'd modified and unmodified versions of the 9000es player. the mods made a huge difference in redbook cd playback. IMO, the sony sacd players (scd-1, 777es, and the 9000es) a... | |
| Best small speaker I like my Totem Model 1's. You will need a good amp to bring out the sweetness of these speakers. The NAD won't do it. IMO | |
| HELP with Speakers for a 11 ft X 12 ft room??? audition the Totem model 1's, staff, or hawk speakers for a small room. I currently use the model 1's with a rel strata III sub in 1 room and a pair of totem arros in my den. They are very nice sounding speakers but I would not suggest the arros f... | |
| what's my problem? i have owned many NHT speakers during the past 8 years (Super Zeros, model 1, 1.5's, 2.9's, AC2, and a pair of Sub 2's) and the only pair I currently have today are the sub twos's. NHT is not known for their "warm" sound, they are better know for ... | |
| Running CA Classe 100 or Parasound 1500 in mono I demo'd many amps and owned a few (mcintosh, classe, sim, plinius, bryston) before deciding on a pair of Odyssey monoblocks. I really liked the Mcintosh and Classe gear for their warm sound and I think the Odyssey monoblocks have the same type of... | |
| VTL-IT85 or Classe CAP-151 for magnepan MMG I doubt the Classe unit is causing this "flat" sound. I own Classe gear and they have a warm sound to them, just the opposite of what you are describing. I would work on the room first. When you get the room fixed, try a different set of cables. T... | |
| Integrateds - Revisited Yet Again i listened to the sim and others a few years ago and purchased the mcintosh ma-6500 integrated amp to go with my nht 2.9's. The nht's need a lot of power and they need a smoother sounding amp to tame the forwardness of the nht line. The mcintosh d... | |
| Totem Arro: Do I have enough power? I have a pair of Arro's in my den (almost the same dimensions as your room) and they are driven by an old onkyo tx-sv909pro receiver. The arro's sound very nice in this setup. I also hooked up the arro's in my audio room (in place of my totem mode... | |
| Review: Totem Beak Tweak I currently have 1 pair on top of my Totem Model 1's and I just ordered another pair. I have been told that 2 pairs at opposite corners will give you a bigger improvement over a single pair. If there isn't any noticable improvement, I will put the... |
