| How to get the impact of a live concert? Mapman,I have been lusting fir a pair of Ohms for years, but always went in another direction. But there is still time. I believe that you are right, because I respect your opinion, and because I was just recalling an experience that I had at an a... | |
| How to get the impact of a live concert? The only speakers that I ever owned that reproduced the sound I would hear at a concert are Klipschorns. I am sure there are others, but I'll bet they are horn designs as well. | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? Pbnaudio,Thanks for the correction. As I said, I wasn't sure. Now I remember Gordon Rankin, and reading about him many times. Interesting to hear what Dennis is doing now. Do you know if Gordon is still in charge at Wavelength? I didn't see his na... | |
| The finest Cable Elevators you ever auditioned? Mike60,Thanks for the laugh. Just the mention of cable elevator directionality was enough to make me chuckle. And Elizabeth; great post. I would have expected no less. | |
| CARY -- WHERE ARE THE CHECKS AND BALANCES? Correct me if I'm wrong, because it was a long time ago, but I thought that Dennis Had left Cary and started Wavelength Audio. Is that correct?I just went to the website, and sure enough, they're still selling flea powered amps for a lot of money,... | |
| Diana Krall Survey Vicks7,Of course she deserves respect, and apparently she gives pleasure to a lot of fans, but the number of records she sells, like her educational background, is irrelevant to her artisic merit. | |
| Diana Krall Survey Vicks7I respectfully disagree. To begin with, I don't care what her educational credentials are. We all know that there are talented musicians who create music that has no soul, while some of the greatest are self-taught. I also do not believe tha... | |
| Diana Krall Survey Vicks 7,I will admit that I was overstating my dislike for her. I think she is a certain taste, but overrated. On the other hand, I hope that you are not really trying to compare her to any of the great jazz pianists. | |
| Tannoy D700 vs. McIntosh XR250 I would say absolutely go for the Tannoy. That series of speakers, including the D900 and a smaller one I think, have been universally praised for great sound, and build quality. They have also retained value. And I am saying this as a longtime Mc... | |
| Diana Krall Survey As long as we're trashing Diana Krall, can we throw a few bricks at Norah Jones? I'll start. She's way overrated and not as good looking as Diana Krall. | |
| What's up with ads for $70,000 speakers selling I agree with most of what has been said above, but when it comes to high ticket speakers, moreso than preamplifiers and amplifiers, there does seem to be a very substantial drop in value after they have been "driven off the lot". I remember even v... | |
| Diana Krall Survey Very pretty, very boring. | |
| Roger LS 3/5A Why do you wonder? | |
| Does Anyone remember Thanks Ghostrider, I will look into that. | |
| Does Anyone remember Well, c'mon Elizabeth, give it a try for me, and tell me what your thinking is about them all these years later. I'm also just remembering that I used to use those wide flat circles that used to cement right on to the disc, might have been Audioqu... |
