Preamp to pair with Manley Snappers?
Bbybaudio, the Manley preamps are exceptional pieces and I would also recommend auditioning them before moving away from the line. Even the $1800 Shrimp sounds better than it has any right to at it's price point. Sweet presenation with excellent l... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Wslam, I can say I am interested and intrigued by the Magico speakers. Maybe I can make some type of arrangements to audition the Mini's. Who knows, maybe they will be part of my line-up someday in the not too distant future. 
Do Audiophiles blow speakers?
In my early days I have taken out a few tweeters in some Polk SDA speakers. I can only take partial blame as it was common in the 1980's Monitor line of Polk speakers. Then again, the 80's were part of my party days. I have not blown a speaker sin... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
Wslam: I agree that $20k is not out of reach for everyone and would not classify any high end audio product as obscene. I may be picking up another "stand mount" line discussed here in the speaker forum that is also near the $20k price point. As I... 
Has any one heard Magico Speakers?
I am curious if there are any dealers in Upstate New York (Binghamton area)?. Being a dealer myself, I have been intrigued by the Magico products and very interested in hearing them. Being a small dealer, they are probably out of price point as we... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
For the past 11 years, I have been listening to a pair of speakers I designed to be released as my statement loudspeaker product. They are a 5 driver, full range design using all VIFA products and standing 5 feet tall. I played with the prototype ... 
Usher X719 and tubes
I have to disagree with Nick72 on this one. I have been an Usher dealer for several years and also deal primarily with tube amplification. Some of my happiest X-719 customers are driving these speakers with tube amps of 22 watts to 70 watts. I hav... 
Acoustic Zen Adagio, How Good Are They?
For those in the Upstate NY area, you are more than welcome to come into Response Audio as well to audition the Adagio speakers. I will not post my thoughts on these speakers. Being a dealer for them, I realize most will consider my opinion to be ... 
Chinese Speaker Prices
depending on what model you are interested in, you may save a few bucks but not get any type of warranty. Speakers sold in the US come with a full 3 year warranty. Bill 
speaker break in volume level
My recommendations are to break-in the speakers as you are going to listen to them. Higher volume levels with dynamic music will help loosen up the surrounds much quicker. I go with whatever my ears can handle. 
new Jolida
Hi All, One thing to consider here is that these products will not even run in the US. Even after "converting" to US voltage, the transformers are not designed to handle our high voltage swings. I receive many calls from consumers that have bought... 
I miss Buffalo's Audio Club,
Hi EVeryone, I know i'm a little ways from Buffalo but I would like to extend an offer to get together. I seem to be in the middle of a few clubs and want to open my store to those in the NJ Audio Society, Albany area as well as the NY Audio Rave ... 
Albany NY "Capital District"
Hi Everyone, Because of the VTV show in NJ, I will have to limit my get together to Sunday May 7th. FOr those interested, I have the large 98dB Usher D2 horn speakers on display as well as many other higher-E speakers. The Daedalus DA-1 are still ... 
anyone heard these 400 pounders????
Hi 2bigears, It was nice speaking with you. As you know from our conversation, the Usher D2's are over 600 lbs. each. I know it's touch trying to buy speakers unheard and I wish you the very best of luck in your quest. Please do keep in touch with... 
Anyone notice House's loudspeakers?
Yes, he does have these speakers as well as the SOTA table and Thor gear. He is often seen laying on the floor which is where you usually see the SOTA next to him.
