| Speaker cabinets: How important is inert Well designed cabinets are certainly a major factor in a speaker's overall performance, but a very "dead" cabinet is not the only effective means of producing a good speaker. Two examples of the alternate route would be the Harbeth speakers and Au... | |
| Review: Einstein The Tube Linestage Tube preamp Allchemie,I'm jealous, great gear that you have there - enjoy it. | |
| What's the objection to Floor Standing Speakers? Elizabeth, where are you! | |
| any comments on the YS Audio Experience A2 or A2SE There are plenty of threads with members who own them giving their opinions and making comparisons. Look it up in the archives. | |
| Throwing your gear under the bus Oh, it hurts to think about these things. Most painful- I sold my McIntosh MC 300 to buy a Pass Labs X250.5. Just didn't work in my system. | |
| what amp goes best with speakers ? I think you need to concentrate on one system at a time- the most important one first. Keeping the component in that system that you like the best, build around it based on advice from people here who have the same component in their system. | |
| Any experience with Audio Experience A2 preamp ? Audioman58,Do you refute what YS Audio said? Did you ever own the preamp, or were you just saying you did? | |
| Any thoughts on Spendor 9/1 - Are they worth buyin I owned a pair for 3 years, and I can recommend them. As you would expect from Spendor, the midrange is really beautiful. They are not at all bright, so hot recordings don't hurt, which is a plus for a lot of rock and pop. Electronic music is fine... | |

| Most sophisticated and intelligent musician Bryan Ferry, Beck, Chris Difford and Glenn Tillbrook. | |
| Audiolab, Rowland integrated - nothing in between? What about Exposure or Sugden? | |
| Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ????? The answer is yes,yes,YES!I auditioned about six of my favorite CDs with them, including Live Cream, and other rowdy stuff, and for sure they are bold as you please with rock. Very special, and I wish I owned them. | |
| What if you designed your ultimate speaker? I don't pretend to have even a small percentage of your (apparent) technical knowlege of speaker design theory or acoustics. What I was thinking though is that maybe the lack of interest in your first thread, and maybe this one (we'll see) is beca... | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? Very true Mcgarick. I owned the TDL Monitor for years, bought them again recently, but sold them because they were not compatible with my current listening room. Still, they were and are a very good speaker. | |
| Great Music/Bad Vinyl - 2010 Edition I am really glad to hear Xiekitchen point out Close to the Edge as a terrible CD transfer. I used to enjoy listening to it on LP. The CD is without exaggeration unlistenable. Once every couple of years , I think to myself, it couldn't be that bad ... |
