| Dynaudio C-4 or Revel Salon 2 ...By experience, in no way 150watts is good enough for this range of speakers (and I do not play loud). The same probably applies to C4s as they are not known to be efficent speakers...Nope, reality can't agree with that. More stuff in the signal... | |
| Dynaudio C-4 or Revel Salon 2 C4's harsh? Is this a seriuos comment? The Esotar2 tweeter was nothing but SMOOTH when I listend to records and even red book CD's for hours. The C4 series II speaker was far removed from cold or lifeless...they were what the source was.I did not ... | |
| Thiel model 3.7 - nice speaker. No, I was referring to the 3.7 bing a little thin below 40 or so (that deep "feel: bass). Yes, the Quatro has crazy good bass with the amplified subs internal. | |
| DynAudio C4 _ Explodes my sonic perspective Thanks for the responses.I took the plunge and got the DynAudio C4 Series II signatures. I never listen from or go into the short leg of the "L" shaped room, so the forward fireing speaker design isn't an issue.I about wet my pants writing the che... | |
| Thiel 3.7 vs Dynaudio C4 OK, it's 09/18/2011 but...I auditioned BOTH of these products. The C4 is in a different spectrum than the 3.7. Yes, the 3.7 is good (I like the 3.7) but it is not a full size imaging speaker, doesn't go nearly as low, has no SLAM to music that cal... | |
| Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps? Well, I hit a hot button for discussion it seems. Do mean this to be a "learning" experience, not arguments. Sorry for any flames going any direction on this, even if I'm just a catalyst to it all!First order filter should be 6dB / octave not 3dB.... | |
| Why 24/7 warm-up period on amps? Well, I see I lot of, "I thinks..." and no real data past typical steady state warm-up (maybe an hour). SS circuits are pretty immune to on/off transients so paying more in electricity than an amp cost (A DNA-225 is over $250.00 to $300.00 a year ... | |
| Reference DACS: An overall perspective Digital has me wondering...and listening to records a lot.1.0 16-bit is out (redbook)as pretty ordinary and no better than an LP. I say no better as most of my CD's are worse...rats.2.0 24-bit has no real commercial support (FLAC is a common bootl... | |
| A brutal review of the Wilson Maxx I didn't listen to the MAXX, but I did listen to the Sophia model and they were thin, very bright, and didn't image well. The build quality was excellent, although I'm not a fan of the shiny finish but if you are, wow. I hoped that they were as go... | |
| What MC for $1,000-$2,000? What I settled on is a Benz Micro Ruby 3 factory new re-tip for $1,750.00. This cartridge sounds wonderful and works just fine on my SME III tonearm. So, it is a far cry from the Denon 103R and matches(if not smoother sounding than)my AC-2 Accupha... | |
| Quatro Wood Impressions. Sthomas,OK, and your reasons and comparisons are? This thread is intended to be educational so some sort of guidance as to why you make a criticism is fine. I didn't make these speakers, so I won't take it personally. I too keep litening to other ... | |
| Quatro Wood Impressions. I've since abandon the 103r, could never get it to sound anywhere near as good as the AC-2 Accuphaes. It just won't clear-up enough to sound "open". I now have a Benz Micro RUBY 3 that sounds fantastic. So, was it worth the 1,750.00 bucks (factory... | |
| Denon 103r ???? ...mismatched and improper conditions...No, I auditioned the Denon 103r is a heavier arm designed for MC cart, and the results were basically the same on Quatro'sÂ…poor midrange and higher end openness. ...Cutting head is not the playing head....No... | |
| Denon 103r ???? "Stylus Rake Angle (SRA) is commonly referenced relative to the true vertical position of the stylus, with straight up and down being *zero* degrees, not 90 degrees."No, it isn't. Geometry class is still in session. A vertical line is 90 degrees (... | |
| WA Sasha verusu SF Sstradivarius? Me, I just listened to the Sasha, and they sounded too thin and bright. The bass was poor in extension. They did go LOUD, sounded very FORWARD (BRIGHT high-end). I was overall unimpressed. The imaging was not their strong point either. Build quali... |
