| Reference 3a Grand veena or Duntech Sovereign For Wasitpon, since you have the amp and will be getting the Sovereigns, might as well try the combination before making any decisions. They do like a lot of power; my dealer sold a lot of them with Rowland 7 monoblocks, ARC M300s and Krell KMA 20... | |
| Looking for warm sounding speakers I agree with a number of the suggestions, particularly the older Vandersteens. Another warm-sounding speaker I would suggest that might match your requirements would be the Annandale Acoustics A25, which is something of an homage to the old Dynaco... | |
| Reference 3a Grand veena or Duntech Sovereign I've heard both, and think they're both terrific speakers. Note that the Duntechs, while nominally of reasonable sensitivity, really need an amp that can control their woofers, otherwise they can sound a little slow and congested in the bass. I th... | |
| Jadis Orchestra Signature Bias Adjustment Check the archives on this, or contact member Trelja. | |
| Anyone compare Jadis JA 30 amps with JA 80s? I owned 80s and heard the 30s on a number of occasions. The power differential is noticeable, unless you have very efficient speakers. I think, with the right speakers, the 30s might be slightly better in the bass regions than the 80s, and might b... | |
| Allison One speakers Friend of mine has a pair of the original Ones, now in need of woofer replacement. Served as his main speakers for a long time till he bought my Thiel CS3s, very good speakers for enjoying music. Definitely place them on a long wall if you can, th... | |
| Nola Viper Owners, Lend Me Your Amps The many times I heard Alons at my dealer's (years ago, but the same type of designs), they sounded excellent with VTL amplification. I'd suggest you add that brand to your list for auditioning. | |
| Best Brandenburg Concerto recording CD Agree with Don about the horns on the Academy of Ancient Music SACD, they are quite distinct from any I have heard on other recordings. An excellent addition to a collection even if you have another recording of the piece. | |
| Polk Audio SDA 2 question By the way, if you couldn't find Ferrari's review, he said used an NAD 3020 amp (20 watts) to power them to good effect, said they did not need a lot of power at all. | |
| Polk Audio SDA 2 question I agree with Irvrobinson, when I listened to them way back they sounded too bass heavy and muddy in that area for my taste at the two dealers where I heard them. They do have their admirers, though, so my experience might not be the same as yours.... | |
| Bring on the criticism... Agree with Mlsstl. It will work for a sound reinforcement system, but you could pay a lot less for a PA system that could do that. For the musical subtleties, imaging, soundstaging, timbre of instruments, I think what you're suggesting could be a ... | |
| Why I like my home system better than live music While I enjoy music over my system quite a bit, it cannot match the enjoyment of a live concert (I listen to mainly classical and small folk and jazz ensembles). I think a big part of it, apart from the sheer volume and power of an orchestra going... | |
| DUNLAVY SC-VI I, similarly to Pryso's friend, had Duntech Princesses in a 20 x 18 room with openings going out from the back side so it presented a larger acoustic space, and I think that was the most a room of that size could handle (I tried the Duntech Sovere... | |
| Thiel CS3 Without The EQ I haven't seen any for years, not since the days of the Audiomart magazine, when they would occasionally show up. In stock form they should command very little, I'd think (a JPS Labs "Golden Flute" modded box might be a little more). I think Unsou... | |
| Thiel CS3 Without The EQ I would as well, given Unsound's point about these showing up every now fairly often. I owned the CS3s for a while, and without the EQ they sounded about the same as the CS2s that I passed over to get the 3's. The EQ was always criticized in the r... |
