| What does one purchase after owning horns? Lrsky,I am one of those who prefers horns because of the more realistic dynamics, but I rarely listen to music at loud volumes. The higher dynamic threshold of horn speakers makes them sound more life-like at modest volumes as well. | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE Ferrari,I always enjoy reading your posts, and especially your reviews of vintage equipment. Do you also own the "Anniversary" Disc? I have quite a few other Getz discs that I love, but that was my first one, and it is a great one. | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE Just as an added thought, I was listening to "The Lost Sessions" the other evening, and I was realizing once again the motivation that drives music lovers to become audiophiles. Stan's playing on this recording is so full of delicate nuance and dy... | |
| What does one purchase after owning horns? This is an interesting thread with a lot of good information. For me, whatever the shortcomings of horn systems may be, and they surely have shortcomings as all speaker systems do, the (relatively) greater dynamic freedom gives the music a sense o... | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE Thanks to Frogman, and all other posters. I just ordered the CD from Amazon a couple of minutes ago, and I can't wait for it to come. His music has given me great pleasure for years, and I am in awe of his lyricism and his virtuosity. Truly an all... | |
| Stan Getz VOYAGE I wonder if this has been reissued under any other names on CD as I don't have a turntable. I will check it out. I love the live "Anniversary" disc, and also "Lost Sessions". | |
| Is Upgrading Degrading? I can't speak for anyone but myself, but for me, it has been a long process. I don't really consider the evolution of my system "upgrading" toward some absolute standard. For me, it has been more about learning what is important to me personally i... | |
| CELESTION SL6 Si - woofer replacement/repair If you have owned the SL series of Celestion speakers, you will know that these can't be reconed or have the surrounds replaced. The driver was proprietary to Celestion. It was unique in not having a dust cap (which was unusual at that time), and ... | |
| CELESTION SL6 Si - woofer replacement/repair I didn't really think you would find one speaker, I was talking about buying a pair. They come up cheap enough to make it worthwhile if you really like them.They aren't my primary speakers either, but they just have really great balance of perform... | |
| CELESTION SL6 Si - woofer replacement/repair If you really love the speakers, you will probably need to buy another used pair, and cannibalize them for the woofers. As you probably already know, Celestion can't provide replacements, and the rubber surround was a special and integral part of ... | |
| Led Zep 45th Anniversary Shows at O2 in 2012 I feel pretty certain from things that Robert Plant has said in interviews that there will be no such reunion then or ever. It would be sad if there was. | |
| Coda CSIb - what loudspeaker would be perfect? I agree with the others. By all accounts, Coda makes good gear, and that integrated should be very capable of driving most reasonable speakers, so pick one that you like and go with it. | |
| Instrument that showcases your system Maybe the single full range driver in your speaker manipulates the part of the treble range that adds the crispness/attack component of cymbal sounds. I have never owned a single driver speaker, but it was my understanding that they are limited in... | |
| Band with highest success/talent ratio? Soundgasm, I'm with you. Garcia's Dead, and I'm Grateful. | |
| Question for the Hi-Fi experts ?? First of all, just because you like the way your headphones sound doesn't mean they are more or less accurate than your speakers, but of course, it is all about the sound that you like. Most people are going to tell you that the answer lies in the... |
